The Bruins’ victory over the Florida Panthers extended their winning streak to four games while improving their home record to an impressive 8-1-0.

Jeremy Swayman was the difference-maker for Boston, stopping a season high 40 of 41 shots for a .976 S%.

David Pastrnak finished with two assists, three shots on goal and 21:16 of ice time, including nearly 11 minutes on the power play. Pavel Zacha also collected two assists, while Morgan Geekie scored his fourth goal in as many games and added five shots on goal. Elias Lindholm and JJ Peterka also found the back of the net.

For Florida, Carter Verhaeghe scored the Panthers’ lone goal, assisted by Brady and Matthew Tkachuk. Brady finished with eight shots on goal and one hit in just 13:12 of ice time, while Matthew added five shots and five hits of his own.

In goal, Jacob Markstrom stopped 32 of 36 shots, finishing with an .889 save percentage in the loss.

Adin Hill was a big reason Vegas came away with the win, stopping 28 of 29 shots for a .966 SV%. Hill has been playing solid hockey lately, picking up three wins in his last four starts. The split between Hill and Carter Hart has been fairly even, with Hill appearing in nine games (7-2-0) and Hart one more (5-3-2) on the season.

Mitch Marner scored a shorthanded goal before Jack Eichel added another just over a minute later. Marner finished with two points (1G,1A) and three shots on goal.

Tomas Hertl was the biggest offensive standout, scoring twice, while Ivan Barbashev chipped in with two assists. Shea Theodore also picked up an assist and led all Vegas players in ice time, logging 24:18.

It was a quieter night offensively for Buffalo, with Beck Malenstyn scoring the Sabres’ only goal. Colton Ellis got the start in net, making 22 saves while allowing four goals.

The Jets scored the game-winner with just 1.6 seconds remaining in regulation. Mark Scheifele converted on the powerplay off assists from Cole Perfetti and Gabe Vilardi to secure the win. Scheifele finished with two points (1G, 1A), as did Perfetti, who also opened the scoring for Winnipeg earlier in the game.

Neal Pionk picked up an assist and led all players with 27:15 of ice time, while Morgan Barron and Brayden Yager also found the back of the net for the Jets. Winnipeg appeared to have things under control after building a 3-0 lead, but Tampa Bay made things interesting in the third period, scoring three unanswered goals to tie the game. Special teams ultimately made the difference, with Winnipeg going 3-for-5 on the power play compared to Tampa Bay’s 0-for-4.

Pontus Holmberg scored twice in the third period to help bring Tampa Bay back into the game. Nikita Kucherov and Jake Guentzel, however, were relatively quiet, combining for just one shot on goal and no points.

The bigger concern for Tampa Bay was Brayden Point, who left early in the first period and did not return. Point entered the game with 16 points (5G, 11A) in 17 games.

In goal, Stuart Skinner picked up the win for Winnipeg, stopping 17 of 20 shots, while Andrei Vasilevskiy allowed four goals on 25 shots for Tampa Bay. Neither goaltender delivered stellar performances, with both finishing below an .850 SV%.

The New Jersey Devils extended their win streak to five games with a shutout against the Leafs who have now dropped five of their last six games.

Timo Meier scored twice for the Devils, one of which was a powerplay marker and the only powerplay goal for New Jersey.  Nico Hischier also had a productive night, finishing with a goal and an assist while reaching the 500-point mark for his NHL career. He becomes just the third Swiss-born player to reach that milestone, joining Roman Josi and Kevin Fiala.

Jack Hughes and Jesper Bratt continued to drive the Devils’ offence, with both players recording two assists. Hughes has 11 points (5G, 6A) over his last five games, while Bratt has seven points (1G, 6A) over that same stretch. Bratt looks like he has rebounded from last season and is on pace for a point per game.  

Connor Hellebuyck was outstanding, stopping all 23 shots to record his first shutout as a member of the Devils.

In other Connor Hellebuyck news, the Devils have decided to sit Hellebuyck out their next game against the Jets in Winnipeg. An interesting choice considering the Hellebuyck has been 5-0 since joining the Devils.

Devin Cooley stopped 31 of 34 shots in his return to the crease after missing the previous four games with a lower-body injury, doing enough to help the Flames hold off the Flyers and secure the overtime win. Matt Coronato scored the game-winner after receiving a pass from Matvei Gridin.

Zayne Parekh also had a solid evening, scoring his second goal of the season. Parekh has now recorded six of his eight points since October 24^th.

Yegor Sharangovich quietly contributed two assists, picking up helpers on goals by Parekh and Zach Whitecloud. Whitecloud also found the back of the net for the first time this season, while Gridin added an assist on Coronato’s overtime winner. Joel Farabee scored a shorthanded goal to tie the game in the third period.

Owen Tippett led all Flyers players with six shots on goal and scored Philadelphia’s only power-play marker. It was also his first goal since returning to the lineup.

Denver Barkey extended his point streak to three games, recording two goals and an assist over that stretch. He finished the night with a goal, three shots and three hits, continuing to make the most of his opportunities.

Sean Couturier added two assists, while Jamie Drysdale picked up an assist and recorded four shots in 22:08 of ice time. More on Drysdale later.

This seems like déjà vu from last week’s Ramblings, but here we go again. Cutter Gauthier recorded yet another hat trick, more specifically his third hat trick in five games and extending his goal streak to six games. Gauthier has been something else, scoring 13 goals during that stretch and continuing to be one of the hottest fantasy players in the league.

Teammate Mikael Granlund also had a big night, finishing with a goal and three assists and Jackson LaCombe continues to be one of the more productive defencemen in the league, picking up three assists and extending his assist streak to 10 games, with 15 points over that span. LaCombe also logged a massive 30:55 of ice time, marking his third consecutive game with more than 30 minutes of TOI.

Tristan Luneau also found the scoresheet, scoring on the power play early in the third period. Luneau has been a surprise this season, recording 13 points in his last 18 games, including 11 points over his last nine.

Beckett Sennecke added an assist and two shots, while Leo Carlsson was held off the scoresheet.

For Pittsburgh, Kris Letang and Rickard Rakell provided the goals, while Evgeni Malkin picked up two assists. Sidney Crosby also added an assist on Rakell’s goal.

Laurent Brossoit was solid for Anaheim, stopping 32 of 34 shots for a .941 SV%. Arturs Silovs stopped 20 of 24 shots in the loss.

Waiver Wire Targets

Jamie Drysdale (D) – 14% owned

Jamie Drysdale is worth a look as a waiver-wire option, particularly with his increased ice time and offensive involvement this season. The 24-year-old defenceman has eight points (1G, 7A) through 18 games while averaging 23:10 of ice time. He’s also receiving top powerplay duties. For context, Drysdale recorded 32 points in 78 games last season while averaging 21:33 per game. He’s currently on pace for a 40-point campaign, and the increased workload and power-play usage could provide some upside. His shot volume remains modest, with just 22 shots this season, but should be an interesting option in deeper leagues.

Joonas Korpisalo (G) – 10% owned

Joonas Korpisalo may be worth a look as a waiver-wire option, particularly with the Rangers playing three games on lighter nights this week. Korpisalo made his NYR debut Saturday in Seattle after posting a 14-9-6 record with a 3.15 GAA and .894 SV% as Boston’s backup last season. I expect Korpisalo and Garand to share the workload, but the Rangers’ goaltending situation is worth monitoring, with the two currently serving as the only options in the crease. Given that, Korpisalo could be a decent speculative add if you’re looking for help in goal, especially with Monday, Wednesday and Friday schedule for the Rangers.

Adam Edstrom (C,LW) – 30% owned

If you’re looking for some solid category coverage, Adam Edstrom is worth a look this week. Despite playing on the third line, he continues to find the scoresheet while delivering plenty of hits. Through 15 games, Edstrom has seven points (6G, 1A), 26 shots on goal and 78 hits. His point production isn’t particularly impressive, but his hit totals are approaching a 385-hit pace over 84 games. The physical production provides a nice fantasy floor, especially in leagues that reward peripheral stats.

Kent Johnson (LW/RW) – 25% owned

Kent Johnson is finally showing signs of reaching his breakout potential. Through 15 games, he has 16 points (8G, 8A), including four power-play points, and is riding a seven-game point streak (4G, 7A). The biggest development is his move into a top-line role and onto Columbus’ first power-play unit, where he’s receiving nearly 70% of the team’s power-play share. After managing just 18 points in 67 games last season, Johnson is showing plenty of bounce-back potential. His shooting percentage suggests some regression is possible, but the increased deployment and power-play usage make him a worthwhile waiver-wire add.
