Stanley Cup Playoffs Edition – May 17, 2021 NHL MORNING SKATE: STANLEY CUP PLAYOFFS EDITION – MAY 17, 2021 THREE HARD LAPS * Brayden Point scored late as the Lightning outlasted the Panthers in the fourth playoff game in NHL history to feature four lead changes. * Cam Talbot outdueled Marc-Andre Fleury as the Wild stymied the Golden Knights en route to a Game 1 victory. * Each of the first three games of the 2021 Stanley Cup Playoffs required overtime, marking the first time the first three completed games in a postseason required extra time. POINT, KUCHEROV LEAD DEFENDING CHAMPS IN ROLLERCOASTER WIN In a back-and-forth game that saw four game-tying goals, Brayden Point (2-0—2) put Tampa Bay ahead for good with 1:14 remaining in regulation as the defending Stanley Cup champions took Game 1 in the first-ever “Battle of Florida” in Stanley Cup Playoffs history. * The Lightning and Panthers traded the lead four times in Game 1. Florida overcame a 1-0 deficit to go ahead 2-1 before Tampa Bay responded by taking a 3-2 advantage. The Panthers rallied again to take a 4-3 lead in the third period, followed by Point scoring twice in the final 7:00 of regulation to earn the victory. * Game 1 in the Lightning-Panthers series marked just the fourth game in NHL postseason history to feature four lead changes. The others: Game 2 of the 1936 Quarterfinals (NYA 4 at CHI 5), Game 2 of the 1992 Division Semifinals (EDM 5 at LAK 8) and Game 1 of the 2018 Stanley Cup Final (WSH 4 at VGK 6). * Point recorded his fourth career multi-goal game in the playoffs, the other three all came during the 2020 Stanley Cup Playoffs (Game 4 of the SCF, Game 1 of the CF & Game 1 of the R1), as he established a franchise record for most goals in a single playoff year (14 in 23 GP). * Nikita Kucherov, who was skating in his first contest since Game 6 of the 2020 Stanley Cup Final where he led all players with 7-27—34 in 25 GP, scored twice in his return to the Tampa Bay lineup. It marked his 37th and 38th career playoff goals, tied with Alex Ovechkin (38) for the most since Kucherov entered the League in 2013-14. TALBOT OUTDUELS FLEURY, BACKSTOPS WILD TO VICTORY IN GAME 1 Joel Eriksson Ek scored 3:20 into overtime and Cam Talbot turned aside all 42 shots he faced, including 30 through the first two periods, to outduel Golden Knights goaltender Marc- Andre Fleury in Game 1 of the 2021 First Round. * Talbot, who fell two saves shy of the most by a Wild goaltender in a playoff game, posted his first postseason shutout with the franchise after recording two with both the Oilers (2017) and Flames (2020). Only one goaltender in NHL history has earned a postseason shutout with more franchises than the current Minnesota netminder. * Fleury made 29 saves in the contest, including a highlight-reel, behind-the-back save on Kirill Kaprizov to keep the game scoreless. Sunday’s outing officially extended Fleury’s streak of consecutive years competing in the Stanley Cup Playoffs to 15 (since 2007) – breaking a tie with Tony Esposito (14 from 1970-83) for the longest by a goaltender in NHL history. * Additionally, Fleury became the fifth goaltender in NHL history to make at least 15 trips to the Stanley Cup Playoffs at any point in their career, joining Patrick Roy (17), Martin Brodeur (17), Jacques Plante (16) and Andy Moog (16). ISLANDERS, SOROKIN OUTLAST PENGUINS TO CLAIM GAME 1 VICTORY IN OVERTIME After the two clubs traded goals 31 seconds apart in the final five minutes of the third period, Kyle Palmieri (1-1—2) scored the winner with 3:30 remaining in overtime and Ilya Sorokin made 39 saves as the Islanders edged the Penguins in Game 1 of their First Round series. * Sorokin, who matched the franchise record for most saves by a rookie goaltender in a postseason contest, became the fourth rookie goaltender in Islanders history to win a playoff game, joining Glenn Resch (11-7), Kelly Hrudey (1-3) and Roland Melanson (1-1). Melanson (Game 4 of the 1981 QF) and Resch (Game 4 of the 1975 SF) are the only other ones to also backstop the franchise to an overtime win in the postseason. * Palmieri was born in Smithtown, N.Y., approximately 30.5 miles from Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum. He became the first Islanders player to score multiple goals in his playoff debut with the team.

QUICK CLICKS * Stanley Cup Playoffs coverage * NHL, 'Immigrantly' podcast partner to celebrate API Heritage Month * Canadiens-Maple Leafs playoff series has 'Hockey Sweater' author excited * Carey Price healthy, will start for Canadiens in Game 1 * Connor McDavid will produce for Oilers, Jets 'just can't help him' in Game 1 CAPITALS EYE 2-0 SERIES LEAD, TWO OTHER MATCHUPS SET FOR GAME 1 After a thrilling overtime victory on home ice, the Capitals will look to take a 2-0 series lead when they host the Bruins at Capital One Arena in Game 2. Also tonight, two other series are set to contest Game 1 when the Hurricanes host the Predators and the Presidents’ Trophy- winning Avalanche open against the Blues. * T.J. Oshie (0-2—2) and Tom Wilson (1-1—2) each collected two points in Game 1 as the Capitals edged the Bruins in the opening contest of their First Round series. Washington owns an all-time series record of 8-17 (.320) when leading 1-0 in a best-of-seven series, while Boston is 15-34 (.306) when trailing 1-0 in that same scenario. * Should either player collect two or more points again tonight, they would match the Capitals’ franchise mark for most consecutive games with multiple points to start a playoff year – a feat three other players have accomplished in the last 20 years: Nicklas Backstrom (2 GP in 2018 & 2019), John Carlson (2 GP in 2018) and Marcus Johansson (2 GP in 2016). No player in Capitals history has begun a playoff year with three straight multi-point outings. HURRICANES, PREDATORS SET FOR FIRST PLAYOFF MEETING The Central Division’s top-seeded Hurricanes will host the Predators in Game 1 at PNC Arena, marking the first all-time postseason meeting between the two franchises. Carolina won its division for the first time since its Stanley Cup-winning season in 2005-06, while Nashville is appearing in the postseason for the seventh consecutive year. * Carolina went 6-0-0 in its first six regular-season meetings with Nashville in 2020-21. The Predators, however, turned the tables in the final two meetings, closing the season with back-to- back wins over the Hurricanes while outscoring them by an 8-1 margin. * Hurricanes forward Sebastian Aho recorded 5-3—8 in eight regular-season games against Nashville this season. Aho is averaging 1.04 points per game in his playoff career (8-16—24 in 23 GP), tied with Cory Stillman for the highest such average in franchise history. * Nine players who helped the Predators reach the Stanley Cup Final for the first time in 2017 remain with the club, including captain Roman Josi and Filip Forsberg, who ranks first on the all-time franchise list for career playoff goals (26) and points (49). AVALANCHE, BLUES PRIMED FOR SECOND-EVER POSTSEASON SERIES The Presidents’ Trophy winning Avalanche are set to welcome the Blues to Ball Arena for Game 1 of the second-ever best-of-seven series between the two franchises. Colorado enters the Stanley Cup Playoffs after capturing its third Presidents’ Trophy and 12th division title in franchise history, while St. Louis is making its 44th playoff appearance – the most among non- Original Six clubs. * Nathan MacKinnon, who posted a 14-game point streak during the 2020 postseason, is averaging 1.35 points per game throughout his playoff career (20-34—54 in 40 GP). It marks the fourth-highest total among players to appear in at least 15 postseason games, behind only Wayne Gretzky (1.84), Mario Lemieux (1.61) and Barry Pederson (1.53). * Current Blues captain and former Avalanche forward Ryan O’Reilly is two years removed from winning the Conn Smythe Trophy in 2019. He has collected 12-22—34 in 35 career postseason games with the Blues after notching 3-4—7 in 13 playoff contests with Colorado in 2010 and 2014 combined. .

    ICE HOCKEY PACKET # 23 INSTRUCTIONS This Learning Packet has two parts: (1) text to read and (2) questions to answer. The text describes a particular sport or physical activity, and relates its history, rules, playing techniques, scoring, notes and news. The Response Forms (questions and puzzles) check your understanding and apprecia- tion of the sport or physical activity. INTRODUCTION Ice hockey is a physically demanding sport that often seems brutal and violent from the spectator’s point of view. In fact, ice hockey is often referred to as a combination of blood, sweat and beauty. The game demands athletes who are in top physical condition and can maintain nonstop motion at high speed. HISTORY OF THE GAME Ice hockey originated in Canada in the 19th cen- tury. The first formal game was played in Kingston, Ontario in 1855. McGill University started playing ice hockey in the 1870s. W. L. Robertson, a student at McGill, wrote the first set of rules for ice hockey. Canada’s Governor General, Lord Stanley of Preston, offered a tro- phy to the winner of the 1893 ice hockey games. This was the origin of the now-famed Stanley Cup. Ice hockey was first played in the U. S. in 1893 at Johns Hopkins and Yale universities, respec- tively. The Boston Bruins was America’s first NHL hockey team. Ice hockey achieved Olym- pic Games status in 1922. Physical Education Learning Packets #23 Ice Hockey Text © 2006 The Advantage Press, Inc. Through the years, ice hockey has spawned numerous trophies, including the following: NHL TROPHIES AND AWARDS Art Ross Trophy: First awarded in 1947, this award goes to the National Hockey League player who leads the league in scoring points at the end of the regular hockey season.

    Portail de l'éducation de Historica Canada Canada's Game - The Modern Era Overview This lesson plan is based on viewing the Footprints videos for Gordie Howe, Bobby Orr, Father David Bauer, Bobby Hull,Wayne Gretzky, and The Forum. Throughout hockey's history, though they are not presented in the Footprints, francophone players like Guy Lafleur, Mario Lemieux, Raymond Bourque, Jacques Lemaire, and Patrick Roy also made a significant contribution to the sport. Parents still watch their children skate around cold arenas before the sun is up and backyard rinks remain national landmarks. But hockey is no longer just Canada's game. Now played in cities better known for their golf courses than their ice rinks, hockey is an international game. Hockey superstars and hallowed ice rinks became national icons as the game matured and Canadians negotiated their role in the modern era. Aims To increase student awareness of the development of the game of hockey in Canada; to increase student recognition of the contributions made by hockey players as innovators and their contributions to the game; to examine their accomplishments in their historical context; to explore how hockey has evolved into the modern game; to understand the role of memory and commemoration in our understanding of the past and present; and to critically investigate myth-making as a way of understanding the game’s relationship to national identity. Background Frozen fans huddled in the open air and helmet-less players battled for the puck in a -28 degree Celsius wind chill. The festive celebration was the second-ever outdoor National Hockey League game, held on 22 November 2003.

    NHL MORNING SKATE: STANLEY CUP PLAYOFFS EDITION – JUNE 22, 2021 THREE HARD LAPS * The Lightning matched a franchise playoff record with eight goals to claim an 8-0 victory on home ice and move within one win of their second straight appearance in the Stanley Cup Final. * Brayden Point became the second player in NHL history – and first in 45 years – to post an eight-game goal streak in one postseason, following Reggie Leach who had a 10-game run with the Flyers in 1976. * After three straight one-goal games, including back-to-back overtime contests, the Golden Knights and Canadiens will square off for a 3-2 series lead tonight in Las Vegas. LIGHTNING SCORE EARLY AND OFTEN TO MOVE WITHIN ONE WIN OF FINAL After missing most of his team’s Stanley Cup run in 2020, captain Steven Stamkos (2-1—3) scored two of Tampa Bay’s eight goals as the Lightning benefited from another high-scoring outing at home to push the Islanders to the brink of elimination and move within one victory of advancing to the Stanley Cup Final. * The Lightning, who matched a franchise record for goals in a playoff game, became the fifth team to win a contest in the Conference Finals/Semifinals by a margin of eight or more goals, joining the Canadiens (11: Game 5 of 1944 SF), Oilers (9: Game 1 of 1985 CF), Red Wings (8: Game 2 of 1947 SF) and Bruins (8: Game 2 of 1972 SF). * Tampa Bay is averaging 4.50 goals per game at AMALIE Arena these playoffs, the highest single-postseason total in franchise history and highest by any team at home (min.

    NHL MORNING SKATE: STANLEY CUP PLAYOFFS EDITION – MAY 25, 2021 THREE HARD LAPS * The Jets won the first triple-overtime game of the 2021 Stanley Cup Playoffs – the longest game in franchise history – to complete their first-ever sweep. Winnipeg became the third team to reach the 2021 Second Round. * More than one-third of contests so far this postseason have required extra time, with 12 overtime games through 35 games played (34%). Only seven rounds in NHL history have featured more such contests. * Goaltenders Spencer Knight and Cam Talbot stood tall on Monday to help the Panthers and Wild extend their respective series to a Game 6. JETS WIN LONGEST GAME IN FRANCHISE HISTORY, COMPLETE FIRST-EVER SWEEP The Jets and Oilers required overtime for a third straight game and second straight day, this time extending to three extra periods before Winnipeg’s Kyle Connor scored after 106:52 of action. The Jets won the longest game in franchise history to complete the first sweep ever by the club and reach the Second Round for the second time (also 2018). * Winnipeg will next face either Toronto or Montreal in what will be the first-ever Stanley Cup Playoffs series between the two cities (including both iterations of the Winnipeg Jets). * Winnipeg became the fifth club to sweep the team with the Art Ross Trophy winner (since the award was introduced in 1947-48), following Columbus (2019 R1 vs. TBL), Edmonton (1990 DF vs. LAK), NY Islanders (1983 SCF vs. EDM) and Montreal (1960 SF vs. CHI).

  • Pregame Notes
    PREGAME NOTES 2019 TIM HORTONS NHL HERITAGE CLASSIC WINNIPEG JETS vs. CALGARY FLAMES MOSAIC STADIUM, REGINA, SASK. – OCT. 26, 2019 JETS, FLAMES FACE OFF OUTDOORS The Winnipeg Jets and Calgary Flames face off tonight in the 2019 Tim Hortons NHL Heritage Classic (10 p.m. ET / 8 p.m. CST, CBC, SN1, CITY, TVAS2, NBCSN) – the League’s 28th regular-season outdoor game and fifth in the Heritage Classic series. The Jets and Flames each have participated in one prior outdoor game, both under the Heritage Classic umbrella. Winnipeg played host to the 2016 Tim Hortons NHL Heritage Classic at Investors Group Field, falling 3-0 to the Edmonton Oilers. Nine Jets players who appeared in that game remain with the team: Kyle Connor, Nikolaj Ehlers, Connor Hellebuyck, Patrik Laine, Adam Lowry, Josh Morrissey, Mathieu Perreault, Mark Scheifele and Blake Wheeler. Current Calgary goaltender Cam Talbot started for Edmonton in that contest, stopping all 31 shots he faced for the third shutout in outdoor NHL game history. Current Jets forward Mark Letestu scored the winning goal (while shorthanded), as a member of the Oilers. And current Flames forward Milan Lucic recorded two penalty minutes for Edmonton. Calgary served as hosts for the 2011 Tim Hortons NHL Heritage Classic at McMahon Stadium, defeating the Montreal Canadiens 4-0. Two players who appeared in that game remain with the Flames: Mikael Backlund and Mark Giordano. Overall, the Jets feature 11 players who have participated in a prior outdoor NHL game (minimum: 1 GP in 2019-20), while the Flames have four. Talbot leads that group with four such appearances, though he served as a backup goaltender for three of them (2014 SS w/ NYR [2 GP], 2019 SS w/ PHI).
