      1. Don’t get suckered into playing the SJ style of play. Some of their players will try to sucker you into taking dumb penalties and do things uncharacteristic of your style. Don’t fall for it.
    3. Keep the Depth Scoring Coming
      1. The Depth has come alive the last few games, needs to remain dangerous. Keep teams thinking.

    PP 0/2 1/1

    Analysis:

    Leafs looked poised to win from the beginning, San Jose would respond but then give up a goal. Toronto had far too many brain cramps, and the way the score ended after the first period shows it.

    Need to Do:

    need to clean up the defensive end and start capitalizing on their powerplays.

    Toronto Goal – 02:30 – Josh Leivo (2) from Tyler Ennis (2) and Frederik Gauthier (1)

    Need to Do:

    Keep your foot on the pedal. Make smart plays.

    Vancouver’s Elias Pettersson would score yet again and continues to lead all rookies in goals and points but would still fall to the Detroit Red Wings in a shootout.

     

    Pettersson has scored 10 goals in 10 games played. He is the fifth player outside of the League’s first season to score 10+ goals through their first 10 NHL games.

     

     

    In Tampa Bay’s Hockey Fights Cancer Awareness night, Tampa Bay would get the win in the contest over the Edmonton Oilers and move to a record of 11-3-1 and into first place in the NHL standings.

     

     

    St. Louis F Ryan O’Reilly registered a hat-trick and would extend his point streak to eight games in the contest against the Hurricanes. O’Reilly also had an eight-game point streak during the 2015-16 season.

     

     

    In this match-up, Ilya Kovalchuk had one goal and two assists in the first game for new Kings head coach, Willie Desjardins.

     

     

     

    San Jose’s Joe Thornton played in his 1499th NHL contest last night and tied Mike Modano for 19th all time.

     

     

    With his next game, Thornton will become the first overall pick in the history of the NHL Draft to reach the 1500 game milestone.

     

    As a note from the contests yesterday, this would only be the fifth time in League history where the home teams swept a schedule of 9+ games.
