Blackhawks 2, Oilers 3 (OT) — Three Stars, Key Takeaways

The Blackhawks actually did a really nice job of holding their own for 19 minutes and 59.9 seconds in the first period. With Wyatt Kaiser was in the box, Leon Draisaitl rifled a shot that got thru Spencer Knight for what would have been a power play goal to give the Oilers a 1-0 lead … if the shot went in before the clock hit all zeroes. It did not. And doughnuts remained on the board into the intermission. Draisaitl did score late in the power play that carried over to start the second p...

The Flyers and Leafs played hockey Saturday night. Or attempted to. But an extremely slow, choppy, and at times chippy contest resulted in a 5-2 win for Toronto, and the first subpar effort of the season from Philadelphia goaltender Dan Vladar. The basics First period: 1:09 – Christian Dvorak (Nikita Grebenkin, Travis Konecny), 6:16 – Auston Matthews (Morgan Rielly, Nick Robertson) Second period: 8:14 – Jake McCabe (Chris Tanev, Matias Maccelli), 17:34 – Nick Robertson (Matthew Knies...

Canadiens vs. Senators Top Six Minutes: Montreal stays perfect in overtime

First period I miss Ray Ferraro already. The crowd is very quiet to begin this game. I guess they don’t know if they’ll be cheering a goal or a fight first. There also isn’t a whole going on to get excited about yet. The play is sloppy on both sides. Matheson has a breakout pass go awry, but Samuel Montembeault is there to make the save. It’s a big save, because moments later Cole Caufield gets a breakaway, and he squeaks the puck through the pads of Linus Ullmark, w...

Today In NHL History - Plante's Goalie Mask

Plante had been using the homemade mask during practices but no goalie ever wore one in a game.  Despite Blake's protest, Plante
