Recently processed trades left some issues with lines (looking at Winnipeg, which only had 5 defencemen, and Philadelphia, who had 24 skaters), but I got through it eventually.

Continuing something of a theme lately, road teams picked up most of the wins - of the last 24 games, home teams have won just 4 o.O

Alexei Marchenko picked up 2 assists in his Flyers' debut (a 5-3 win over Anaheim), Sam Bennett's 3 points were not enough as the Flames lost 5-3 to Colorado, whereas Nazem Kadri's 3 points were enough for the Canucks, who beat Dallas 5-2. Montreal's Kirby Dach also picked up 3 points but in a 4-4 tie with Florida, as did his IRL linemate Alex Newhook, though Mattias Tedenby won 1st star as he had 4pts in the 5-5 tie between New Jersey and Columbus.
Meanwhile, Nashville's Julien Gauthier got 5min (and 9 games) for injuring Nikita Scherbak, then was beaten by Bode Wilde and Samuel Kurker in fights.

[AvalancheGM]

Krejci two points, Svechnikov 8 shots, Clang pushes his record to 9-3.

[Wiild]

Outshot the heavyweight Sens 33-14, probably could've got the win there if Jones hadn't been given the nod... much to consider.
