Nhl Morning Skate – Dec NHL MORNING SKATE – DEC. 19, 2018 TUESDAY’S RESULTS Home Team in Caps Florida 5, BUFFALO 2 Toronto 7, NEW JERSEY 2 NY RANGERS 3, Anaheim 1 PHILADELPHIA 3, Detroit 2 San Jose 4, MINNESOTA 0 CHICAGO 2, Nashville 1 DALLAS 2, Calgary 0 St. Louis 4, EDMONTON 1 NY Islanders 3, ARIZONA 1 Tampa Bay 5, VANCOUVER 2 LOS ANGELES 4, Winnipeg 1 HART BECOMES YOUNGEST GOALIE TO WIN FIRST NHL START SINCE PRICE Carter Hart (20 years, 127 days) made 20 saves to become the youngest goaltender in Flyers franchise history to win his NHL debut and the youngest NHL netminder to win his first start since Carey Price. It also marked the first victory behind the Flyers bench for interim head coach Scott Gordon. * Only one other goaltender in franchise history has played a game before age 21: Maxime Ouellet made his League debut in relief on Oct. 7, 2000 (19 years, 112 days), and made his first NHL start five days later on Oct. 12 against the Stars (19 years, 117 days). * Did You Know? Jean-Marc Pelletier made his first NHL start on his 21st birthday, March 4, 1999 against Ottawa. He was the second-youngest goaltender to play a game for the Flyers, prior to Hart. * Hart became the fifth-youngest goaltender since 1996-97 to win his first NHL start, and the youngest to do so since Price on Oct. 10, 2007 at age 20 years, 55 days. * The youngest goaltender in NHL history to win his first NHL start was John Vanbiesbrouck at age 18 years, 92 days on on Dec. 5, 1981 with the Rangers. Tom Barrasso (18 years, 188 days on Oct. 5, 1983 w/ BUF) is the only other goaltender to do so before age 19. SHARKS, STARS EARN SHUTOUT VICTORIES TO EXTEND STREAKS TO FIVE GAMES * Joe Pavelski netted his team-leading 21st goal of the season and Martin Jones (26 saves) posted his 20th career shutout as the Sharks extended their winning streak to five contests, matching the idle Capitals for the League’s longest active run. Last season, San Jose strung together eight consecutive victories from March 12-26, three shy of the club record set in 2007- 08. * Pavelski, who has scored at least 20 goals in each of his last six seasons, sits one marker shy of matching his total from all of 2017-18 (22 in 82 GP). The Sharks captain has reached the 30- goal mark only four times in his career: 2015-16 (38), 2014-15 (37), 2013-14 (41) and 2011-12 (31). * Jamie Benn scored his team-leading 14th goal of the season and Ben Bishop (21 saves) and Anton Khudobin (3 saves) combined to shut down the League’s third-highest scoring team (tied) as the Stars defeated the Flames for their fifth straight home win. Benn scored his 42nd career game-winning goal (first this season), one back of tying Brenden Morrow (43) for second place in Stars/North Stars franchise history behind Mike Modano (92). * It marked the first combined shutout in Stars/North Stars franchise history and the first in the NHL since March 30, 2018 when Semyon Varlamov and Jonathan Bernier teamed up for the first tandem shutout in Avalanche/Nordiques franchise history. Only two active franchises remain without such a clean sheet: Buffalo and Vegas. KUCHEROV REACHES 50-POINT MARK, STAMKOS TIES ST. LOUIS IN WIN Nikita Kucherov (1-1—2) reached the 50-point mark and Steven Stamkos moved up the all- time franchise goals list as the League-leading Lightning (26-7-2, 54 points) extended their point streak to 10 contests (9-0-1 dating to Nov. 29). * Tampa Bay has recorded at least one point in 10 consecutive games for the second time in as many seasons following a 9-0-1 run from Feb. 20 - March 10, 2018. The only longer point streaks in franchise history came in 2003-04 (14-0-4 in 18 GP), 2002-03 (7-0-6 in 13 GP) and 2013-14 (7-0-4 in 11 GP). * Skating in his 400th NHL contest, Kucherov (15-35—50 in 35 GP) joined Avalanche teammates Mikko Rantanen (15-41—56 in 34 GP) and Nathan MacKinnon (21-32—53 in 34 GP) as the third player to reach the 50-point mark this season. Kucherov was the first player to 50 points in 2017-18, hitting the mark in the 34th game of the season on Dec. 21 (en route to his first 100-point season). There has been only one other instance in franchise history of a player reaching the benchmark in 35 or fewer games: Vincent Lecavalier (33 GP in 2007-08). * Stamkos (699 GP), who is expected to skate in his 700th NHL game Thursday at Calgary, scored his 365th career goal to tie Martin St. Louis (972 GP) for second place on the Lightning’s all-time goals list and trails just Vincent Lecavalier (383 G in 1,037 GP). RARE FEATS ACHIEVED FOR RANGERS, PANTHERS AND SABRES * Rangers forward Kevin Hayes netted the go-ahead goal with 40 seconds remaining in regulation to extend his point streak to five contests and help the Rangers snap a three-game skid. Hayes, who collected the sixth shorthanded goal of his career, became the eighth NHL player to tally a shorthanded, go-ahead goal in the final minute of regulation and first since Blake Wheeler on April 8, 2017. * Aleksander Barkov (1-1—2) scored the tying goal 58 seconds into the third period Evgenii Dadonov (2-1—3) collected three points, all in the final frame, to propel the Panthers to their second win in as many contests. Dadonov improved to 2-for-2 on career penalty shot attempts, becoming the fifth player in franchise history to convert on multiple attempts. Only five active NHL players have three or more penalty-shot goals: Brad Marchand (4-for-6) leads, followed by Ilya Kovalchuk (3-for-4), Dustin Brown (3-for-7), Patrick Marleau (3-for-7) and Eric Staal (3-for-8). * Sam Reinhart (0-2—2) extended his career-high point streak to 11 contests with an assist on Jeff Skinner’s 25th goal of 2018-19. Skinner, meanwhile, scored for the fifth time in as many contests to eclipse his goal total from all of 2017-18 (24 in 82 GP) and become the fifth player in franchise history to hit 25 goals within the team’s first 35 games of the season. QUICK CLICKS * Winter Classic at Notre Dame thrills Emrick, NBC broadcast crew * Willie O'Ree meets Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau * Matt Duchene joins James Barker Band onstage at postgame concert * Alex Ovechkin more relaxed after winning Stanley Cup, excelling for Capitals * Seattle's 'only hockey bar' serving up excitement for NHL expansion team SNEAK PEEK AT WEDNESDAY’S ACTION OVECHKIN SETS SIGHTS ON ANOTHER 30-GOAL CAMPAIGN After splitting their first two contests of 2018-19, Alex Ovechkin and the Capitals welcome Sidney Crosby and the Penguins to Capital One Arena. Ovechkin (29-14—43 in 32 GP) sits one tally shy of his 14th consecutive 30-goal season as he goes head-to-head against Crosby for the 48th time in the regular season (Crosby 21-45—66 in 47 GP; Ovechkin: 30-20—50 in 47 GP; PIT: 28-17-2; WSH: 19-21-7). * Ovechkin, who has been the first NHL player to reach the 30-goal mark four times in his career, can join Mike Gartner (15) as the only players in NHL history to score 30 or more goals in each of his first 14 campaigns. In fact, Gartner (17) and Jaromir Jagr (15) are the only players in League history to score 30 or more goals in at least 14 seasons at any point. * Only two players in NHL history have been the first to 30 goals in a season at age 33 or older: 34-year-old Bill Cook in 1930-31 and 36-year-old Teemu Selanne in 2006-07. The only player in League history who has been the first to 30 goals in consecutive seasons after celebrating his 30th birthday: Phil Esposito in 1973-74 (age 31) and 1974-75 (age 32). .

  • Vision Training for Goaltenders It's Hard to Imagine Any NHL Goalie
    Vision training for Goaltenders It's hard to imagine any NHL goalie getting ready to play or practice without a series of dynamic stretches and movements designed to warm up the key muscles required to stop pucks. For many goalies, though, the most important muscles are in their head. "Your biggest muscle as a goalie is your eyes," Washington Capitals goalie Braden Holtby said. "I do a lot of visual training in my pregame routine to warm up my eyes and keep them sharp. If you're not seeing it, nothing else matters. Your eyes are the basis of your whole game." Whether it's bouncing balls off a wall or standing at the bench hours before the game with his eyes darting around an empty arena, warming up the eyes is a big part of Holtby's well-documented pregame routine. He's hardly the only one. Spend enough time in the bowels of NHL arenas before a game and you will see goalies juggling as often as stretching. "I use it as a warmup for my eyes just to get my focus and concentration going, watching the ball spin, watching it into my hand," said Richard Bachman, who has seen time with the Vancouver Canucks this season in addition to playing in the American Hockey League. "I try to incorporate the vision and tracking that I use on the ice with a tennis ball." Increasingly, that focus on being able to better focus the eyes is extending beyond warmups as more NHL goalies, coaches and even teams add vision training to their offseason.

  • BOSTON BRUINS OFFSEASON QUOTES GENERAL MANAGER DON SWEENEY and HEAD COACH BRUCE CASSIDY Thursday, April 27, 2017
    BOSTON BRUINS OFFSEASON QUOTES GENERAL MANAGER DON SWEENEY AND HEAD COACH BRUCE CASSIDY Thursday, April 27, 2017 BOSTON BRUINS GENERAL MANAGER DON SWEENEY AND HEAD COACH BRUCE CASSIDY END-OF-SEASON PRESS CONFERENCE Opening statement from Don Sweeney… DS: First off, I want to thank everybody for joining us today. The Bruins are very excited to be naming Bruce Cassidy the 28th head coach of the Boston Bruins. Despite the season abruptly ending on Sunday, I felt very comfortable moving forward quickly to name Bruce the head coach. I think that, to tell you the truth, I think Bruce summarized it very well the other morning. When we sat down and finalized it, when I said congrats, he said, ‘that’s good, because that was a long, hard interview.’ I think that the way our team responded to his message – we had an aggressive bent to our game. We scored more goals, we didn’t lose defensive structure and our foundation, our penalty kill remained to be top in the league, and our power play got better as the season went along. To me, it spoke to the change that our team responded to, that our core players responded to, and our young players responded to. I felt very comfortable moving forward that I felt Bruce would do a great job. Overall, I think our staff did a very good job. We have a lot of work to do as an organization, still. We want to become a deeper, more talented team from top to bottom. Taking one step forward, in my opinion, is not successful.

An Evaluation Of Draft trS ategy In The aN tional Hockey League Namita Nandakumar University of Pennsylvania Follow this and additional works at: http://repository.upenn.edu/joseph_wharton_scholars Part of the Business Commons Recommended Citation Nandakumar, N. (2017). "What Does It Mean To Draft eP rfectly? An Evaluation Of Draft trS ategy In The aN tional Hockey League," Joseph Wharton Research Scholars. Available at http://repository.upenn.edu/joseph_wharton_scholars/26 This paper is posted at ScholarlyCommons. http://repository.upenn.edu/joseph_wharton_scholars/26 For more information, please contact [email protected]. What Does It Mean To Draft eP rfectly? An Evaluation Of Draft trS ategy In The aN tional Hockey League Abstract We define what it means for an National Hockey League (NHL) team to have been successful in drafting, and use this retrospective framework to determine if any teams exhibited a sustained edge in drafting from 2000 to 2009. At a high level, we compare actual draft outcomes to teams’ perfect draft outcomes. The perfect draft can be thought of as what would happen if a general manager (GM) could redo a draft with complete knowledge of prospects’ career values as well as other teams’ choices. A prospect’s career value is defined here as aggregate Point Shares (from hockey-reference.com ) through the 2015-16 NHL season, though any valuation metric can be used. When drafting perfectly, a GM picks the best player available as is commonly prescribed, but they start with their last pick and work backwards.

He now leads the League with 20-49—69 at the midpoint of Tampa Bay’s season, marking the 53rd instance in NHL history of a player accumulating at least 69 points through 41 team games.
