OTTAWA — Eight games is a small sample size but there’s no denying the Ottawa Senators are playing with confidence. The Senators improved to 6-2-0 after posting a 2-1 shootout win over the New York Islanders Thursday night. Perhaps most impressive, and not coincidental, is the play of Linus Ullmark who is 6-0 on the season with a .949 save percentage. Going back to last year, Ullmark is riding a 10-game winning streak. When mentioned to Ullmark, he shook his head as though it was strange to string wins from two seasons together. However, he said he’s feeling pretty good but still has a few things to clean up. “It’s always a battle every night,” admitted Ullmark. “Always a grind. Good players, good teams can’t really relax at any point during the game and that’s why I say it’s up and down.”It’s a far cry from the goaltender who started last season looking like he was battling every puck. Ullmark was 2-3-1 after six games last season having allowed 23 goals. He’s given up seven so far.

Dubois vs Wardley 2: Londoner retains title with dominant second-round stoppage - BBC
Daniel Dubois underlined his status as Britain's leading heavyweight with a devastating second-round stoppage of Fabio Wardley to retain his WBO title in London. The 29-year-old floored Wardley with a straight right inside the opening 20 seconds of their eagerly anticipated rematch at the O2 Arena and continued his relentless assault. Wardley survived the opening round but was overwhelmed by another sustained attack in the second, prompting his corner to throw in the towel. Dubois registers a second successive stoppage victory over Wardley, just five months after climbing off the canvas twice to dethrone his British rival in a thrilling 11-round contest in Manchester. This time, there was no such drama for the champion, who was dominant from the opening bell as he extended his professional record to 24 wins - 23 by knockout - and three defeats. "Fabio is a great boy, coming in for the second time, but it was my time and my era. I had my intentions, bad intentions from the beginning," Dubois said. "My back was against the wall the first time, this time we just had to go out there and show that we mean business, which is what we did tonight.

McDavid continues to climb all-time scoring charts in dominant start to season - Oilers Nation
A rested and determined Connor McDavid is a nightmare for opposing NHL teams and a joy to behold for Edmonton Oilers fans. His ascent up the NHL all-time scoring charts has been quick and lethal. His four-point night gave him 1,237 points, which ranks 45th all-time. He will pass Peter Stastney (1,239 in 977 games) later this week and will move ahead of Steven Stamkos (1263), Jean Ratelle (1267), Al MacInnis (1274), Alex Delvecchio (1281), Jarome Iginla (1300), Anze Kopitar (1316), Gilbert Perreault (1326), Pierre Turgeon (1327), Mike Gartner (1335), Denis Savard (1338) and Dave Andreychuk (1338) before the end of the year and rank 34th all-time. By the end of next season, he should be ranked among the top 20 scorers of all time, but he’ll only be at 960 games (maximum) by then. Every player in the top 20, except Mario Lemieux, played at least 1279 games. Some might get bored hearing about McDavid’s accolades, but you shouldn’t. You are witnessing an incredibly gifted player who could surpass 2,200 points. Yes, 2,200. For me, 2,000 is a lock, unless some freak injury occurs, and McDavid looks the best he ever has early on this season.
