DID YOU KNOW?
Elias notes that the Blackhawks won when trailing by two goals in the final three minutes of regulation for the fourth time in club history – and for the second time in less than a year. The other instances: Nov. 27, 2015 at ANA (3-2 OT W), Feb. 6, 2007 at CGY (3-2 SO W) and Dec. 29, 1926 vs. the Montreal Maroons (5-4 OT W).

CANADIENS CONTINUE ROAD DOMINANCE OF BRUINS
Canadiens goaltender Carey Price (19 SV) helped the club extend their road winning streak against the Bruins to nine games dating to March 3, 2013 (BOS: 0-7-2; includes 5-1 W by MTL in 2016 Bridgestone NHL Winter Classic at Gillette Stadium). Elias notes that this marks the longest road winning streak by either team in their all-time series.

STRONG BETWEEN THE PIPES
* Sergei Bobrovsky denied all 32 shots he faced to backstop the Blue Jackets to their second win in as many nights. Bobrovsky, who moved to 8-1-1 in 10 career appearances vs. DAL (1 SO, 1.78 GAA, .943 SV%), became the first goaltender to reach 100 wins in a Blue Jackets uniform.

* Jimmy Howard denied all 30 shots he faced and Gustav Nyquist (2-0—2) provided the game-winning goal to guide the Red Wings to their fourth consecutive victory. Howard has surrendered only one goal against in two appearances this season (2-0-0, 1 SO, 0.50 GAA, .984 SV%).

* Making his second career NHL appearance (and first in nearly 11 months), goaltenderJuuse Saros made 34 saves to help the Predators snap a three-game skid. Saros surrendered his only goal against in the opening minute of regulation before Nashville responded with five unanswered tallies, led by multi-goal efforts from Viktor Arvidssonand Kevin Fiala.

STARTING STRONG
* Blackhawks forwards Artem Anisimov (2-0—2) and Richard Panik (1-0—1) each scored in the final minutes of regulation to rally their team to victory. Panik has compiled 6-2—8 in six games this season to equal his totals from 2015-16 (6-2—8 in 30 GP), while Anisimov has points in four of six contests this season (4-4—8).

* Flyers teammates Wayne Simmonds (1-1—2) and Matt Read (1-0—1) each extended their goal streaks to four games. Read shares second in the League (w/ Auston Matthews) with five goals, one back of Panik.

* Offseason acquisition Taylor Hall, who scored both goals in New Jersey’s 2-1 victory in their home opener, tallied 29 seconds into overtime to help the Devils earn their second win of the season. All three of his goals have come at Prudential Center.

* Blue Jackets defenseman Zach Werenski (0-1—1) became the first player in franchise history to begin his NHL career on a four-game point streak (2-3—5). Elias adds that Werenski is the first defenseman from any team to begin his NHL career on a four-game point streak since Jamie McBain in March 2010 w/ CAR.

* Hurricanes forward Victor Rask (3-3—6) and Canadiens forward Alex Galchenyuk (1-4—5) each notched an assist to extend their season-opening point streaks to five games.
