* Marc-Andre Fleury re-wrote another NHL history book, this time by climbing the all-time shootout wins list.

* Artemi Panarin celebrated his 31st birthday with another three-point outing, improving to 5-11-16 so far this season - totals that sit just two points back of the most by a Rangers player through the club's first 10 games of a season.
* A three-game slate is set for Halloween and to get the hockey world into the spirit, #NHLStats has compiled a bag full of the top tricks and treats that have taken place on Oct. 31.

FLEURY CLIMBS NHL ALL-TIME LIST, BOLDY BANKS TWO

Marc-Andre Fleury made 23 saves, including two of two in the shootout, to surpass Henrik Lundqvist (61) for the
most shootout wins in NHL history
, while Dean Evason recorded his 100th win as head coach - a victory powered by Matt Boldy's fourth career multi-goal outing
* Evason, who was behind the bench for his 159th game as head coach, required the fifth-fewest contests in NHL history to record his 100th career win, trailing Tom Johnson (138), Mike Keenan (152), Todd McLellan (158) and Terry Crisp (158).
* Boldy improved his 2022-23 stat line to 5-3-8 (9 GP) - a goal total which trails only Kirill Kaprizov (6) for the most among Wild players - and reached the 20-tally mark of his NHL career (20-27-47 in 56 GP). Boldy (21 years, 208 days) became the second-youngest player to record 20 career goals with Minnesota, behind only Marian Gaborik (19 years, 244 days).

PANARIN, BRATT CONTINUE HOT STARTS TO 2022-23

Artemi Panarin (1-2-3) and Jesper Bratt (1-1-2) each posted multi-point outings as the pair continued their scorching hot start to the 2022-23 campaign.
* Panarin recorded his third three-point game, which trails only Connor McDavid (4) for the most among all players this season, to boost his 2022-23 totals to 5-11-16. He is now one of just 10 different players in franchise history to record 16-plus points through the club's first 10 contests of a season. In the past 30 years, only Jaromir Jagr (3-15-18 in 2006-07), Pavel Bure (11-7-18 in 2001-02) and Mark Messier (5-13-18 in 1992-93) have done so.
* Bratt extended his point streak to nine contests overall

(4-11-15 in 9 GP) - he became the third Devils player to do so in the past decade, following Pavel Zacha (10 GP from Jan. 30 - Feb. 28, 2021) and Taylor Hall (19 GP from Jan. 30 - March 6, 2018, 9 GP from Oct. 11 - Nov. 1, 2018 & March 18 - April 3, 2018). With points in each of the first six games at Prudential Center, Bratt tied Patrik Elias (6 GP in 2001-02) for the second-longest season-opening home point streak by a Devils player in the past 30 years, behind only Kyle Palmieri (8 GP in 2018-19).
