Game # 6 Bos 3 Chicago 0 Poitras and Frederic help undefeated Boston Bruins blank Chicago Blackhawks 3-0 0:53 Matthew Poitras' breakaway goal pads Bruins' lead Matthew Poitras gathers the puck on the breakaway and zips it past the goalie to give the Bruins a 2-0 lead over the Blackhawks. ByAP Updated: Oct 25, 2023, 12:37 am CHICAGO -- — Closing out a four-game trip that included multiple time zones, Matthew Poitras and the Boston Bruins had more than enough to put away the Chicago Blackhawks. Poitras and Trent Frederic scored 56 seconds apart in the third period, and the Bruins beat the Blackhawks 3-0 on Tuesday night to match the best start in franchise history. Pavel Zacha also scored for Boston, which began the trip with wins at San Jose, Los Angeles and Anaheim. Jeremy Swayman made 23 saves in his 10th career shutout. “It's special. That's important for us moving forward,” Swayman said. “We knew that we had a challenge ahead of us, coming to the West Coast, time change, everything that you can find excuses for. But I think we used it to our advantage and it's a lot of momentum moving forward.” The Bruins moved to 6-0 in the franchise's centennial season. Boston also won its first six games of the 1937-38 season. "Starting to see our team identity build because I think the LA game and this game tonight, you’re starting to see us become a heavy, grinding team, which I think is what we’re going to have to be,” Bruins coach Jim Montgomery said. Petr Mrazek made 40 stops for Chicago in its third consecutive loss. The Blackhawks also lost to the Bruins on Oct. 11, falling 3-1 in Boston. The Bruins were in control for most of the night, but it was only good enough for a 1-0 lead before Poitras and Frederic helped put it away. The 19-year-old Poitras skated past veteran Blackhawks forward Corey Perry and beat Mrazek on the glove side at 4:06. The rookie forward scored his first two NHL goals in a 3-1 win at Anaheim on Sunday. “I saw a lot of open ice, so just skate as fast as I can and I was fortunate to pull away and find the back of the net,” Poitras said. Frederic made it 3-0 when he knocked home a slick pass from James van Riemsdyk. It was Frederic's second goal of the season. “I’m kind of at the point, tired, one year’s enough of we’re a hard-working team,” Chicago coach Luke Richardson said. “I think we want to push for more this year. I think we start off with a good intention, but I find the other teams, not outwork us work ethic wise, but I want to say the hardness of the work, I mean like physical 1-on-1 battles.” Chicago appeared to jump in front on Connor Bedard's power-play goal with 6:45 left in the first period. Boston defenseman Charlie Coyle passed the puck right to Bedard, who beat Swayman with a rocket from the slot. But it was waved off after an offside challenge by Montgomery. The United Center crowd of 19,370 booed when the ruling was announced. Boston grabbed the lead on Zacha's first goal of the season 3:50 into the second. Zacha tipped home a shot by Kevin Shattenkirk from just inside the blue line. Boston dominated the period, outshooting Chicago 18-7. But Mrazek kept the Blackhawks in the game. OUCH Bruins forward Jakub Lauko was clipped by Blackhawks forward Jason Dickinson’s skate in the third, leading to a cut on his face. “Lauko’s good, thankfully," Montgomery said. "Scary with the skate, but he got it in the corner of the eye. It’s good. Nothing touched the eye. Stitched up. Not going to be looking good for a while.”

Added goal # 3 last night, he stays.

Game # 6 Flames 2 Wings 6 Alex DeBrincat notches hat trick as the Red Wings win fifth straight by downing Flames 6-2 Alex DeBrincat scores to complete hat trick ByAP Updated: Oct 22, 2023, 08:27 pm DETROIT -- — Alex DeBrincat continued his hot start with his fifth career hat trick and the Detroit Red Wings extended their winning streak to five games by defeating road-weary Calgary 6-2 on Sunday. DeBrincat, acquired in an offseason trade with Ottawa, increased his season goal total to a league-high eight. “I’ve played with a lot of great players in my career, and I’ve tried to watch them and see where they go and learn some things from all of them,” DeBrincat said. “I think it is a little bit of that and a little bit of natural instincts. I was always smaller than everyone else, so I had to find different ways to score other than powering to the net.” Joe Veleno scored his third goal in two games and Dylan Larkin supplied a goal and an assist. Jake Walman scored his first goal this season, while Justin Holl and Lucas Raymond added three assists apiece. James Reimer made 29 saves for the Red Wings. Detroit was playing the second game of a back-to-back after winning at Ottawa on Saturday afternoon. “I don’t want to say this was a trap, but after such an emotional game yesterday and playing back to back, an inexperienced team might have come out flat,” coach Derek Lalonde said. “I challenged our guys not to do that and they came out with a pretty good effort.” Andrew Mangiapane and Yegor Sharangovich scored for Calgary. Dan Vladar stopped 24 shots for the Flames, who finished 1-3-1 on a five-game road swing. “Six games in and a lot of hockey left to be played but we’ve got to pick it up,” Flames center Mikael Backlund said. “We don’t want to fall behind here. We want to say within the race.” DeBrincat's first goal of the game came off a pass by Holl 1:59 into the game. Veleno scored midway through the first period when he deflected a Ben Chiarot shot from the point. Detroit made it 3-0 two minutes into the second period. DeBrincat made a circle-to-circle pass to Larkin, who lifted a shot over Vladar's right shoulder. Calgary got on the board with 7:48 left in the period when Mangiapane knocked in a rebound of a Backlund shot. Detroit quickly responded when Larkin set up DeBrincat for a one-timer that beat Vladar on the stick side. “Cat’s hockey sense is off the charts,” Larkin said. “Everyone knows he can score, but it is how he finds space and how he finds pockets. It honestly took a little bit to get used to playing with a player who is looking for spots where most guys can’t score.” Sharangovich cut the Wings' lead to two late in the second period on a shot from the point. Shortly after Walman's goal, DeBrincat collected his hat trick with 16:16 remaining on a blast from the left circle that beat Vladar on the short side. “If you turn over as many pucks as we did, you’re asking for it,” Calgary coach Ryan Huska said. “Then it’s just a steady dose of odd man rushes coming back against. That’s not a recipe for winning at any level.” Flames D Rasmus Andersson served the first game of his four-games suspension. The league handed down the suspension for a charging penalty committed at Columbus on Friday. ... DeBrincat set a franchise history by scoring eight goals in his first six games with the club. Ed Litzenberger held the previous record with six goals in his first six games with Detroit in 1961. ... Larkin has 16 points in 15 career games against Calgary.

Game # 5 Bos 3 Ducks 1 Bruins rally past Ducks, extend season-opening win streak to five 0:42 Matthew Poitras' 2nd goal puts Bruins ahead for good ByAP Updated: Oct 23, 2023, 12:17 am ANAHEIM, Calif. -- — Matthew Poitras scored his first two NHL goals in the third period and the Boston Bruins beat the Anaheim Ducks 3-1 Sunday for their season-opening fifth straight win. The 19-year-old Poitras, playing in his fifth career game, scored at 6:29 of the final period to erase the Ducks' lead and then got the go-ahead goal nearly 4 minutes later when he stuffed home the rebound of Jake DeBrusk's shot. Brad Marchand added an empty-net goal and Linus Ullmark made 32 saves as the Bruins remained one of three undefeated teams along with Vegas and Colorado. Marchand extended his points streak to five games while David Pastrnak saw his four-game goal-scoring streak come to an end. “It was a good win and we just kind of stayed together and stuck with it,” Poitras said. “It was maybe not our best, but we were able to get the job done.” Mason McTavish scored the lone goal for the Ducks, who lost their third straight and fourth in five games this season. John Gibson made 25 saves. Anaheim lost despite a 31-26 advantage in shots on goal, but Ducks coach Greg Cronin hardly was satisfied. Cronin said his team should have put at least 40 shots on goal, if not more, in a refrain of what he has been preaching in the early part of the season. “At this point, it's going to be like a value system,” said Cronin, who insisted that simple math says more shots on goal will yield more goals. “We're going to just shoot pucks. I don't care if it's from the (opposite) goal line. Just put them at the goalie's pads.” The Ducks were the first to break through in the scoreless game as McTavish scored on a rush with Ryan Strome at 5:05 of the third period. Strome’s shot on Ullmark rebounded into the slot and McTavish got enough on his shot to slide in the goal off the left post for his second of the season. Poitras needed just 1:24 to even the score when he took a centering pass from Morgan Geekie from the left side of goal and scored out front past Gibson, who was late to get back into position from the left post. It was a goal Poitras said he had been dreaming about, “my whole life, really.” “Especially a lot more the last couple of weeks and knowing that I'm playing here.” Poitras said. “Maybe I was a little tired at the start of the third (period) but to see that one go in, it felt great.” Piotras was later in perfect position when DeBrusk’s shot rebounded off Gibson’s chest. Piotras cleaned up the loose puck for his second goal and a 2-1 advantage at 10:20. Marchand’s fourth goal of the season came with 2:34 remaining after the Ducks pulled Gibson for an extra skater. The Bruins missed a prime chance to take an early lead on DeBrusk's short-handed breakaway just over a minute into the game, but his shot on Gibson hit the left post. DeBrusk returned to action after being held out from Saturday’s victory over Los Angeles for being late to a meeting. Boston had a 13-8 advantage on shots in the first period, while Anaheim forced the issue in the second period with a 10-4 advantage. “I have a lot of faith in my boys in front of me, making the right plays and keeping their guys to the outside” Ullmark said. “That's what we have to do. ... We did all the things in the right way there in the third when we had the lead." Bruins forward Trent Federic went to the locker room late in the second period after he absorbed a hip check from the Ducks’ Radko Gudas in the lower abdomen. Bruins defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk made his return to Anaheim and received a short tribute video in the first period after playing the previous three seasons in Anaheim. Ducks rookie Leo Carlsson was an observer Sunday as a healthy scratch following a road game Saturday against Arizona. Carlsson, the No. 2 overall selection in this year’s NHL Draft, made his NHL debut Thursday and scored a goal on his first career shot against Dallas. He did not register a point in 22 minutes against the Coyotes. The Ducks are expected to keep the 18-year-old forward on a moderate early workload as he adapts to the NHL.

And the shaving cream bath....

LA Kings Captain Anze Kopitar to Set Franchise Record on Saturday for Most Games Played October 20, 2023 Anze Kopitar, who this past Thursday played in his 1,296th regular season game, on Saturday will pass former teammate Dustin Brown for the most games played in LA Kings history when the Kings host the Boston Bruins. Tomorrow night’s game against the Boston Bruins at Crypto.com Arena will be Kopitar’s 1,297th career game. Brown (1,296 games) had held the record since 2019 after he surpassed Dave Taylor (1,111). Drew Doughty (1,099) is expected to pass Taylor in the coming weeks to place third all-time. The milestone is one of many Kopitar is expected to reach this season. He is seven assists shy of surpassing Marcel Dionne for the franchise record in that category. He is also five goals shy of the 400-goal plateau, and nine points shy of surpassing Luc Robitaille for second-most points all-time in that category in Kings history. The game this past Thursday in Minnesota also marked Kopitar’s 647th career road game, which surpassed Brown (646) for the most road games played by a King all-time. To commemorate the achievements, Kopitar will be featured in a special on-ice ceremony at Crypto.com Arena later this season.

Game # 4 Bos 4 LA 2 Marchand scores twice, Pastrnak has goal, 2 assists as Bruins beat Kings 4-2 to stay unbeaten ByAP Updated: Oct 22, 2023, 02:36 am LOS ANGELES -- — Brad Marchand scored twice, David Pastrnak added three points and became the first Boston player in 21 years with a goal in each of the first four games, and the Bruins remained unbeaten with a 4-2 victory over the Los Angeles Kings on Saturday night. It is the third time in Marchand’s 15-year career he has recorded a point in each of the Bruins’ first four games (three goals, three assists). He scored Boston's final two goals and had an assist in the first period. Pastrnak, who was second in the league with 61 goals last season, had a goal and two assists. He is the first Bruins player since Dimitri Kvartalnov in 1992-93 to open the season with a goal in four straight games. Pastrnak is off to another fast start with five goals and eight points. Morgan Geekie scored the go-ahead goal in the second period for the Bruins, who are off to their first 4-0 start since 1990-91. “I think we started to get more physical. We got emotion into our game. … And then I think we just wore out the back of the net," Bruins coach Jim Montgomery said. "We held onto pucks. I think we really saw the type of team we believe we can be.” Los Angeles had its two-game winning streak snapped on a night when Anze Kopitar skated in his 1,297th career game, passing Dustin Brown for most games played in franchise history. Los Angeles' Alex Laferriere scored his first NHL goal to tie it at 1 in the second period before Geekie and Marchand scored in a 48-second span later in the period to put the Bruins up for good. Boston's Derek Forbert had a pair of assists and Jeremy Swayman stopped 32 shots. Carl Grundstrum had a power-play goal late in the third period for Los Angeles, and Cam Talbot made 21 saves. Pastrnak opened the scoring at 13:10 of the first period. with a wrist shot from the top of the left faceoff circle that went off the crossbar and into the net. Laferriere evened it at 1 at 6:28 of the second period on a breakaway. The 21-year old forward, who was playing in his fifth NHL game, was able to get a wrist shot as he was going down to one knee after being pressured from behind by Boston defenseman Brandon Carlo. “It was just an unbelievable play by my linemates. Kevin (Fiala) made a great pass to PL (Pierre-Luc Dubois) and then PL found me kind of right up the middle,” Laferriere said. "I was feeling the pressure, so good to get the first one.” Geekie put in his first as a member of the Bruins at 14:45 of the second with a rebound after Derek Forbert’s shot from near the blue line went off Milan Lucic’s skate. “Just right place, right time kind of thing," Geekie said. "Just try to give it a little extra effort to get through there and just get inside and make a play on the puck.” Marchand then made it a two-goal lead at 15:33 when his wrist shot from the top of the slot went between Talbot’s legs for his second of the season. Marchand extended the lead to 4-1 at 17:48 of the third after getting a great pass from Pastrnak in front of the net. TOUGH START AT HOME Los Angeles was one of the top teams in the league at home last season, but are 0-2-1 in their first three to open this campaign. The Kings though did not get an easy schedule to start the year on home ice with two division champions (Colorado and Carolina) and President's Trophy winner Boston as the opposition. “We talked about needing measuring tools and measuring sticks. Those are three teams that you have to beat especially on home ice at some point,” Kings coach Todd McLellan said. "When I look at how we lost those games, we gave up two shorties, we lacked details on face offs, our net play, we gave up 13 goals against those three teams in our building. "I think we have a pretty good path right now as a team of where we need to go and what we need to work on. We can get there. I really believe we can. But we now have some direction. And that’s not a bad thing to have.”

Welcome to the forums.... Don't know much about streaming, but i have the center ice package, watching that game now, you should have it also.

Game # 5 CGY 1 CBJ 3 Danforth has goal and an assist, Martin stops 36 shots as Blue Jackets beat Flames 3-1 Justin Danforth scores goal vs. Flames ByAP Updated: Oct 20, 2023, 10:48 pm COLUMBUS, Ohio -- — Justin Danforth had a goal and an assist, backup goalie Spencer Martin stopped 36 shots to get his first win in nearly a year, and the Columbus Blue Jackets beat the Calgary Flames 3-1 on Friday night. Sean Kuraly and Zach Werenski also scored for the Blue Jackets, who rebounded from a 4-0 loss to Detroit on Monday. "There was a lot of good stuff from us," Kuraly said. Elias Lindholm scored, and Jacob Markstrom stopped 23 shots for Calgary. After a scoreless first period, Kuraly picked up a leading pass from Danforth in the neutral zone and unloaded from the right circle. The puck went in under Markstrom's arm to get Columbus on the board at 6:29 of the second with Kuraly's first goal of the season and 50th of his career. In the third period, Jack Roslovic brought the puck out from behind the Flames' net and passed across the crease to Danforth who finished it to give the Blue Jackets a 2-0 lead at 8:45. Danforth recorded his first multi-point game in the NHL. Less than two minutes later, Lindholm broke away and beat Martin for a short-handed goal to get the Flames on the board. But that would be it for Calgary. “(The Flames) had a press there in the second and third and Marty was lights out tonight and has a great game,” Danforth said. Werenski got an unassisted empty-netter with 2:21 left to seal the win. “They came out and pressed us hard,” Calgary center Mikael Backlund said. “They put a lot of pressure on us. They have a lot of fast forwards. We knew that going in. I thought we were a little sloppier than we have been in the past.” BETWEEN THE PIPES Merzlikins left last Saturday's win against the New York Rangers with an unspecified illness and then missed the loss to Detroit on Monday. He wasn't 100% on Friday, so Martin started in his place again. Martin, in his fourth NHL season, was claimed off waivers from Vancouver because of a knee injury to Daniil Tarasov. FIGHT NIGHT The Blue Jackets’ Cole Sillinger and Flames center Nazem Kadri dropped the gloves and traded some wild roundhouse punches in the first period. Both went to the box for fighting. Shortly after, Columbus killed a 5-on-3 Calgary power play. “I think that fight was huge for us,” Danforth said. “Just the young kid (who) dropped the gloves with a veteran guy like that. It shows a lot for our team, and it’s big for him to step up like that for himself. I think after that's when we started.” LAINE SHAKEN UP Columbus forward Patrik Laine took a shot to the head from Rasmus Andersson as the horn sounded to end the game. Laine's teammate Erik Gudbranson took exception and jumped Andersson before the ice was cleared. Laine was very slow to get up. “I see a hit to the head and (Andersson) lifting his feet," Columbus coach Pacal Vincent said. "I saw the replay. That’s illegal in my book. So we’ll let the NHL deal with it.”

I know you are a big fan of the Sutter style, but they have to score goals to win games, another one goal game, winning this one.

Game # 4 Flames 4 Buff 3 Adam Ruzicka scores the go-ahead goal for the Flames, who beat the sloppy Sabres 4-3 Adam Ruzicka scores goal vs. Sabres ByAP Updated: Oct 19, 2023, 11:10 pm BUFFALO, N.Y. -- — Adam Ruzicka scored the go-ahead goal on a bad-angle shot 4:35 into the third period, and the Calgary Flames overwhelmed the sloppy Buffalo Sabres and rookie goalie Devon Levi in a 4-3 win on Thursday night. Jonathan Huberdeau, Blake Coleman and Walker Duehr also scored in an outing the Flames peppered 37 shots on net, including MacKenzie Weegar nearly sneaking in a shot from just inside the center line. Dan Vladar stopped 24 shots in his season debut in net. The Flames improved to 1-1-1 three games into a five-game Eastern trip, and responded with a goal each time the Sabres tied the score, with their final two set up by forcing turnovers. “When they came back, we didn’t think about negative. I think we stuck with it,” Huberdeau said. “We saw a lot of character from the guys. It’s a big team win.” Tage Thompson, JJ Peterka and Erik Johnson scored for the Sabres. Levi stopped 33 shots, but appeared off his game in his fourth consecutive start of the season. Ruzicka scored on a shot from just above the goal line to beat Levi through the legs. Duehr scored Calgary’s second goal by slipping a shot through Levi’s legs from the right circle. And the night almost got worse for the 21-year-old when he appeared to be caught sleeping on Weegar’s shot with 11:12 left in the third period. Levi got his right pad down to stop the puck just inside the post. Officials ruled the puck did not go in, and their call stood following a lengthy review. Sabres coach Don Granato credited the Flames for putting his team and goalie on their heels by getting shots to the net, no matter the angle. “They were intent on creating chaos and capitalizing on it better than we were. We wanted to pass our way into the net,” Granato said, while saying he needed time to review the goals before rating Levi’s performance. What he didn’t need to review was his entire team’s performance by saying: “We created our own mess tonight. We were sloppy.” Turnovers were an issue. Ruzicka’s goal — scored 1:21 after Peterka tied it at 3 — was set up after Dillon Dube forced a turnover by Connor Clifton at the left boards. “That was an example of a guy staying with it,” Flames coach Ryan Huska said of Dube. “He competed hard on the wall, ended up winning a puck, and then it was a nice quick release that I’m guessing the goalie probably wasn’t ready for.” And the Flames went up 3-2 on Coleman’s goal 1:52 into the third period when Dennis Gilbert created a turnover at Calgary’s blue line by knocking Sabres rookie Zach Benson off the puck. Buffalo is carrying three goalies, but placing its faith in Levi, who closed last season by going 5-2 with the Sabres after completing his third college season at Northeastern. Levi also got little help in front of him in a sloppy outing for Buffalo that ended with the Sabres spending the final 67 seconds short-handed after being penalized for too many men. Johnson’s goal was his first in 69 regular-season games, dating to April 26, 2022, though the former Colorado player scored twice in the playoffs since. “Any time I can chip one in, it’s a bonus,” said Johnson of scoring his 89th career goal in his 924th game. “That’s not really what I’m known for anymore, but fun to contribute. Obviously I’d trade that for a win.”

Game # 3 Bos 3 SJS 1 Bruins beat the winless Sharks 3-1 for their 3rd straight win to open the season 1:47 Boston Bruins vs. San Jose Sharks: Full Highlights Boston Bruins vs. San Jose Sharks: Full Highlights ByAP Updated: Oct 20, 2023, 01:53 am SAN JOSE, Calif. -- — Brad Marchand and James van Riemsdyk scored 21 seconds apart late in the first period and the Boston Bruins won their third straight game to open the season, beating the San Jose Sharks 3-1 on Thursday night. David Pastrnak scored for the fourth time this season and Linus Ullmark made 26 saves to get the Bruins off to a good start on their four-game trip. “I think it’s a good opportunity to get on a little bit of a roll,” van Riemsdyk said. “We have a lot of kind of games in a short span and I think that’s good this time of year to kind of get in the rhythm of our playing games and going from there.” The Sharks wrapped up a season-opening, four-game homestand with another loss. San Jose earned only one point in the four games against reigning division champions, losing in a shootout to Colorado on Saturday night. The Sharks became the third team ever to go winless when opening the season with four straight games at home. The California Golden Seals had two losses and two ties in 1971-72 and Calgary had three losses and a tie in 1997-98. Anthony Duclair scored the lone goal for San Jose. Kaapo Kahkonen made 34 saves. “We made a step forward with the things we touched on after our last game," coach David Quinn said. "I thought we spent more time in the o-zone and there was definitely more possession and forechecking. But, we’ve got a long way to go to where we want to get to, and you’re not going to get from A to Z without going through the alphabet.” The Sharks have lost 12 straight against Boston for their longest losing streak ever against an opponent. San Jose got some decent opportunities early but the Bruins took control of the game in the final two minutes of the opening period. Marchand beat Kahkonen with a wrist shot from the circle for his first goal of the season. On the next shift, van Riemsdyk jammed a puck under Kahkonen's pad during a scramble in front of the net to make it 2-0. “I thought the first five minutes were good,” Bruins coach Jim Montgomery said. “I thought the the next 10 kind of blah and then the last five were really good.” Pastrnak got a bit of luck to score in his third straight game late in the second period. He was on a 2-on-1 rush when a back-checking Marc Edouard-Vlasic poked the puck away but it deflected off Pastrnak's skate and went into the net. ROUGH SCHEDULE The Sharks were dealt a rough opening to the schedule with games against the four division winners from last season: Vegas, Colorado, Carolina and Boston. This is the first time since the realignment to four divisions in 2013 that a team opened the season by playing all four defending division champs.

Not a bad outlook to have.... That and Cossa in waiting.

Penguins, Canucks make trade involving four players The Pittsburgh Penguins acquired defenseman Jack Rathbone and forward Karel Plasek from the Vancouver Canucks on Tuesday in a trade for defenseman Mark Friedman and forward Ty Glover. "I would like to thank Jack for all the time he spent with our organization and always pushing hard when competing for a spot," Canucks general manager Patrik Allvin said. "It has been a tough couple of years for him and this will give him a fresh start. "The two players coming back in this trade will add to our depth as we continue to look at ways to improve our organization." Rathbone, 24, was a 2017 fourth-round pick and played in 28 games with the Canucks over the past three seasons, tallying two goals and three assists. He has scored one goal in two AHL games this season and will report to the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins. A native of the Czech Republic, Plasek, 23, was 2019 sixth-round pick. With HC Olomouc of Czechia in the 2022-23 season, Plasek notched six goals, nine assists and 15 points in 31 games. He will report to the Wheeling Nailers of the ECHL. Friedman, 27, played in 23 games with the Penguins last season. He has 12 career points (4 goals, 8 assists) over 65 games with the Penguins and Philadelphia Flyers. Glover, 23, had seven goals and five assists in 49 games with the AHL Penguins last season after signing an entry-level contract with Pittsburgh as an undrafted free agent.
