3. I love this Alexandre Texier shootout goal just as much as I love the real-time reaction from NHL Network analysts Kevin Weekes and Brian Lawton:

Former Bruins captain Zdeno Chara played almost 21 minutes in his first game against his former team, which didn't see him as a full-time player at age 43. Chara -- who doesn't wear a visor -- took a puck to the face late in the first period but returned for the second and didn't miss a shift.Philadelphia Flyers

Kevin Rooney tied it up in the second with his second goal in two games and Chris Kreider won it in the third with his fourth of the season. It was a power play effort as the Rangers were 1-4 with the man-advantage while the Penguins were unable to score in six attempts.

''That 4-on-4 goal was a killer,'' Coyotes coach Rick Tocchet said. ''The one guy has him. There's no point in having two guys going to the same puck there.''Florida Panthers

That's when Sidney Crosby took over. He only took two shots, but the game winner came off the stick of Sid the Kid. That made Pittsburgh fans feel better, as Kris Letang left with an undisclosed injury in the first period. Pierre-Olivier Joseph stepped up with three assists to pick up the slack, and he had a team-high 33 shifts and 25:58 of ice time, and he is someone fantasy owners will want to watch closely.San Jose Sharks

Vanecek's rise is a bit more surprising, and had Ilya Samsonov not been placed in the COVID protocol after testing positive, we might not even be having this conversation. Samsonov was always the apparent heir to Braden Holtby, and everyone assumed the transition would be fairly seamless. It was the backup that the Caps worried about; they were so unsure they signed Craig Anderson just days before the season started. But, it was all for moot since Vanecek is 5-0-2 with a .918 Sv% in seven starts — four of which did not feature Alex Ovechkin — compared to Samsonov's 1-0-1 record and .868 Sv%.
