Kirill Kaprizov ran the show with three assists and the in-close chances tilted his way as the Wild beat the Sharks 4-1, a 9.5 Game Grade. Owen Power (9.0) set up the Sabres and Zayne Parekh (9.0) the Flames. Every player, every game, graded.
Tampa Bay is unbeaten at home, but it has yet to solve the road, going 2-3 there. Minnesota has yet to lose in regulation at home, and something has to give when they meet.
Florida has won seven of its last ten, and the difference is in its own end. Washington has been outshot over that stretch and has no clear answer for it. The Panthers are the cleaner team heading into Capital One Arena.
The Rangers have won just one of their last ten road games, and it has been a 1-5 stretch away from home. Yet they arrive in Seattle with the better chance profile, and the Kraken, despite trailing in shots, keep finding ways to collect points.
The Sharks have been giving up far better chances than they create, and it shows in a four-game skid. Dallas has been more efficient than dominant, and Heiskanen's status is the piece that could tip this one.
Red Wings Bring a Losing Skid Into Denver. Colorado is far better at home than on the road, and Detroit waits on word of John Gibson's return from a lower-body injury.
Parekh logged more ice time than any Flames blueliner and blocked six shots, but Anaheim's comeback ended Calgary's home winning streak at five games.
Pittsburgh has been creating enough to win over its last 10 games, but it has won just two of them. The Penguins have lost three straight on the road and now head into Los Angeles needing Arturs Silovs to steady things.
Mammoth and Senators Meet in a Mirror-Image Tilt. Identical records, a banged-up Utah blue line, and a possible Ullmark return give Ottawa's home crowd plenty to watch.
Vancouver has allowed 4.0 expected goals a night over its last ten games while creating just 2.4, a gap that explains the slide better than any hot goalie or cold bounce could. Edmonton has been far less sure of itself at home than on the road, and that split is the thing to watch.
Chicago is still hunting its first road win of the season, and it walks into Raleigh against a Carolina team that sits first in the East. The gap between these two clubs is about as wide as the standings get.
The Sharks have spent ten games on the wrong end of the chance count. They are creating 3.2 expected goals a night and allowing 4.2, and the gap is bigger than the scoreboard lets on. Minnesota has been the team steering that math.
McDavid piled up four points, but Edmonton lost 5-4 to Anaheim, with the Ducks escaping by a single goal. The Oilers got little help in goal, and Vancouver is next on the schedule.
Mintyukov scored twice in the second period and added an assist, and the Ducks held off Edmonton on the road for a 5-4 win. He finished plus 2 in 16:01 of ice time.
Kaprizov Sets Up Three and Scores One in Wild's Win Over Sharks. Minnesota's star lands on four of the home side's goals, and San Jose's skid reaches four games.
Anaheim carried the play in Calgary and left with a 5-3 win, outshooting the Flames 29-21 while generating 3.7 expected goals. Ville Husso kept the door shut when it counted in the Saddledome.
Celebrini scored San Jose's only goal and logged a team-high 24:59, but the Wild still pulled away 4-1 at home. The Sharks are now 7-9 after a loss that the Wild controlled from start to finish.
Minnesota created the better looks against San Jose, 3.3 to 2.1 in expected goals, and the scoreboard reflects it with the Wild up 4-1. Askarov had to work through a lot of high-quality chances, and Kaprizov's playmaking carried the night.
