Recap Roundups
October 14, 2017
Winnipeg 2, Carolina 1
After being blown out in their first two games of the season, the Winnipeg Jets have found their defensive chops, defeating the Carolina Hurricanes 2-1 on Saturday night for their third win in a row.
Toronto 4, Montreal 3
It was a long first shift in overtime, but there was no way Toronto Maple Leafs forward Auston Matthews was going to give up the chance for an odd-man rush.
Tampa Bay 2, St. Louis 1
The Tampa Bay Lightning capped off a strong homestand with a 2-1 victory against the St. Louis Blues on Saturday at Amalie Arena.
New Jersey 3, NY Rangers 2
After playing what Drew Stafford described as four consecutive periods of bad hockey, the New Jersey Devils flipped the switch at Madison Square Garden and got back in the win column.
Philadelphia 8, Washington 2
Now in his 11th season, Philadelphia Flyers captain Claude Giroux is well aware that blowouts in the NHL do not occur very often, especially against a team such as the Washington Capitals, who allowed the fewest goals in the league last season.
Pittsburgh 4, Florida 3
Sidney Crosby joked that he wished the pass from Kris Letang that set up Pittsburgh's winning goal Saturday night wouldn't have come in high so he wouldn't have had to bat it out of the air.
Dallas 3, Colorado 1
Stars coach Ken Hitchcock won his 783rd career game and passed Al Arbour for the third-most wins in NHL history with a 3-1 win against the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday.
Columbus 5, Minnesota 4
In the early days of the season, the injuries have just kept coming for the Minnesota Wild.
Chicago 2, Nashville 1
Blackhawks left winger Brandon Saad knew exactly what he wanted to do before he hopped over the boards and started his shift in overtime Saturday night.
Boston 6, Arizona 2
The Boston Bruins simply don't lose to the Arizona Coyotes, especially on a night when defenseman Zdeno Chara was playing as if were a couple of decades younger against an Arizona team that's yet to win this season.
Calgary 5, Vancouver 2
The Calgary Flames played with fire, but got away without getting burned.
Ottawa 6, Edmonton 1
Ottawa Senators goalie Mike Condon got his first win of the season while making 34 saves, but he wanted to talk about something else after Saturday's 6-1 shellacking of the Edmonton Oilers at Rogers Place.
Los Angeles 4, Buffalo 2
The Los Angeles Kings didn't figure to go the entire season without a power-play goal.
NY Islanders 3, San Jose 1
The San Jose Sharks sent a barrage of 41 shots at New York Islanders goaltender Thomas Greiss on Saturday night at SAP Center.
