McDavid Makes History as Oilers Top Rangers 4-1

McDavid became the fastest player ever to hit 30 assists in a season, doing it in 15 games one faster than Wayne Gretzky.

He kept his point streak alive by netting his ninth goal of the year just 50 seconds in, blowing past the entire Rangers defense.

Evan Bouchard also entered the record books when he picked up his 18th assist of the season on Colton Dach's opening goal. His 26 points through 15 games are the third-most ever for a defenseman to start a season, trailing only Al MacInnis (27) with Detroit and Bobby Orr (30) with Boston.

Bouchard added his eighth goal of the season in the second period, with helpers from Leon Draisaitl (15) and McDavid (30).

Drysdale's Career Night Powers Flyers Past Mammoth 6-3

The victory was Philadelphia's first this season scoring more than three goals. Matvei Michkov opened it with his 10th of the year to make it 1-0, but Dmitri Simashev (3) answered for Utah less than two minutes later to even it.

Philadelphia then rattled off four straight goals spanning the second period into the start of the third, with Travis Konecny and Oliver Bonk both notching their first goals of the season.

Utah tried to rally with two consecutive power-play goals, but Cole Knuble (3) sealed it with an empty-netter.

Jamie Drysdale dished out three assists in the win, a single-game career high.

Flyers record: 4-8-4 (W1)

Mammoth record: 9-6-0 (L1).

Kochetkov Shuts Out Jets as Hurricanes Roll 7-0

Carolina goalie Pyotr Kochetkov pushed his season-opening win streak to 10 games with a 26-save shutout, his second blank sheet of the year.

Sean Walker scored twice in the rout to bring his season total to three goals. Carolina registered double-digit shots in each period and finished with 32 for the night.

Winnipeg has just one win in its last 10 games.

Hurricanes record: 12-2-2 (W4)

Jets record: 4-8-3 (L9).

Gauthier Hat Trick Sparks Wild Ducks Comeback Over Senators 6-3

The Anaheim Ducks pulled off one of the wildest comebacks of the season. After Ottawa jumped to a 3-0 lead in the first period, Anaheim answered with six unanswered goals across the second and third.

Cutter Gauthier accounted for half of them with the second hat trick of his career, with Anaheim's last four goals all coming on the power play. The first three of those power-play goals were scored within four minutes of ice time.

Judd Caulfield (4) added two goals, while Roger McQueen (2) netted the other.

Leo Carlsson finished with three assists for the second straight game.

 

Ducks record: 6-7-1 (W1)

Senators record: 9-6-1 (L1).

Kaprizov Hits 500 Points as Wild Rout Capitals 5-1

Kirill Kaprizov reached 500 career points with his 15th goal of the season in Minnesota's win over Washington.

Quinn Hughes, Maxim Shabanov and Danila Yurov each scored their fifth goal of the year, with Michael McCarron (2) adding the other.

Minnesota goaltender Jesper Wallstedt has now allowed just one goal in three of his last four starts, and has recorded exactly 26 saves in back-to-back games.

Wild record: 10-3-3 (W1)

Capitals record: 8-5-0 (L1).
