The @DallasStars recorded the NHL’s seventh three-goal, third-period comeback win of 2023-24, tied for the second most at this stage of a season in NHL history (989 GP). The only campaigns with more: 2019-20 & 1983-84 (both w/ 10).#NHLStats: https://t.co/4BFojS4cdq pic.twitter.com/JQZ5C1AORk

It’s funny because usually, acquiring a defenseman like that helps you give up fewer goals.
ROOOOOOPE CALLED GAME

Last night, the Oilers visited the Boston Bruins in a duel involving two of the NHL’s big teams.
WHAT. A. FINISH.

The German isn’t just an outstanding scorer.
He’s also very physical. Talk to Brad Marchand.

3. Jesse Puljujarvi’s first goal with the Penguins
Yesterday, he scored his first goal with the big club, his first in the NHL since February 11… 2023.

In fact, it was his first point of the season. In nine games, he has yesterday’s goal and that’s it.
The @penguins continued their playoff push with their 14th straight home win vs. Columbus. Pittsburgh (60 GP) holds games in hand on both Wild Card teams (TBL: 63 GP & DET: 61 GP) and third-place Philadelphia (63 GP) in the Metropolitan Division. #NHLStats:… pic.twitter.com/C2H6wSmzmw

And both clubs play in the same division…

5. Panthers spoil Travis Green’s debut
And let’s just say, Green’s first challenge was a big one. He and New Jersey were facing the NHL’s top team, the Florida Panthers.

The Devils didn’t give up. They tied the game, but the Panthers were simply too strong.
Matthew Tkachuk (0-3-3) reached the 50-assist mark with his eighth three-point game since Jan. 1 – tied with Nikita Kucherov for the most such performances in the NHL since the new year.#NHLStats: https://t.co/4BFojS4cdq pic.twitter.com/jyWasKS9hg

There’s no stopping Florida, who are three points behind their nearest pursuer in the overall standings.
