2019-20 NHL SEASON OPENS with DOUBLEHEADER in U.S. and CANADA the 102Nd Opening Night in League History Features a National Doubleheader in Both the U.S 2019-20 NHL SEASON OPENS WITH DOUBLEHEADER IN U.S. AND CANADA The 102nd opening night in League history features a national doubleheader in both the U.S. and Canada as eight teams drop the puck on the 2019-20 NHL season Wednesday: * 2019-20 Season Preview * NHL Season Openers Facts * 2019-20 Season-Opening Information BLUES TO RAISE BANNER, BEGIN DEFENSE OF STANLEY CUP For the first time in the franchise’s 52-season history, the Blues will open a campaign as defending Stanley Cup champions when they host the Capitals on a banner-raising night at Enterprise Center. * On the ice, St. Louis will look almost identical to the team that captured Lord Stanley’s Cup in June as 18 of the 20 players who dressed for the Cup-clinching Game 7 remain with the club. Defenseman Joel Edmundson (CAR) and forward Patrick Maroon (TBL) are the only players who appeared in the deciding contest that are no longer with the team. * Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin has 10-7—17 in 14 career season-opening games, registering at least one point in nine of those 14 games – including six with at least one goal. Ovechkin, who sits 42 goals shy of 700 in his career, has one season-opening hat trick to his credit (Oct. 5, 2017 at OTT). TORONTO, OTTAWA SET TO CLASH IN LATEST ‘BATTLE OF ONTARIO’ The first game of the 2019-20 NHL season features the Maple Leafs welcoming the Senators to Scotiabank Arena, marking the 121st all-time regular-season meeting between the franchises and sixth in each club’s season opener. * Ottawa owns a 5-0-0 record in its five previous mutual season-opening games vs. Toronto, including four decided by a one-goal margin (with three requiring overtime). The Senators are one of two teams in NHL history without a loss of any kind in mutual season-opening games against a single opponent (min. 5 GP; also PIT: 6-0-0 vs. WSH). * Maple Leafs forward Auston Matthews has scored at least one goal in all three season- opening games of his career (7-2—9), including a historic four-goal NHL debut in Ottawa on Oct. 12, 2016. His seven career goals in season-opening games are three shy of the most among active players – despite large differences in games played – and tied for third-most in season-opening games in Toronto franchise history (Babe Dye: 9 G in 5 GP; Darryl Sittler: 8 G in 12 GP; Charlie Conacher: 7 G in 8 GP; and Mats Sundin: 7 G in 13 GP). CANUCKS, PETTERSSON AND MCDAVID EYE ANOTHER STRONG START The Canucks visit Rogers Place to take on the Oilers as each club vies for a playoff return in 2019-20. Vancouver is 5-0-0 in its last five season-opening games dating to 2014-15, tied with Tampa Bay for the longest active such run in the NHL. * Two-time Art Ross Trophy winner Connor McDavid (41-76—116 in 78 GP) and reigning Calder Trophy winner Elias Pettersson (28-38—66 in 71 GP) each led their club in scoring last season and aim to continue their success into 2019-20. * Pettersson led NHL rookies in goals, assists and points in 2018-19 (28-38—66 in 71 GP) – including multiple points in each of his first two NHL games – and now can become the fourth player in franchise history to record at least 75 points before age 21. * Eyeing his fourth consecutive 100-point campaign, McDavid aims to post his fourth straight season-opening contest with multiple points (5-3—8 in 3 GP). In 2018-19, McDavid became the first player in NHL history to record a point on nine consecutive team goals to begin a season. SHARKS, GOLDEN KNIGHTS SET TO RENEW RIVALRY On the heels of their seven-game First Round series in the 2019 Stanley Cup Playoffs, the Sharks and Golden Knights open 2019-20 in a home-and-home set. The contest is expected to feature Marc-Andre Fleury, who shares the active lead with nine career wins in season- opening games, and Joe Thornton, who enters his 22nd season chasing a number of milestones. * Vegas will become the fourth team in NHL history to contest nine or more consecutive regular- season/playoff games against one opponent. The other instances were Colorado vs. Minnesota (7 in 2014 Playoffs, 2 in 2014-15), Ottawa vs. Toronto (7 in 2004 Playoffs, 2 in 2005-06) and Toronto vs. Detroit (3 in 1942-43, 6 in 1943 Playoffs). * Vegas begins its first full season with Mark Stone, Max Pacioretty and Paul Stastny, all additions since the end of their inaugural campaign. Vegas is 10-3-0 in 13 regular-season games with all three players in the lineup, with the trio combining for 14-19—33 – two points more than they had in seven playoff games together last spring (13-18—31). FIRST CROP OF NEW HEAD COACHES SET TO DEBUT Two of the seven new head coaches will make their regular season debut tonight: * D.J. Smith (OTT) will make his NHL head-coaching debut tonight at Scotiabank Arena, where he spent the last four seasons as an assistant coach with Toronto. Smith aims to become the first to win his NHL head-coaching debut with the franchise and just the sixth to win his first game as Senators head coach – Rick Bowness (1992-93), Roger Neilson (2001-02), Bryan Murray (2005-06), John Paddock (2007-08) and Guy Boucher (2016-17) all did so. Neilson served as Senators head coach for two games from April 11-13, 2002 (1-1-0) to hit the 1,000- game mark in his career. * Dave Tippett (EDM) is 8-4-2 in 14 career season-opening games. He can become the eighth head coach in franchise history to win his team debut – and sixth to do so in a season-opening game (John Muckler in 1989-90; George Burnett in 1994-95; Craig MacTavish in 2000-01; Tom Renney in 2010-11; and Ralph Krueger in 2012-13). QUICK CLICKS * NHL expands video review, coach's challenge for new season * Approved rule changes for the 2019-20 NHL season * Additional clarification on new rules for 2019-20 * NHL extends exclusive paint partnership with PPG * Evander Kane suspended three games for actions in Sharks game .

  • Flying Wasn't Fun, and for a Number of Years It Fit Right in with Everything
    F IFTY IS A BIG NUMBER Flying wasn’t fun, and for a number of years it fit right in with everything else around the team. We just weren’t enjoying the game. For all three of those years that I hit the 50 mark, it was almost like if our line didn’t score we had no chance of winning the game. Billy and Danny Daoust and Tom Fergus, the three centres I played with over those years—I had great chemistry with all of them. But a lot of nights it felt like we were on our own. And I hated losing more than I liked winning. That’s the way I was as a kid; I didn’t like losing at anything. To put those seasons in historical perspective, a number of Leafs had gotten close to 50 in years past: Frank Mahovlich had his 48 goals, and then Lanny McDonald had seasons with 46, 47 and 43; Darryl had 45 one year. And then Gary Leeman scored 51 during the 1989–90 season. Dave Andreychuk became the third Leaf to do it, in 1992–93, although there’s an asterisk of sorts next to that one because he scored 29 of the goals with Buffalo, and then 25 with the Leafs over 83 games. The next season, he scored 53, all of them with the Leafs. So, just the three of us. So far. John Tavares, the current Leafs captain, had 47 in Toronto in 2018–19, and Auston Matthews had 47 and counting in 70 games, on pace for 55, when the 2019–20 season was paused by the 97 Vaiv_9780735280298_all_5p_r1.indd 97 2020-09-09 2:00 PM CATCH 22 COVID-19 virus.

  • FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE JUNE 10, 2021 Mackinnon, MATTHEWS and Mcdavid VOTED HART TROPHY FINALISTS NEW YORK
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE JUNE 10, 2021 MacKINNON, MATTHEWS AND McDAVID VOTED HART TROPHY FINALISTS NEW YORK (June 10, 2021) – Colorado Avalanche center Nathan MacKinnon, Toronto Maple Leafs center Auston Matthews and Edmonton Oilers center Connor McDavid are the three finalists for the 2020-21 Hart Memorial Trophy, awarded “to the player adjudged to be the most valuable to his team,” the National Hockey League announced today. Members of the Professional Hockey Writers Association submitted ballots for the Hart Trophy at the conclusion of the regular season, with the top three vote-getters designated as finalists. The winners of the 2021 NHL Awards presented by Bridgestone will be revealed during the Stanley Cup Semifinals and Stanley Cup Final, with exact dates, format and times to be announced. Following are the finalists for the Hart Trophy, in alphabetical order: Nathan MacKinnon, C, Colorado Avalanche MacKinnon placed fourth in the NHL with a career-high 1.35 points per game (20-45—65 in 48 GP) to propel the Avalanche’s top-ranked offense to the franchise’s third Presidents’ Trophy (also 1996-97 and 2000-01).
