Here’s what it sounds like at Panthers pregame skate in Ottawa with Brady Tkachuk stepping on the ice with his teammates.

I’ve said they’re a dark horse landing spot from the beginning. The more I think about it, the more I think the Utah Mammoth may be the best place for Connor Hellebuyck to end up.

On today’s episode of the Goalie Union podcast, Devan Dubnyk and I talked about Devin Cooley’s “weird goalie” interview, and why he’s actually providing incredible insight into elite athletic performance. m.youtube.com/watch?v=OXOiSr…

Per NHL Stats & Research, tonight was the first time in VGK history they have allowed 4 unassisted goals in the same game. Entering play tonight, there have been 179 instances of this happening throughout NHL history.

Final- Lightning 6, Golden Knights 2 The chances felt fairly even tonight, with both teams creating plenty. Andrei Vasilevskiy was the difference. He was brilliant, as he often is.

Trevor Connelly is the driver of the Golden Knights' third line. No question.

William Karlsson was slow to get back to the bench after hitting the boards on that last shift. The trainer talked to him, but he's staying on the bench for now.

Anthony Cirelli hasn't taken a shift in the 3rd period, and isn't on the bench for Tampa Bay.

Nikita Kucherov takes it away from Jeremy Lauzon, casually strolls down the ice, and snipes it by Hart. 6-2 Tampa

Brutal turnover by Eichel, and Cirelli buries it top shelf before you can blink. 4-2 Lightning

This game has not been the tight-checking contest I expected at all. Both defenses have been porous, and the offensive attacks have been sharp. Cirelli puts Tampa back ahead with a one-timer from the doorstep. 3-2

Mark Stone, all by his lonesome on the backside of the play, and he snipes one by Vasilevskiy short side. 2-2

John Carlson gives Tampa the lead back immediately. Fantastic individual play by the veteran defenseman. He carried it into the zone, fired a shot on Hart, got his own rebound, and buried it. 2-1 TBL

Ivan Barbashev has done it. He ties it 1-1 with his first goal of the season. A rebound in front after Vasievskiy robbed Marner. A brutal turnover started it all after a TB defender's stick snapped in half.

Nevermind, he didn't break his stick, he just whiffed badly.
