Evander Kane and Jack Eichel scored for the Sabres. The Devils had their streak of five straight games with a power-play goal halted Wednesday.2. “It’s no different (than) what (Lundqvist) is doing for our team”, the Rangers’ Derek Stepan told reporters after scoring for the second time in four games.

WASHINGTON – Washington’s Evgeny Kuznetsov had a goal and two assists, and Nicklas Backstrom and Dmitri Orlov had a goal and an assist each as the Capitals outscored Winnipeg.
Outside of goaltender Carey Price’s injury, which necessitated bringing up Dustin Tokarski from the IceCaps for about three weeks, St. John’s had benefited from a healthy Habs lineup through the first six weeks of the season. Just over a minute later, Alex Galchenyuk attempted a centring pass, but it was blocked and came right back to him near the faceoff dot. Condon started all nine games that Price missed and went 5-2-2 with a 2.39 goals-against average.
Sven Andrighetto gave the Canadiens a 1-0 lead at 4:45 of the first period as he knocked in a backhanded feed from Lars Eller at the crease off P.K. Subban’s initial point shot.
Ryan Miller did the rest of the work for the Canucks, stopping 30 shots.
RALEIGH, N.C. – Carolina became efficient during the middle of the game and scored four consecutive goals on the way to defeating Edmonton at PNC Arena. Two early turnovers – the story of the game – and it was 4-1, lights out.
With Price looking very uncomfortable, NY was able to get one goal back in the second, but Price fought through whatever pain he was dealing with, and managed to hold them at that.
Casey Cizikas and Frans Nielsen also scored for the Islanders.
“I want people to talk about this year rather than just last year; that’s my main goal for this year, to show people I’ve recovered from hip surgery and to really make another statement season”.
Jordan Staal and Jeff Skinner also scored for the Hurricanes.
It was Andrighetto’s first of the season, in only his second outing since being called up. “He’s a rookie goalie but he’s making some key saves”. If you look at the goals, that’s where they score their goals.
ABOUT THE CANADIENS (16-4-2): Montreal will be without nine-goal scorer Brendan Gallagher, who fractured two fingers while blocking a shot Sunday and will be out indefinitely. They tried to be too fancy instead of make the smart and simple play, and that’s where they got burnt and will continue to get burned if they keep playing like that. But the Canadiens can not afford to consider life without Carey Price for an extended period of time without considering whether they need to add veteran experience. Since his appointment, Bergevin turned around a team that had just finished with 78 points in the standings, showing the third worst record in the National Hockey League. Keith Yandle covered nobody in front (theme of the night). He won all three starts he made, while posting a. 926 save percentage.
