Nhl Morning Skate – April 7, 2019 Bracket Set for 2019 NHL MORNING SKATE – APRIL 7, 2019 BRACKET SET FOR 2019 STANLEY CUP PLAYOFFS The Central Division title, six of eight First Round matchups and nine of 16 playoff seeds were confirmed on the final day of the 2018-19 regular season which featured 30 of 31 teams in action across 15 games. * NHL fans worldwide can begin to share their predictions in the 2019 Stanley Cup Playoffs Bracket Challenge presented by Jägermeister. Registration now is open at NHL.com/Bracket for fans worldwide to share their predictions and face off against friends, family, colleagues, hockey experts and fellow hockey fans for the chance to win the grand prize of $100,000 USD. * The 2019 Stanley Cup Playoffs First Round schedule will be unveiled live on NHL Network this morning at 10 a.m. ET and simulcast on NHL.com. CENTRAL, METROPOLITAN DIVISION RACES HEADLINE FINAL DAY OF 2018-19 On the third and final 15-game day of 2018-19, the two tightest divisional races this season were resolved to finalize the playoff picture. * Each of the Predators (47-29-6, 100 points), Jets (47-30-5, 99 points) and Blues (45-28-9, 99 points) collected wins Saturday en route to finishing first, second and third in the Central Division, respectively. It was the third season in NHL history to conclude with three teams vying for the same division title on the final day. * Meanwhile, the Islanders (48-27-7, 103 points), Penguins (44-26-12, 100 points), Hurricanes (46-29-7, 99 points) and Blue Jackets (47-31-4, 98 points) each earned at least one point to maintain their positions as seeds 2-5 in the Metropolitan Division. * Three of four matchups in each conference were decided Saturday, rounding out the playoff bracket which already had locked-in series between the Bruins (No. 2 Atlantic) and Maple Leafs (No. 3 Atlantic) in the East and Sharks (No. 2 Pacific) and Golden Knights (No. 3 Pacific) in the West. * The Presidents’ Trophy-winning Lightning will host the Blue Jackets (Wild Card 2) in Game 1 of their first-ever playoff meeting. Tampa Bay has won each of its last six meetings with Columbus dating to Oct. 19, 2017 (CBJ: 0-5-1) - including a sweep of their three-game series in 2018-19 - outscoring them 17-3 in the process. * The Metropolitan Division-champion Capitals will host the Hurricanes (Wild Card 1) in Game 1 of their first-ever playoff meeting. Washington is looking to become only the fourth repeat Stanley Cup champion in the last 30 years, while Carolina is aiming to win its first playoff series in a decade. * The Islanders (No. 2 Metropolitan) will host the Penguins (No. 3 Metropolitan) in Game 1 of their fifth all-time playoff series. New York owns home-ice advantage for the first time in 31 years (1988 DSF vs. NJD) as it looks to avenge a six-game defeat at the hands of Pittsburgh in the 2013 Conference Quarterfinals, their last postseason meeting. * As the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference, the Flames will host the Avalanche (Wild Card 2) in Game 1 of their first-ever playoff meeting. Calgary and Colorado each had a player finish among the top 10 in points in 2018-19, with Johnny Gaudreau (36-63—99) and Nathan MacKinnon (41-58—99) each coming within one point of their first 100-point season. * The Central Division-champion Predators will host the Stars (Wild Card 1) in Game 1 of their first-ever playoff meeting. Dallas boasted two 70-point players in 2018-19, including former Nashville forward Alexander Radulov who matched a career high with 72 points (29-43--72). * The Jets (No. 2 Central) will host the Blues (No. 3 Central) in Game 1 of their first-ever playoff meeting. Both clubs have reached the Western Conference Final in the past three years, with Winnipeg advancing in 2018 (4-1 L vs. VGK) and St. Louis doing so in 2016 (4-2 L vs. SJS). SATURDAY’S RESULTS Home Team in Caps Tampa Bay 6, BOSTON 3 ST. LOUIS 3, Vancouver 2 (SO) MONTREAL 6, Toronto 5 (SO) Columbus 6, OTTAWA 2 Buffalo 7, DETROIT 1 New Jersey 4, FLORIDA 3 (OT) Carolina 4, PHILADELPHIA 3 NY Rangers 4, PITTSBURGH 3 (OT) NY Islanders 3, WASHINGTON 0 NASHVILLE 5, Chicago 2 DALLAS 3, Minnesota 0 Edmonton 3, CALGARY 1 Winnipeg 4, ARIZONA 2 LOS ANGELES 5, Vegas 2 SAN JOSE 5, Colorado 2 LIGHTNING RALLY TO MATCH NHL RECORD FOR MOST WINS IN A SEASON The Lightning scored four consecutive goals to overcome a 2-0 deficit and earn their 62nd win of 2018-19 (62-16-4, 128 points), matching the NHL record for most in a season set by the Red Wings in 1995-96 (62-13-7, 131 points). Tampa Bay’s 128 standings points are the fourth- highest single-season total in NHL history. * The Lightning became the first team in NHL history to record at least 30 home wins (32-7-2, 66 points) and 30 road wins (30-9-2, 62 points) in a season. Their 16 regulation losses are the fewest by a team in an 82-game season since 2009-10, when the Capitals concluded the campaign with 15 (54-15-13, 121 points). * Tampa Bay scored 325 goals in 2018-19, the most by any team in 23 years. The Penguins (362), Avalanche (326) and Red Wings (325) each eclipsed the 300-goal mark in 1995-96, with all three clubs reaching the Conference Finals and Colorado eventually winning the Stanley Cup. Their +103 goal differential in 2018-19 was the highest by a team in a season since 2005- 06, when the Senators had an equal amount. BOB COLE CALLS ORIGINAL SIX THRILLER TO END 50-YEAR CAREER With Bob Cole calling the final play-by-play of his half-century career, Ryan Poehling (3-0—3) scored a hat trick in his League debut and netted the decisive goal in the shootout to power the Canadiens past the Maple Leafs in a back-and-forth affair that saw the teams combine for 98 shots on goals (MTL 49, TOR: 49). * Poehling, the 25th overall pick in the 2017 NHL Draft, became the third player in franchise history to score three or more goals in his League debut, joining Joe Malone on the first day of games in NHL history (Dec. 19, 1917: 5-0—5 at SEN) and Alex Smart (Jan. 14, 1943: 3-1—4 vs. CHI). * The Canadiens and Maple Leafs each recorded 45 or more shots on goal in a head-to-head meeting for the second time and first since Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final on April 25, 1967 (MTL: 63, TOR: 54). Just under two years later, Cole called his first NHL game in Game 6 of the 1969 Semifinals on April 24, 1969, when Jean Beliveau scored his only career overtime goal to put Montreal into the Final. 2018-19 HAS THE MOST GOALS IN NHL HISTORY Maple Leafs defenseman Jake Gardiner scored the League's 7,589th goal of 2018-19 – surpassing the previous high for most in a single season (7,588 in 2005-06). Overall, 7,664 goals were scored this season (including 87 shootout-deciding goals). * With an average of 6.0 goals per game, 2018-19 ended as the second-highest-scoring season over the past 22 years behind a 6.2 mark in 2005-06 that came on the heels of a comprehensive package of rule changes. * Penguins captain Sidney Crosby (35-65—100) collected two points Saturday to become the sixth player to reach the 100-point mark this season, with four players finishing within four points of the benchmark. The 2018-19 campaign is just the third in the last 22 years to feature at least six 100-point players (7 each in 2005-06 and 2006-07). * Crosby reached the 100-point mark for the sixth time in his NHL career, trailing only Mario Lemieux (10x) for the most such campaigns by a Penguins player. Additionally, only five players in NHL history have recorded more 100-point seasons than Crosby: Wayne Gretzky (15x), Lemieux (10x), Marcel Dionne (8x), Mike Bossy (7x) and Peter Stastny (7x). * Oilers forward Leon Draisaitl (50-55—105) found the back of the net in the opening frame to join Alex Ovechkin (51-38—89) among the only players to score 50 goals this season. The 2018-19 campaign marked the third in the last 10 years to feature at least two 50-goal scorers. The others: 2011-12 (Steven Stamkos and Evgeni Malkin) and 2009-10 (Stamkos, Crosby and Ovechkin). THREE MULTI-GOAL COMEBACK WINS ON FINAL DAY SETS NHL RECORD The 2018-19 regular-season featured an all-time high of 138 multi-goal comeback wins, with three teams achieving the feat on the final day: the Lightning en route to their NHL record-tying 62nd win, the Predators to clinch the Central Division and the Canadiens to cap a 6-5 thriller in the final call of Bob Cole’s legendary career. * Overall, 41% of games contested during the 2018-19 regular-season saw a team overcome a deficit of at least one goal to win (525 of 1,271 GP) - the second-most comeback wins in NHL history (537 in 2005-06). * Tampa Bay led the League in both comeback wins (29) and multi-goal comeback wins (10). They became the 11th team in NHL history to post at least 10 multi-goal comeback victories in a season, with only three teams finishing with more: the 1983-84 Oilers (12), 1985-86 Whalers (12) and 1979-80 Flyers (11).

The Sabres' new coach delivered an impassioned speech to team employees and spoke glowingly of the passionate fan base during his introductory news conference with the media. Krueger expressed excitement for the challenge ahead and the privilege of coaching a franchise that was held in high regard by friends and former colleagues, including Miroslav Satan and Uwe Krupp. Yet, Krueger wasn't interested in focusing on the past, specifically why the Sabres' playoff drought reached a National Hockey League-worst eight seasons.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE JUNE 5, 2021 MATTHEWS, SLAVIN AND SPURGEON VOTED LADY BYNG TROPHY FINALISTS NEW YORK (June 5, 2021) – Toronto Maple Leafs center Auston Matthews, Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Jaccob Slavin and Minnesota Wild defenseman Jared Spurgeon are the three finalists for the 2020-21 Lady Byng Memorial Trophy, awarded “to the player adjudged to have exhibited the best type of sportsmanship and gentlemanly conduct combined with a high standard of playing ability,” the National Hockey League announced today. Members of the Professional Hockey Writers Association submitted ballots for the Lady Byng 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 Lady Byng Trophy, in alphabetical order: Auston Matthews, C, Toronto Maple Leafs Matthews posted a League-leading 41 goals, 12 game-winning goals and 222 shots on goal (41-25—66) to earn his first career Maurice “Rocket” Richard Trophy and help the Maple Leafs claim their first division title since 1999-00.
