The Philadelphia Flyers announced his death on social media over the weekend

Five goals and eight points in a single week earned Winnipeg's Kyle Connor a selection as one of the NHL's three stars.

Sebastian Aho and Brent Burns each had a goal and an assist, Pyotr Kochetkov stopped 23 shots for his fifth career shutout and the Carolina Hurricanes beat the Tampa Bay Lightning 4-0 on Saturday night. Teuvo Teravainen and Stefan Noesen also scored as Carolina won for the sixth time in eight games. “We played the way we wanted to,” said defenseman Brady Skjei, who assisted on Burns’ goal.

Nikita Kucherov, the No. 2 scorer in the NHL entering Saturday action, was a late scratch for the Tampa Bay Lightning’s game against the Carolina Hurricanes because of illness. Kucherov, whose 23 points are one behind NHL scoring leader Elias Pettersson of the Vancouver Canucks, has five goals and 12 points in his past four games.

The Dallas Stars scored three times in the second period to hand the Winnipeg Jets a 3-2 loss on Saturday afternoon.

Michael Simpson made 28 saves for his first shutout as a Knight in a 4-0 victory over the Guelph Storm on Remembrance Day.

Alex Ovechkin scored twice and Hunter Shepard got his second career NHL victory and the Washington Capitals beat the New York Islanders 4-1 Saturday night. Nic Dowd and Aliaksei Protas also scored as the Capitals won for the third time in four games. The 28-year-old Shepard finished with 36 saves in his second NHL start.

This was the most impressive the Canadiens have been in a long time. The list of overachieving players is long.

Noah Gregor scored the winner and added an assist, William Nylander extended his franchise record for points to start a season to 15 games with a goal of his own and the Toronto Maple Leafs defeated the Vancouver Canucks 5-2 on Saturday.

Coming up on the one-year anniversary of his last NHL win, Philadelphia Flyers goalie Cal Petersen was surprisingly called on to start with Carter Hart still unavailable because of illness. Going against his former team in the arena where it seemed he would be the the netminder of the future, Petersen got another taste of victory under memorable circumstances. Petersen made 35 saves, Morgan Frost scored twice, and the Flyers beat the Los Angeles Kings 4-2 on Saturday night.
