The weekend saw explosive action and milestone moments that kept fans on the edge of their seats. Here’s how it all went down and what to look forward to this week in the NHL.

Weekend Highlights

Jets Rally to Victory The Winnipeg Jets showcased their resilience, coming back from a 2-0 deficit to claim their 11th win of the season. This marked their second multi-goal comeback in the 2024-25 season, joining the ranks of the Blues, Predators, and Golden Knights as teams that have pulled off similar feats.

Ehlers’ Record-Breaking Night Nikolaj Ehlers etched his name in the record books, surpassing Frans Nielsen to become the highest-scoring Danish-born player in NHL history with 474 points. Kyle Connor kept his hot streak alive, extending his season-opening point streak to 12 games — a feat only matched by Patrik Laine in Jets/Thrashers history.

Standings & Streaks

Carolina Hurricanes’ Winning Surge The Hurricanes are on a roll, securing their sixth consecutive win, the longest active streak in the league. Martin Necas has been vital to their run, posting the second-highest points-per-game rate (1.80), just behind Kirill Kaprizov. The team’s 8-2-0 record marks their second-best start through 10 games in franchise history, solidifying them as serious contenders in the East.

Notable Performances

Draisaitl and Bedard Shine Leon Draisaitl and rookie Connor Bedard delivered dazzling three-point nights, leading their teams to key road victories. Draisaitl’s goal just 20 seconds into the game set the tone for Edmonton’s win over Calgary, while Bedard’s standout performance made him the first Blackhawks player this season to hit the 10-point mark. His sixth career three-point game placed him ahead of Blackhawks legends Jonathan Toews and Jeremy Roenick for the second-most by a teenager in franchise history.

Prime Time Matchups

Monday Night Spotlight All eyes are on tonight’s clash between the Devils, led by Nico Hischier, and the Oilers with Draisaitl at the helm. Hischier comes in as October’s joint top goal-scorer, while Draisaitl continues to drive the Oilers’ offense in McDavid’s absence.

Must-Watch Games This Week

  • Wednesday, Nov. 6: Patrick Kane takes on his former team as the Red Wings host the Blackhawks. Vegas meets Edmonton for a crucial Western Conference matchup.
  • Thursday, Nov. 7: The Avalanche face the Jets in a high-stakes Central Division showdown.
  • Friday, Nov. 8: Crosby and Ovechkin clash for their 70th regular-season matchup.
  • Saturday, Nov. 9: Hockey Night in Canada features a doubleheader with the Canadiens taking on the Maple Leafs, followed by an Oilers-Canucks showdown.

Stat Leaders and Milestones

Impressive Numbers So Far

  • Martin Necas: 18 points in 10 games (6 goals, 12 assists).
  • Kyle Connor: 19 points in 12 games (9 goals, 10 assists).

Milestone Achievements

  • Artemi Panarin notched his 221st multi-point game, tying Sidney Crosby for the fifth-most since 2015-16.
  • Jeremy Swayman recorded back-to-back shutouts for Boston, a rare feat in the team’s storied history.
