Senators Strike Early Shorthanded, Blow Out Bruins In Boston - Yahoo

Connor Hellebuyck's suspension will come to an end on Friday. Elliotte Friedman has the story.

Initial reactions and ObservationsBayern played a near perfect match today, and preserved enough players for the big game against Arsenal. Maarten Vandevoordt produced 11 saves today, the highest number of saves in a single match so far in the Bundesliga. Luis Diaz was electric today. He got the hat-trick his performance deserved. Kane and Olise were potent up front as well. That’s all, folks. Thanks a bunch for staying with us. The big one is up next: a home match against Arsenal. Bayern did beat them 1-0 before but that was under much different circumstances. Can the Bavarians win it? Maybe, but we’ll have to find out in a few days. Speak to you all in a bit.90+4’ — Full time!90+3’ — Urbig saves twice to deny Leipzig.90+2’ — Goal. Bayern somehow lets one in.90’ — Boey shoots weakly at Vandevoordt. Three minutes of stoppage time added on.86’ — Brajan Gruda fires wide. It’s not Leipzig’s night.82’ — Seiwald’s shot is a weak one, straight at Urbig again.78’ — Leipzig register their first shot on target in the entire match. Urbig saved it easily.77’ — Sacha Boey replaces Kim Min-jae.75’ — Olise and Gnabry miss sitters one after another.69’ — TOR!

The Edmonton Oilers have only surrendered nine goals in the last five games, which speaks to their quality goaltending, structured five-on-five play, and consistent forecheck. The issue with that number is that five of those nine goals are against the Oilers’ penalty kill, which was a point of emphasis for new associate coach DJ Smith after the whipping that PK took in the postseason. That category has been tough sledding overall for the team, which sits at 68.2 per cent for the season, fifth worst in the NHL. The opposition has scored on the power play in five of seven games, and the Utah Mammoth made it happen twice, punishing Josh Samanski’s double-minor for high-sticking and the team’s bench minor on Thursday. The Mammoth PP bumped up to first in the league at 37.5 per cent, and have scored multiple goals on the man advantage in a game a league-best five times. “I think we’re just attacking,” said Barrett Hayton on the power play’s success. He extended his point streak to five games. “Obviously that first unit’s been so good snapping around, they’re so dangerous, and I think they’ve done a great job kind of keeping that mindset.

How can I not go with Auston Matthews after he's cashed this play for us in two straight games? He's clearly on another level now that he's healthy, and his shooting percentage (40%) is among the league's best on the man advantage. When Matthews is shooting, he's hitting twine - he has four goals across his last three games as a result. Let's pot one more against this stingy Islanders defense. I'm loving William Nylander's shot volume right now, as the Leafs winger has registered at least three shots on goal in four consecutive games. He's averaging 6.5 shot attempts per contest, the 23rd-highest mark in the NHL, giving us plenty of reason to believe his hot streak can continue. With the Islanders playing an undisciplined brand of hockey, watch for Willy on the power play to drive us over the line.
