NHL Roundup: Bruins Dominate Panthers, Vegas Rolls, Jets Win Late Again
If you missed Sunday’s NHL action, you missed a lot. Comebacks, shutouts, overtime winners, and a finish so late it barely beat the buzzer here is your quick catch-up on all six games from a wild night around the league.
Bruins statement win, Scheifele buzzer-beater steals show...
The Boston Bruins delivered another statement win over Atlantic Division rivals the Florida Panthers, while the Vegas Golden Knights kept rolling on the road with a strong showing against the Buffalo Sabres.
Bruins Blitz Panthers Early to Keep Surprise Run Alive
Nobody saw this Boston start coming, but the Bruins (13-4-1) keep proving it is real. On Sunday, they took down a direct Atlantic Division rival in the Florida Panthers (9-7-2) with a fast, ruthless opening period.
Elias Lindholm, Michael Eyssimont and Morgan Geekie all struck in the first 20 minutes to put Boston 3-1 up, and after Florida pushed hard for a way back, JJ Peterka buried his fifth of the season late to kill the game off.
The Panthers threw everything at Jeremy Swayman, who stood tall with 40 saves on 41 shots. In a division where every point matters, Boston grabbed two more and showed their hot start is no fluke.

Golden Knights Cruise Past Sabres With Road Masterclass
It was a quiet summer in Vegas, but the Golden Knights (12-5-2) are making plenty of noise in 2026/27. On Sunday, they produced one of their sharpest performances of the season to dismantle the Buffalo Sabres (8-6-3) on the road.
After a scoreless first period, Vegas took over. Mitch Marner and Tomas Hertl each posted a goal and an assist as the visitors struck twice in the second and twice more in the third to take control.
Buffalo briefly threatened when Beck Malenstyn cut it to 2-1 in the final frame, and the Sabres even outshot Vegas 29-26. But Adin Hill shut the door with 28 saves, and the Golden Knights closed out a comfortable 4-1 win.

Scheifele Stuns Lightning at the Buzzer as Jets Survive Collapse
The Winnipeg Jets (7-8-3) love drama, and Sunday was no exception. They raced into a 3-0 lead over the Tampa Bay Lightning (11-4-2) through Cole Perfetti, Morgan Barron and a first career goal for Brayden Yager, only to watch it vanish in just over four minutes as Tampa Bay roared back to level it at 3-3.
With the game heading for overtime, Mark Scheifele delivered the moment of the night, scoring with just two seconds left to snatch another clutch win for Winnipeg. Pontus Holmberg scored twice for the Lightning, but it was not enough to stop the Jets’ late heroics.

Flames Rally Three Times Before Coronato Wins It in Overtime
The Calgary Flames (8-9-1) keep surprising people in 2026/27, and their youth movement led the way again at home against the Philadelphia Flyers (4-10-5). Calgary improved to 6-4-0 at home, but they had to do it the hard way.
Three times the Flames fell behind, and three times they answered, with Joel Farabee, Zayne Parekh and Zach Whitecloud all scoring to drag it back to 3-3 and force overtime.
It stayed back-and-forth in the extra period until Matt Coronato finished it off to send the home crowd home happy. Sean Couturier had a two-point night for Philadelphia, but the Flyers had to settle for a single point on the road.

Devils Blank Leafs in Dominant Road Shutout
The New Jersey Devils (13-5-0) keep rolling in 2026/27, and on Sunday they delivered one of their most complete performances yet, shutting out the Toronto Maple Leafs (8-9-2) 4-0 on the road.
After a scoreless first period, Timo Meier took over with two goals in the second to put New Jersey in control, and they never let go. Nico Hischier and Connor Brown also scored as the Devils turned just 29 shots into four goals, while Connor Hellebuyck stopped all 23 shots he faced to seal the shutout and lift New Jersey to 5-3-0 away from home.
Connor Hellebuyck is still undefeated with the @NJDevils! 👏 https://t.co/fXY0lqDcqr

Gauthier’s Hat-Trick Buries Penguins as Ducks Stay Red-Hot
The Anaheim Ducks (10-7-1) started slowly in 2026/27, but they are flying now, and Cutter Gauthier is the reason why. On Sunday, the superstar bagged his third hat-trick in just five games to dismantle the Pittsburgh Penguins (6-10-2).
Anaheim cruised into a 3-0 lead through two periods, and although Pittsburgh fought back late, Gauthier completed his hat-trick with an empty-netter, his 13th goal in his last six games, to seal the 5-2 win.
Evgeni Malkin picked up two assists for the Penguins, but they were never really in it. Pittsburgh slips further below .500 and is still searching for answers after a promising 2025/26 campaign.
Ducks dub!!!! Five in a row!! #FlyTogether https://t.co/JgkXLzFpqT
