SENATORS, BLACKHAWKS STAY HOT WITH SHUTOUT WINS

The Ottawa Senators and Chicago Blackhawks continued hot streaks with shutout wins on Thursday:
* In his debut with the Senators (and first start since April 9), Mike Condon turned aside all 27 shots he faced to help his new club to its third straight win. Elias notes that Condon, who was acquired from the Pittsburgh Penguins on Wednesday, became the third Senators goaltender to record a shutout in his team debut (also Patrick Lalime: Oct. 2, 1999 at PHI and Craig Anderson: Feb. 19, 2011 at TOR).
* Corey Crawford(38 saves) had his second shutout in his past three games (also Oct. 30 vs. Los Angeles) to help the Blackhawks extend their point streak to six games (5-0-1), including four straight wins. Playing in his 500th NHL game, Artem Anisimov (0-1-1) extended his career-high point streak to nine games and took sole possession of the League scoring lead (7-7-14).

NEW YORK CITY COMEBACKS

The New York Rangers and Philadelphia Flyers each rallied for wins in New York City:
* Facing their former goaltender Cam Talbot for the first time, the Rangers overcame three one-goal deficits before Rick Nash scored the go-ahead goal with 1:21 remaining in regulation to power New York past the Edmonton Oilers. The Rangers are 6-1-0 in their past seven games. Per Elias, the Rangers overcame three separate one-goal deficits and won in regulation for the first time since Dec. 9, 2010, at Ottawa (5-3).
* In Brooklyn, Matt Read evened the score with 57.1 seconds remaining in regulation and Claude Giroux sealed the victory against the New York Islanders with a dazzling shootout goal to help the Flyers to their second straight comeback win. Philadelphia also tied the game late in regulation on Wednesday vs. the Detroit Red Wings and have overcome deficits in five of their six victories this season.

YOUTH POWERS CLUBS TO VICTORY

\RookieMitch Marner (2-0-2) recorded the first multigoal game of his NHL career to help the Toronto Maple Leafs earn their first regulation win in Buffalo since Feb. 16, 2011 (1-6-4 since). Toronto's rookies have combined for nearly half of the team's goals this season (14 of 31; 45.2%).
\ Matthew Tkachuk (2-0-2) also had his first NHL multigoal game to spark the Calgary Flames to their third win in their last four road contests. Elias says Tkachuk became the second 18-year-old in franchise history to score multiple goals in a game, joining Dan Quinn,who did it three times in 1983-84.
* The Florida Panthers surrendered a 3-1 lead in the third period, but Vincent Trocheck (2-0-2) scored with 43.4 seconds left in overtime to defeat the New Jersey Devils. Trocheck, who played for Team North America at the World Cup of Hockey 2016, scored his first career overtime goal (157 GP).
*Forward Anthony Duclair, 21, scored the tying goal in the third period and the deciding goal in the shootout to guide the Arizona Coyotes to their third win in four games. Rookie Christian Dvorak, 20, scored Arizona's first goal, the first of his NHL career (8 GP).
