CAPITALS EARN FIFTH CONSECUTIVE VICTORY
Marcus Johansson and Justin Williams scored back-to-back power-play goals 2:18 apart in the second period to lead the Capitals to their fifth consecutive win and a 9-2-1 record in their last 12 contests.

* Braden Holtby (31 saves), who leads the NHL with 15 wins, extended his personal winning streak to a career-high seven games (1.85 GAA, .935 SV%, 1 SO). Elias says Holtby has matched the longest personal winning streak by an NHL goaltender this season, set by Montreal's Carey Price in his first seven games of the campaign (October 7-24). Holtby is also the first Capitals netminder to win at least seven consecutive decisions in one season since Jose Theodore did so on two occasions in 2009-10.

KANE SETS AMERICAN RECORD WITH 19-GAME POINT STREAK
Patrick Kane (1-1—2) notched a goal and an assist to extend his career-high point streak to 19 games (11-20—31).

* Per Elias, Kane’s point streak is the longest by an American-born player in NHL history and is tied for the second-longest in Blackhawks franchise history:

LONGEST SINGLE-SEASON POINT STREAK BY AMERICAN-BORN PLAYER, NHL HISTORY
19 games – Patrick Kane (CHI) from Oct. 17 – Nov. 28, 2015 (11-20—31)
18 games – Eddie Olczyk (TOR) from Dec. 2, 1989 – Jan. 8, 1990 (11-17—28)
18 games – Phil Kessel (BOS) from Nov. 13 – Dec. 21, 2008 (14-14—28)

LONGEST SINGLE-SEASON POINT STREAK, BLACKHAWKS HISTORY
21 games – Bobby Hull from Dec. 5, 1971 – Jan. 23, 1972 (23-12—35)
19 games – Denis Savard from Dec. 6, 1985 – Jan. 15, 1986 (16-21—37)
19 games – Patrick Kane from Oct. 17 – Nov. 28, 2015 (11-20—31)

MORE ACTIVE STREAKS
Other players who extended point streaks on Saturday night include:

* Senators defenseman Erik Karlsson (5-9—14) extended his point streak to nine games.

* Stars forwards Tyler Seguin (4-7—11) and Jamie Benn (8-6—14) each extended their point streaks to eight games. Teammate John Klingberg extended his point streak to five games (1-6—7).

* Blues defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk (2-8—10) extended his point streak to eight games.

* Canadiens forward Alex Galchenyuk extended his point streak to five games (5-2—7), matching his career high from April 3 – 11, 2013 (3-3—6). Galchenyuk’s streak includes goals in a career-high four straight games.

THIS AND THAT
* Mikkel Boedker (3-0—3) posted his third career hat trick – and second of the season – to lead the Coyotes to their fourth consecutive home win. Both of Boedker’s three-goal games this season have come against the Senators. Per Elias, he is the first player in Coyotes/Jets history to post multiple hat tricks versus a single opponent in the same season, and first to do so in the League since Evgeni Malkin (vs. TBL) and Corey Perry(vs. CBJ) both did so during the 2011-12 season.

* Steve Mason (24 saves) posted his first shutout of 2015-16 and Wayne Simmonds (2-1—3) factored in on all three goals as the Flyers earned their first regular-season road win vs. NYR since Feb. 20, 2011 (4-2 W), snapping a 10-game losing streak at Madison Square Garden (0-10-0). Per Elias, Mason – who improved to 7-3-1 in 12 career regular-seasonappearances vs. NYR (2.19 GAA, .934 SV%, 1 SO) – was the first Flyers goaltender to post a road shutout vs. NYR since Michael Leighton (22 saves) on Dec. 30, 2009 (6-0 W).

* Matt Duchene (1-2—3) and Gabriel Landeskog (1-2—3) each registered three points to help the Avalanche improve to 5-0-1 in their last six home games vs. WPG dating to Oct. 27, 2013 (WPG: 1-2-3). Duchene has scored 11 of his 12 goals in November (13 GP). Per Elias, he is the first Avalanche player to score 11 or more goals in one calendar month since February 2003 (Milan Hejduk: 12).

MILESTONES & BENCHMARKS
* Patrick Roy earned the 100th win of his career as a head coach (all w/ COL) and Lindy Ruff earned his 100th win as head coach of the Stars.

* Stars goaltender Antti Niemi (23 saves) earned his 200th career win and improved to 10-4-0 this season (2.60 GAA, .908 SV%, 2 SO).

* Blackhawks forward Patrick Kane (600 GP), Islanders forward Mikhail Grabovski (500 GP) and Stars forward Patrick Eaves (500 GP) all skated in milestones games.
