    3. Taylor Hall/Kyle Palmieri
      1. Control, be physical, don’t give these 2 much room on the ice. They will create and score.
    4. 3rd Line offence
      1. Need more offence from theses guys especially while Matthews remains out.

    Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, these are your news and notes for Wednesday, October 17th, 2018.

     

    There were eight contests in the NHL yesterday…

    • Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers went on to defeat the Winnipeg Jets 5-4 in overtime.Connor McDavid scored twice in the contest and in doing so, McDavid continued a streak of attributing to all of the Oilers goals thus far on the season. McDavid became the first player in NHL history to record a point on all nine of the team’s goals to begin the season. The NHL record for most points by a player at any point is 15, a mark set by Jaromir Jagr in the 1999-2000 season.
    • Kyle Palmieri would score for New Jersey and became the first player in League history to score the opening goal for his team in four straight games to open up the season. Only one player has started off with five and that mark belongs to Johnny Bucyk during the 1965-66 season.

      New Jersey would go on to win the contest 3-0 over the Dallas Stars.

      Keith Kinkaid would go on to register 24 saves to lead the Devils to a 4-0-0 record on the season thus far. This is the fourth time in franchise history that the Devils have won at least their first four games to start off the season. The last time they started off 4-0-0 was during the 1995-96 season.
