* Mikhail Sergachev had a four-point first period to match the NHL record for points in a frame by a defenseman.

* The Bruins set a club benchmark for the longest season-opening home winning streak, 98 years after their inaugural season.

* Blake Wheeler scored with six seconds remaining in regulation to match the latest game-tying goal by a Jets skater since the franchise relocated to Winnipeg, while Erik Karlsson added to his defensemen-leading point total as the Sharks recorded the NHL’s 20th multi-goal, third-period comeback victory of 2022-23.

SERGACHEV TIES NHL RECORD WITH FOUR POINTS IN FIRST PERIOD ON ESPN

With the Sunday spotlight focused on an ESPN national telecast featuring the Capitals and Lightning, Mikhail Sergachev tallied 2-2—4 in the first period to spot Tampa Bay to a 4-0 and match the NHL record for points in any period by a defenseman. Overall, it was the 37th time in League history that a blueliner collected four points in one frame and 11th instance in the first period.

* Sergachev and Bobby Orr are the only defensemen in NHL history to notch multiple goals and multiple assists in the first period of a game.

* Sergachev also tied the Lightning record for points in any period by a player of any position, equaling a feat last achieved by Martin St. Louis on Feb. 12, 2009. He was the first Tampa Bay defenseman to tally four points in the opening period of a game.


BRUINS SET FRANCHISE RECORD 98 YEARS IN THE MAKING

A franchise record 98 years in the making was set Sunday as the Bruins improved to 9-0-0 at TD Garden toestablish the longest season-opening home win streak in club history. Hampus Lindholm (0-3—3) tallied his second three-assist outing of the season as the Bruins (14-2-0, 28 points) took the outright lead in points atop the NHL standings and moved to a League-best 10-0-0 when scoring first.

* This is the 14th time the Bruins have strung together a home winning streak of at least nine games at any point in a campaign and first since 2018-19 (12-0-0 from Feb. 5 – March 27, 2019).


* Linus Ullmark (29 saves) has manned the net in seven of Boston’s nine home games this season, owning a 7-0-0 record to go along with a .945 save percentage and 1.68 goals-against average in those contests. He is the fourth goaltender in Bruins history to post a home winning streak of seven or more games from their first home appearance of a campaign, following Gilles Gilbert (16-0-0 in 1973-74), Ross Brooks (8-0-0 in 1973-74) and Manny Fernandez (7-0-0 in 2008-09).

* Ullmark has a record of 21-3-1 in 28 home games since joining Boston in 2021-22 (.750 W%). Among goaltenders with at least 15 home appearances over that span, only Florida’s Sergei Bobrovsky (.771 W%; 27-3-1 in 35 GP) has a higher win percentage. Bobrovsky won nine straight home decisions to start the 2021-22 season, with seven of those earned during the Panthers’ NHL record-tying season-opening home win streak noted in the graphic above.
 

JETS AND SHARKS SHOW NO QUIT, EARN COMEBACK WINS ON THE ROAD

The Jets and Sharks each rallied from behind on the road to win, boosting the total number of comeback victories in 2022-23 to 120 – the most ever at this stage of a campaign (243 GP).

* Jets captain Blake Wheeler (1-0—1) scored his 300th career goal in dramatic fashion, tying the game with six seconds remaining in regulation to force extra time, where Mark Scheifele (2-0—2) netted his 12th career overtime winner – the most by any skater in franchise history – to seal the comeback victory. Wheeler’s tally was the latest tying goal in the NHL this season and the second in the final minute of regulation in 2022-23 (also Oskar Sundqvist: 19:19 of P3 on Oct. 17 w/ DET).
 


* Erik Karlsson (0-1—1) assisted on San Jose’s game-tying goal with less than five minutes remaining in the third period to boost his defensemen-leading point total to 10-12—22 and help the Sharks stage their first multi-goal, third period comeback win of the season. It was the NHL’s 20th such victory of 2022-23, the most ever at this stage of a campaign (243 GP).


ROBERTSON, PAVELSKI HELP STARS KEEP PACE ATOP CENTRAL DIVISION
The duo of Jason Robertson (1-1—2) and Joe Pavelski (1-2—3) each registered multiple points to help the Stars earn a road win in Philadelphia and keep pace with the Jets atop the Central Division standings. It marked Dallas’ fifth consecutive win against the Flyers, tied for their longest active streak against one opponent (also 5 GP vs. ANA).

* Robertson extended his point streak to eight games (8-8—16 in 8 GP) – he has scored at least one goal in seven of those eight contests. Additionally, it marked Robertson’s eighth multi-point game of the season (15 GP), tied with Nathan MacKinnon (8 in 13 GP) and David Pastrnak (8 in 16 GP) for the second most in the NHL this season behind only Connor McDavid (9 in 16 GP).

* Pavelski’s three points marked his fifth multi-point game of the season and 41st since joining Dallas in 2019-20. Only two Stars have notched more multi-point games for the franchise than the now 38-year-old Pavelski over that span: Roope Hintz (45) and Robertson (44).


WORLD DIABETES DAY: KUNIN GIVES BACK

The philanthropy work Luke Kunin is doing to improve his communities is highlighted on World Diabetes Day – the largest diabetes awareness campaign. Kunin, who was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at the age of 12, wants to help kids with the same diagnosis, and he has done just that.

The Sharks forward has partnered with the Sharks Foundation and JDRF San Francisco to host youth and families impacted by diabetes at home games throughout the season.

He can become the first Senators skater to reach 20 points in 15 games or less since current teammate Thomas Chabot in 2018-19 and the first forward from the franchise to do so since Alfredsson (14 GP) and Jason Spezza (15 GP) both did so in 2007-08.

* Alfredsson is one of three Swedish-born players in the Hall of Fame Class of 2022, entering alongside Henrik and Daniel Sedin. This is the first time multiple players from the Tre Kroner will be inducted in the same year, bringing the country’s overall total to seven.

LAST FIVE GAMES
TEAM NOTES
PANARIN TWO ASSISTS AWAY FROM 400
Artemi Panarin is two assists away from 400 in his career. In notching the feat, Panarin would be the third player in the NHL to record 400 or more assists since Panarin made his NHL debut in 2015-16 (McDavid – 474, Kane – 408). If Panarin records two assists tonight in his 525th game, he would require the 21st fewest games of any NHL skater to reach the milestone and the third fewest of any active player (McDavid – 426 GP, Crosby – 448 GP).

Panarin would become the 57th undrafted player in league history to collect 400 assists and of those undrafted players, he would notch 400 assists in the fifth fewest games. Of his 398 assists, Mika Zibanejad has the most goals from Panarin with 41 while Chris Kreider is tied for fourth with 32. Panarin has nine points in his last eight games (1G-8A) and 21 points (5G-16A) in 16 games. Since 2019-20, Panarin ranks second in the NHL in assists and third in points. His 80 multi-point games are the fourth most in the league since 2019-20

FOX FEVER
Adam Fox has points in five-straight games (2G-6A) and has five points in his last two games (1G-4A). On the season, Fox has four goals and 13 assists for 17 points. Among NHL defensemen, he ranks tied for second in points and tied for first in assists. This is the fifth different occasion in his career that he has etched a five-game point streak. His career-long streak was 12 games from March 17-April 8, 2021 (3G-19A).

MIKA’S MISSION
Mika Zibanejad leads the Rangers with nine goals and has recorded points in seven of his last eight games (5G-5A). Zibanejad’s point streak was tied for the third longest of his career. When Zibanejad records a point this season, the Rangers are 7-2-1 and 5-0-0 when he notches multiple points. Six of Zibanejad’s nine goals have come on the power play, his six PPGs rank tied for the second most in the NHL (McDavid – 7). Since joining the Rangers in 2016-17, Zibanejad has 75 goals on the man advantage, the fifth most in the league in that span.

THE CAPTAIN CLOSES IN ON 200 ASSISTS
Rangers captain Jacob Trouba is one assist away from his 200th career NHL assist. With one assist, Trouba would become the third defenseman from the 2012 NHL Draft class to reach the feat (Morgan Rielly – 315, Shayne Gostisbehere – 202).

SPECIAL TEAMS

  • The Rangers have scored four power play goals in their last four games.
  • On Saturday night, the Rangers went 4-for-4 on the penalty kill, the second time this season they have had a perfect penalty kill while being shorthanded four or more times (Oct. 29 at DAL – 4 TS). New York has notched a perfect penalty kill in four of its last six games.
