If we’re being honest, the Habs probably didn’t deserve to emerge from Tuesday’s game with a point, but a pair of goals from Kirby Dach, not to mention more stellar play by rookie Ivan Demidov, pushed the game to overtime. [Canadiens Highlights: Dach Scores Twice To Salvage A Point]
I have nothing but respect for Mike Kelly, but it’s always entertaining to see Nick Suzuki get his well-deserved credit outside the local market. That being said, Kelly has always held Suzuki in high esteem, unlike a few other analysts that refuse to update their outdated views of the Canadiens captain.

This play was lost in the fray, but Suzuki not only won a crucial faceoff in overtime versus the Flyers, he was forced to make a big block in the dying seconds of the game to preserve the tie.

Suzuki also managed to extend his scoring streak to an impressive 12 games. He now has three goals and 16 assists in 13 games this season, and he’s yet to really find his rhythm in the goal scoring department.
What a play by the #GoHabsGo on the powerplay!

Winning the Calder Trophy is far from a lock, but Demidov sure is building a strong case. His goal on Tuesday pushed his season totals to four goals and eight assists in 13 games, reclaiming the rookie scoring lead in the process.

Even though I don’t necessarily agree with the logic in play, it must be said that head coach Martin St-Louis has definitely gone to bat for Samuel Montembeault, and that’s always appreciated in the locker room.

The San Jose Sharks have some new attractions, and not just on the ice. Last week, the Sharks hosted local media for a tasting event of some of SAP Center’s new concession offerings. Chef Jean Swailes attended, representing San Jose Hockey Now, and she was kind of enough to write about some of her favourite SAP Center foods, and what worked and didn’t about the event.

Arseny Gritsyuk has been a revelation for the New Jersey Devils. The anticipated Russian forward crossed the pond this summer, inking a one-year, entry-level contract with the team who drafted him in the fifth round of the 2019 NHL Draft. [New Jersey Devils]
