PACIFIC DIVISION CLUBS PULL OFF WINS IN DRAMATIC FASHION

* Alex Tuch scored twice in regulation as Vegas tied the game two times before Jonathan Marchessault completed the comeback with a penalty-shot goal in overtime. Marchessault, who finished second on the club with 27-48—75 last season, leads the Golden Knights in goals and points through 11 games (6-5—11).

* Marchessault scored the 15th penalty-shot goal in overtime in League history, with Vegas becoming the 13th different franchise to have such a tally (NSH and ANA have two each). There were five penalty-shot goals in overtime over the past two seasons.

* Ilya Kovalchuk (1-2—3) factored on three straight goals as the Kings erased a 2-0 deficit, but the Rangers tied the score in the third period, setting the stage for Alec Martinez to net the go-ahead goal with 55 seconds left in regulation. The win halted a six-game losing streak for Los Angeles. It was Kovalchuk’s first three-point game in the NHL since Feb. 15, 2013 and the 69th of his career; only seven active players have more such performances.

* Timo Meier (2-1—3) notched his first career three-point performance, capping the night with an overtime goal, to extend his point streak to a personal-best eight games (7-4—11). Brent Burns collected an assist on the opening goal to also extend his point streak to eight games (2-11—13), matching a career high achieved twice before. They are the third set of teammates in franchise history to record simultaneous point streaks of at least eight games.

McDAVID JOINS GRETZKY, MESSIER, KURRI AND ANDERSON WITH ANOTHER POINT

Connor McDavid scored in overtime to boost his season totals of 8-9—17 and lift Edmonton to a third straight win. He became the fourth different player in franchise history to record 17 or more points through the team’s opening 10 games of a season, and first to do so since MarkMessier in 1989-90.

* McDavid scored his fifth career overtime goal and first this season. Since the start of 2016-17 (his first 82-game season), McDavid leads all players with 12 overtime points (4-8—12), one ahead of teammate Leon Draisaitl (5-6—11) - who assisted on his goal Sunday - and Pittsburgh’s Phil Kessel (4-7—11) and Kris Letang (2-9—11) over that span.

AHO ALSO IN CONVERSATION WITH GRETZKY, FRANCHISE LEGENDS

Sebastian Aho (4-12—16) tallied an assist to become the third player in NHL history to begin a season with an assist in 11 or more consecutive team games, while also tying Ron Francis for the longest season-opening point streak in Hurricanes/Whalers franchise history.

* Aho joined Wayne Gretzky (1982-83 w/ EDM) and Ken Linseman (1985-86 w/ BOS) as the only players in League history to record a season-opening assist streak of at least 11 games. Gretzky and Linseman opened with 12-game assist streaks in the campaigns referenced above.

* There have been five other instances in franchise history of a player recording at least 16 points in the month of October, with the last three occurring in October 2007 when current head coach Rod Brind’Amour (6-12—18), current captain Justin Williams (5-11—16) and Eric Staal (9-7—16) each did so. Staal set the club record with 9-13—22 in October 2005, and Sami Kapanen had 8-8—16 in October 1999. Carolina plays its 12th and final game of October on Tuesday against Boston.

TOP SCORERS KEEP IT ROLLING

Various team points leaders found the score sheet yet again on Sunday:

* Patrick Kane had an assist to extend his point streak to six games (6-4—10), notching points in 11 of 12 outings so far this season (11-7—18). Kane, who trails only Mikko Rantanen (5-16—21) in League scoring for 2018-19, is off to the second-best 12-game start of his career (9-10—19 in 2012-13). His current clip is two points better than his 12-game start in 2015-16, when he opened with 7-9—16 en route to winning the Art Ross Trophy with career-highs in goals, assists and points (46-60—106).

* John Klingberg (0-2—2), who leads club blueliners with 5-6—11 in 2018-19 (10 GP), is tied for the second-most points by a Stars/North Starsdefenseman through the team’s opening 10 games. He is the only defenseman in franchise history to record 10 or more points through 10 team games in multiple seasons (3-7—10 in 2017-18).

* Anders Lee (1-1—2) factored on both Islanders goals for his second consecutive multi-point game, increasing his team-leading point total to 4-7—11. Lee, who scored a career-high 40 goals in 2017-18, became the first Islanders player to record at least 11 points in the opening 10 games of a season since John Tavares in 2015-16 (5-6—11).

* Thomas Chabot (0-2—2) boosted his team-leading assist and point totals to 3-10—13 on the season. Only 10 games into the 2018-19 campaign, the 21-year-old defenseman has already accumulated more than half his career point total from prior to this season (9-16—25 in 64 GP).

FINNISH FORWARDS LOOK TO MAINTAIN MOMENTUM ON DOUBLEHEADER

With NHL teams now overseas for a Global Series doubleheader in Helsinki, Finland later this week, a pair of Finnish forwards look to build on momentum during a national doubleheader tonight in Canada:

* Kasperi Kapanen (Kuopio, Finland) scored the go-ahead, game-winning goal Saturday to complete Toronto’s multi-goal, third-period comeback against Winnipeg, who now are on the ground in Helsinki. The 22-year-old has 6-4—10 in 11 games in 2018-19, matching his career point total entering this season (8-2—10 in 55 GP).

* Mikael Granlund (Oulu, Finland) takes a seven-game point streak into tonight’s contest (5-4—9), while the Wild aim to become the first team to win six consecutive games this season. The 26-year-old is tied with Winnipeg’s Patrik Laine for fourth among active Finnish players with 83 career goals, a list topped by teammate Mikko Koivu (195).
