Nhl Morning Skate – March 2, 2020 NHL MORNING SKATE – MARCH 2, 2020 THREE HARD LAPS * It’s never just one all-time list that Alex Ovechkin climbs! The NHL’s newest member of the 700-goal club ascended multiple on Sunday to move within six of passing yet another Hockey Hall of Fame member. * The Flyers raced to a 4-0 lead in the opening 21:23 en route to a sixth straight win, continuing their surge up the Metropolitan Division standings. * Zach Werenski became the first defenseman to reach the 20-goal mark this season as the Blue Jackets proved once again that no lead is safe in the NHL. OVECHKIN MOVES WITHIN SIX OF PASSING GARTNER ON ALL-TIME GOALS LIST Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin (703-571—1,274 in 1,148 GP) tallied twice in the first period to move within six regular-season goals of passing longtime Washington forward Mike Gartner (708) for sole possession of seventh place on the NHL’s all-time list. Gartner is the next Hall of Famer for Ovechkin to pass; he has already leapfrogged five this season (Luc Robitaille, Teemu Selanne, Mario Lemieux, Steve Yzerman and Mark Messier), including four from Jan. 13-31. * Ovechkin has now scored 356 career regular-season goals on the road (356-261—617 in 573 GP) and moved ahead of Jaromir Jagr (355) for sole possession of the third-most in League history, trailing only Wayne Gretzky (402) and Yzerman (362). * Ovechkin has scored 50.6% of his career regular-season goals on the road (356 of 703). That’s the highest such percentage among the NHL’s eight members of the 700-goal club, three percentage points more than the next-closest player. * Road goals wasn’t the only all-time list Ovechkin climbed on Sunday. He also recorded his 144th career multi-goal game in the regular season to pass Phil Esposito (143) for sole possession of fifth place in NHL history. * Ovechkin boosted his 2019-20 goal total to 45 (45-18—63 in 64 GP) and matched Maple Leafs forward Auston Matthews (45-32—77 in 66 GP) for second place in the Maurice “Rocket” Richard Trophy race, which is led by Bruins forward David Pastrnak (47-44—91 in 66 GP). * The Metropolitan Division-leading Capitals improved to 40-19-6 (86 points) this season and maintained a three-point edge over the second-place Flyers (38-20-7, 83 points), who also secured a win Sunday (as outlined below). OTHER METROPOLITAN DIVISION CLUBS PURSUING PLAYOFF BERTHS PICK UP WINS The Flyers (38-20-7, 83 points) and Blue Jackets (32-21-14, 78 points) also picked up wins as they both pursue a berth in the 2020 Stanley Cup Playoffs: * Travis Konecny (1-1—2), Derek Grant (1-1—2), Jakub Voracek (0-2—2) and Travis Sanheim (0-2—2) posted two points apiece to help Philadelphia extend its win streak to a season-high six games. The Flyers held the final Wild Card spot in the Eastern Conference standings on the morning of Feb. 18 when their win streak began (32-20-7, 71 points) and have leapfrogged three Metropolitan Division teams since then (Columbus, NY Islanders and Pittsburgh). * Konecny, who turns 23 on March 11, boosted his career-high point total to 60 (23-37—60 in 62 GP) – tops among Flyers players in 2019-20. He became the third Philadelphia player over the last 21 years (since 1998-99) to reach the 60-point mark in a season at age 22 or younger, joining Simon Gagne in 2001-02 (33-33—66 in 79 GP) and Mike Richards in 2007-08 (22- 39—61 in 55 GP). * Another catalyst for Flyers’ surge up the standings has been Carter Hart (23 saves), who improved to 7-1-0 in eight appearances since returning to the lineup on Feb. 10 (2.14 GAA, .923 SV%) – accounting for five of Philadelphia’s six straight wins. * Columbus, meanwhile, scored four unanswered goals to overcome a 3-1 third-period deficit and strengthen their grip on the final Wild Card spot in the Eastern Conference standings. Like the Flyers, four Blue Jackets skaters collected multiple points: Zach Werenski (1-1—2), Kevin Stenlund (1-1—2), Riley Nash (1-1—2) and Ryan Murray (0-2—2). * Werenski, the franchise’s all-time leader in goals by a defenseman (58-110—168 in 297 GP), tallied the tying marker to become the first blueliner in Blue Jackets history to score 20 in a season (20-20—40 in 60 GP). He also became the first defenseman on any team to reach the 20-goal mark in 60 games or fewer since San Jose’s Brent Burns in 2016-17 (20-30—50 in 48 GP). * Columbus recorded the 42nd instance in 2019-20 of a team overcoming a multi-goal third- period deficit to win a game. That’s just seven shy of the most through an entire regular season in League history – with 256 games still remaining in 2019-20. MORE HIGHLIGHTS FROM MARCH 1 * Cam Talbot turned aside all 38 shots he faced and Mark Giordano (0-3—3) produced a season-high three points as the Flames (34-26-7, 75 points) blanked the Panthers to leapfrog the Canucks (34-25-6, 74 points) for third place in the Pacific Division standings. Talbot became the third goaltender in franchise history to record a shutout versus Florida, joining Rick Tabaracci on Jan. 6, 1996 (2-0 W) and Jonas Hiller on Jan. 13, 2016 (6-0 W). * Cory Schneider made 34 saves – including 29 across the final two periods – to help the Devils blank the Ducks and extend their point streak to six games (4-0-2). Schneider improved to 2-0-1 in his last three appearances (1.33 GAA, .957 SV%, 1 SO) after going 0-6-1 through his first nine outings in 2019-20 (4.65 GAA, .852 SV%). * Anze Kopitar tallied twice to reach the 20-goal mark for the 11th time in his NHL career (20- 39—59 in 66 GP) and help the Kings snap the Pacific Division-leading Golden Knights’ win streak at eight games. Kopitar became the fourth player in franchise history to record a least 11 seasons with 20-plus goals, joining fellow Los Angeles icons Marcel Dionne, Luc Robitaille and Dave Taylor (all w/ 12). QUICK CLICKS * Leon Draisaitl, Mika Zibanejad and David Pastrnak named NHL ‘Three Stars’ for February * Canucks’ Quinn Hughes named NHL ‘Rookie of the Month’ for February * General managers to evaluate state of game at annual meetings * Facts and Figures: David Pastrnak gets No. 47 for division-leading Bruins * Chad Ruhwedel's 89-year-old grandma watches him at first NHL game PREVIEW OF TODAY’S ACTION .

  • Jets Head Off on the Longest Road Trip of the Season
    Winnipeg Free Press https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/hockey/jets/jets-head-off-on-the-longest-road-trip-of- the-season-475743663.html Jets head off on the longest road trip of the season By: Mike McIntyre RALEIGH, North Carolina - They've hit the road for their longest trip of the season, no doubt feeling pretty good about where their game is at and what the future might hold. Now the goal for the Winnipeg Jets should be to return home 10 days from now in as good a shape as when they left. It won't be easy. Winnipeg will face six teams who are either firmly entrenched in a playoff spot and jockeying for position or fighting just to make the spring dance. Of course, the Jets seem at ease in enemy territory this season, collecting points in 21 of 31 games so far (14-10-7). They are 4-0-1 in their last five road games dating back to mid-January. Up first Sunday night will be the Carolina Hurricanes, who have climbed their way into the final Eastern Conference wildcard spot thanks to a 2-0-1 run which just included back-to-back victories on home ice over Philadelphia and New Jersey. The Hurricanes surrendered just two goals combined in those games and look to be hitting their stride at the right time. Winnipeg is coming off Friday night's 4-3 win over Detroit, which leaves them firmly entrenched in second place in the Central Division at 38-17-9 with 18 games left.
