The Canadian lost last night in New Jersey. Another defeat for Martin St-Louis’ men…
But there were also 11 other games presented across the NHL.
Let’s take a look:
1: Two goals for Macklin Celebrini
The Sharks are not having a good start to the season.
But at least Macklin Celebrini is back, having missed the first month of the campaign due to injury.
Last night, the young man stood out against the Wild… Even if his club encore lost.
Celebrini scored two goals, and his second was particularly beautiful:
The Wild still won the match by a score of 5-2, inflicting an eleventh defeat (in 15 games) on the Sharks.
We have to celebrate the small victories in San Jose and seeing Celebrini score two goals is one of them.
2: An impressive line-up for Marc-André Fleury
Speaking of the match between the Sharks and the Wild…
On the Minnesota side, it was Marc-André Fleury who had the task of keeping goal for the game.
And by getting the start, Fleury had the opportunity to join Patrick Roy in third place for goalkeepers having played the most games in the National League.
Only Roberto Luongo (1044 games) and Martin Brodeur (1266 games) surpass him in this regard.
Fleury is now at 1029 career meetings:
He has 15 games left before joining Luongo in second place in history.
It should happen this season, logically…
3: Another embarrassing loss for the Preds
Good. There… It’s starting to be worrying.
At least that’s what Barry Trotz must be telling himself right now.
We know that the Preds are having an atrocious start to the season, and it continued again last night.
The Predators were in Florida to face the Panthers… And they allowed no less than six goals to their opponents:
The Panthers’ 6-2 victory allows them to sign their sixth consecutive victory. Not bad!
But the main thing to remember is that the Predators simply cannot win.
Seems a little crazy with all the recent big acquisitions…
4: The Jets are unstoppable
The Winnipeg Jets have been solid since the start of the season.
Like, very solid.
Connor Hellebuyck was also perfect last night by stopping all 35 shots aimed at him, while his club faced the Colorado Avalanche.
The Avalanche’s big guns were unable to break through la muraille Hellebuyck and the Jets finally won by a score of 1-0.
Gabriel Vilardi was the only scorer for his team.
This is therefore a 13th victory in 14 games for the Jets since the start of the campaign.
Who will be able to stop them?
5: A record for Crosby
Sidney Crosby made National League history last night.
The Penguins captain, in his club’s 5-1 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes, won his 14,838th career NHL faceoff.
And that’s a record:
Crosby passed Patrice Bergeron to take first place for himself.
He has already made his place in the Hall of Fame…
Note that in the match, Jack Roslovic scored his 8th and 9th goals of the season.
He is off to a good start to the season, just like the Hurricanes: the Carolina team has now won its last eight games.
Prolongation
– He’s too strong.
– A fight of Quebecers!
– That’s why he’s one of the best in the league.
– Oh.
– He’s on fire.
– Wow.
– Classic.
– You can’t do that, my Connor.
– The best scorers of the evening:
– Quiet schedule this evening:
