Game of the Night

         Last night’s central division matchup between the Blackhawks and Predators was both Nashville’s home opener and PK Subban’s first goal as a member of his new team. Nashville scored 3 power play goals to defeat Chicago at Bridgestone Arena.

         Down 1-0, Subban’s blast from the point went in behind Corey Crawford to tie the game at 7:46 of the 1st. It was Subban’s very first shot of the season and as a Nashville Predator. After tying the game, Nashville never looked back, as they would go on to score 2 more goals on the power play to nab a home-opening win.

         Ryan Johansen picked up 3 assists in last night’s game. Mike Fisher and Roman Josi also scored, while Pekka Rinne stopped 22 of the 24 shots he faced. Amazingly, the tight defense of the Predators was able to keep Patrick Kane and Johnathan Toews off  the scoresheet. With their exciting and effective style of play exhibited in this game, the Predators hope to bring success throughout the season to Music City.

Game of the Night

         The Winnipeg Jets overcame a 4-1 deficit in the 3^rd period against the Carolina Hurricanes to win in overtime. The incredible comeback capped off an amazing home-opening game. Lost in the chaos, 2^nd overall pick Patrick Laine scored his first NHL goal off of an Ovechkin-esque shot from the left side. Winnipeg tied the game at 4 with 1:29 remaining in regulation with the goalie pulled. In 3-on-3 overtime, captain Blake Wheeler fed Mark Scheifele at the side of the net with a beautiful saucer pass to win the game.

Game of the Night

         Last night’s game between the Toronto Maple Leafs and Ottawa Senators saw Auston Matthews become the first player in NHL history to score 4 goals in a debut game. Not only did he score 4 goals in his first NHL game, but he looked like a seasoned veteran the way he played.

         His 2^nd goal of the game at 14:18 showed everyone why he’s being touted as the next big thing. Using his incredible skill, he expertly stickhandled through 3 Senators including superstar defenseman Erik Karlsson to enter the offensive zone. He then snuck a shot past goalie Craig Anderson to cap off an amazing individual effort. Keep in mind that this was his first ever game in the NHL, but he played as if he’s been doing this for years.

         Another game from last night wasn’t as noteworthy as the Toronto game, but is still worthy of being mentioned. The Edmonton Oilers had a convincing 7-4 win against their provincial rival Calgary Flames in their first game at their new building, Rogers Place. Connor McDavid scored 2 goals, including one on the first ever penalty shot at Rogers Place. After christening their new building with a win, the Oilers hope to continue their success as the season goes on.
