Blackhawks head coach Jeff Blashill burned his timeout 8:20 into the first period to tear his team a new… attitude… with the scoreboard already showing the Penguins leading by three. One fluky goal and a couple mediocre scores later and the Hawks coaches were not happy. The Blackhawks got a power play after the timeout, did nothing with it, and the Penguins scored again. Out went Spencer Knight . In came Arvid Söderblom .

It isn’t how most teams would like to go about their winning ways, but the Tampa Bay Lightning wrapped up 2025 with a shoot-out victory over the Montreal Canadiens. Nikita Kucherov scored twice as the Lightning won their fourth game in a row and moved into a tie with Detroit atop of the Atlantic Division.
The Lightning did have a few reinforcements in the line-up. Brandon Hagel returned to action while the newly recalled Max Groshev made his NHL debut. In net was Jonas Johansson, and he w...

First period
A nice start from Phillip Danualt’s line with Josh Anderson and Alexandre Texier sees the Canadiens play the first shift of the game in the offensive zone.
Ivan Demidov creates a zone entry and Juraj Slafkovský gets a shot from the slot. Looks like there isn’t a great deal of rust to shake off for Montreal.
That line turns some play in the defensive zone into another shot on Johan Johansson. They have looked great recently.
Anderson goes six feet offside unne...
