#NHLPeachy @NHL Morning Skate – Nov. 9, 2026

* Accomplishments were aplenty for Cutter Gauthier and the Ducks on Sunday as the forward became the first player in NHL history with three hat tricks within the first 10 days of a calendar month and Anaheim became the eighth team in League history with five-plus goals in eight straight games.

* The weekend ended with more players reaching milestones: Connor Hellebuyck (350 career wins), Mitch Marner (100th point with Vegas) and Mark Scheifele, who climbed a Jets all-time list with his late game winner.

* A Monday Night Hockey doubleheader on Sportsnet+ begins with Connor McDavid looking to reach the 40-assist and 50-point mark, while the three-game slate ends with Matthew Schaefer facing Macklin Celebrini, who needs one point for 200 in his career.

GAUTHIER NOTCHES NHL FIRST WITH THIRD HAT TRICK IN FIVE GAMES TO START MONTH


Cutter Gauthier (3-1—4) scored his third hat trick of the season, all of which have come during a five-game span to start November, and has now found the back of the net 13 times in his past six games dating to Oct. 29 as he powered the Ducks to an eighth straight game with five or more goals (6-1-1 in those contests). Gauthier’s hat trick marked a plethora of accomplishments – some never before seen in NHL history – that can all be read in Sunday’s #NHLStats: Live Updates.


* Gauthier (17 GP) became the fourth player in the past 100 years to score three hat tricks within his first 17 games of a season, following Auston Matthews (11 GP in 2023-24), Mike Bossy (13 GP in 1983-84, 16 GP in 1980-81 & 17 GP in 1984-85) and Bernie Nicholls (17 GP in 1981-82). His first and third three-goal performances occurred at Honda Center as the 22-year-old became the first player in Ducks history with hat tricks in consecutive home games.


* Gauthier became the first player in NHL history to score three hat tricks within the first 10 days of a calendar month. Phil Esposito previously scored three hat tricks through the first 13 days in December 1970.


* The Ducks became the eighth team in NHL history to score five or more goals in eight straight contests, with much of that offense having benefited from the man advantage. Anaheim, with an NHL-leading 25 power-play goals, has scored at least one in its past eight contests and became the first team with 16 power-play goals in a six-game span since the Sharks (17 from Jan. 4-15, 2007).


HELLEBUYCK CONTINUES PERFECT START WITH PERFECT PERFORMANCE

Connor Hellebuyck turned aside all 23 shots he faced to earn his 350th career win, improve to 5-0-0 to start the season with New Jersey and help the Devils defeat the Maple Leafs in the annual Hockey Hall of Fame Game in Toronto. Hellebuyck became the 27th goaltender in NHL history to reach 350 career wins (third active; Sergei Bobrovsky: 459 & Andrei Vasilevskiy: 378).


* Hellebuyck became the first goaltender to win each of his first five games with the Devils franchise and the club’s third netminder to earn a victory in each of his first five outings of a season alongside Akira Schmid (5 GP in 2022-23) and Chris Terreri (5 GP in 1993-94).


* Nico Hischier (1-1—2) assisted on the game-winning goal and eclipsed 500 career points in the process (207-294—501). The Devils captain became the third Swiss-born player in NHL history to reach the milestone alongside Roman Josi (799) and Kevin Fiala (528).


* This year’s list of Honored Members includes Patrice Bergeron, Cindy Curley, Carey Price, Pekka Rinne, Keith Tkachuk and Brian Burke. The official ceremony takes place tonight and more notes can be found in the #NHLStats Pack: Hockey Hall of Fame Player Inductees.


JETS WITHSTAND LIGHTNING RALLY WITH SCHEIFELE’S LATE GAME WINNER
The Jets took a 3-0 lead into the final 10 minutes of the third period with contributions from rookies Viggo Björck (0-2—2) and Brayden Yager (1-0—1), but the Lightning stormed back with three quick goals of their own to tie the game in a span of just over four minutes. Winnipeg went on the power play with under a minute to go in the third period and it was Mark Scheifele (1-1—2) who capitalized by scoring the game winner with two seconds remaining in regulation.


* Scheifele’s game winner marked his 97th career power-play goal, which tied Paul MacLean for the third most in franchise history behind Dale Hawerchuk (122) and Ilya Kovalchuk (115). He also became the club’s second player to score a go-ahead goal in the final two seconds of regulation, following Andrew McBain (59:59 on Dec. 14, 1988).

AROUND THE RINKS

* Mitch Marner opened the scoring and assisted on Tomas Hertl’s first of two goals to reach 100 career points with the Golden Knights and help Vegas beat Buffalo. Marner (98 GP) became the fastest player in franchise history to hit a triple-digit total, besting the previous mark set by Mark Stone (103 GP on March 5, 2021).

* Morgan Geekie extended his goal streak to four games and Michael Eyssimont scored the winner in his season debut as the Atlantic Division-leading Bruins (13-4-1, 27 points) defeated the Panthers for a seventh straight home victory. David Pastrnak (0-2—2) has 50 career assists on goals by Geekie, the former’s third-most with one teammate behind sidelined Florida forward Brad Marchand (108) and soon-to-be Hockey Hall of Fame member Patrice Bergeron (75).

* The Flames tied the game in regulation three times before Matt Coronato scored the winning goal in the final minute of overtime. Twenty-year-old Matvei Gridin collected a primary assist on the overtime tally and was one of three Calgary skaters age 21 or younger with a point Sunday (also Aydar Suniev: 0-1—1 & Zayne Parekh: 1-0—1). The Flames have 28 combined points by players age 21 or younger this season – the fifth most among all teams behind the Sharks (27-38—65), Ducks (18-33—51), Flyers (16-20—36) and Blackhawks (11-19—30).


QUICK CLICKS




McDAVID, CELEBRINI, SCHAEFER ALL IN ACTION MONDAY

Tonight’s three-pack begins with a Monday Night Hockey on Sportsnet+ doubleheader: Connor McDavid (10-37—47 in 18 GP) can become the fastest player in NHL history to 40 assists in a season when his Oilers host the Rangers before the Flyers visit the Canucks. The slate is capped by a battle between New York’s Matthew Schaefer and San Jose’s Macklin Celebrini, who is one away from the 200-point milestone. Schaefer (2-0-0; 1-2—3) holds the advantage in wins and points in his two previous meetings against Celebrini (0-1-1; 2-0—2).


National Games on the Radar this week

Five #NHLStats and storylines you need to know about other national broadcasts this week:


1. Tkachuk closes in on 700 career points on ESPN+ doubleheader (Tuesday): Matthew Tkachuk (257-439—696 in 691 GP) plays his first of four scheduled games this week and does so against the Blue Jackets, where the Panthers are 11-1-0 in their past 12 games against the franchise. Tkachuk, whose 10 assists against Columbus are tied for his third most against a single franchise in a Florida uniform, can become the 10th U.S.-born player to reach 700 career points in fewer than 700 career games; his father, Keith, did so in 720 contests.



2. Veterans Appreciation Night Doubleheader (Wednesday): As Remembrance Day and Veterans Day are observed in Canada and the U.S., respectively, NHL on TNT hosts its annual NHL Veterans Appreciation Night presented by Navy Federal Credit Union. First, the Sabres host the Lightning in an Atlantic Division clash, before Mark Stone continues his pursuit of the Golden Knights franchise record for points when the Mammoth travel to Vegas.


3. Hurricanes, Kraken headline 2026 NHL Global Series Finland on Sportsnet+ (Thursday): The Hurricanes and Kraken will go head-to-head for the first in a pair of games at Helsinki’s Veikkaus Arena (Nov. 12 & Nov. 14), as the 2026 NHL Global Series Finland features two of the NHL’s four Finnish players with 10+ assists in 2026-27 (Sebastian Aho: 16; 1st & Kaapo Kaako: 10; 4th). Carolina, 2-0-0 in games contested overseas, will become the fourth reigning champions to contest games outside North America and first since the 2024-25 Panthers (2-0-0 in 2 GP; Tampere, Finland).


4. McDavid vs. Matthews highlights Saturday Night Hockey on Sportsnet (Saturday): Oilers captain Connor McDavid and Maple Leafs captain Auston Matthews will clash for the second and final time during the regular season in 2026-27, and 23rd all-time meeting (TOR: 15-5-2; EDM: 7-13-2). The stars have each produced at higher than a point-per-game pace in their showdowns (McDavid: 10-24—34; Matthews: 14-10—24), with McDavid collecting three points in three of his past four outings in his hometown.


5. Burns approaches 1,600th career game on Sportsnet (Saturday): Brent Burns is set to become the 14th player in NHL history to play in 1,600 games. Burns, the NHL’s oldest active player who hasn’t missed a game in nearly 13 years, can set the NHL record for lengthiest “Ironman” streak on Feb. 15 versus Columbus.

#NHLPeachy @NHL Morning Skate – Nov. 8, 2026

* Sebastian Aho factored on three of the Hurricanes’ team record-tying nine goals in his final game before heading home for the 2026 NHL Global Series Finland.

* A handful of stars, with significant ties to the incoming Hockey Hall of Fame class, produced impactful moments during a 12-game Saturday including Sidney Crosby, who moved into sixth place on the NHL’s all-time points list.

* Anaheim’s goal-scoring ways have been on full display in their past seven games. The Ducks return to action Sunday with an opportunity to become the first team to score five or more goals in eight straight games since the 1988-89 Kings.


HURRICANES HEAD TO HELSINKI ON HEELS OF HIGH-SCORING WIN VERSUS BLACKHAWKS
Sebastian Aho (1-2—3) had a game-high three points, Jackson Blake (1-0—1) extended his career-high scoring streak to nine contests and Pyotr Kochetkov made 18 saves as the League-leading, reigning-champion Hurricanes (14-3-2, 30 points) secured a high-scoring win in their final outing before competing in the 2026 NHL Global Series Finland next week (2 GP from Nov. 12-14). Carolina’s nine goals are the League’s most by a team in its last game before playing a contest outside North America.



* Blake bested the longest point streak by his father, Jason (8 GP from Nov. 18 – Dec. 2, 2006), and has the League’s second longest entering a contest outside North America behind William Nylander’s 15-game run before playing in the 2023 NHL Global Series Sweden opener. Kochetkov extended his season-opening home winning streak to six games and improved to 11-1-0 through 12 appearances (1.67 GAA, .920 SV%, 2 SO), replicating a feat that teammate Brandon Bussi achieved during the 2025-26 campaign.

* Aho was born approximately 130 miles northwest of Helsinki in Rauma, Finland, and is set to play an NHL game in his home country for the first time in his career. Aho had his 320th career goal and needs one to tie Olli Jokinen (321) for fourth place on the League’s all-time list among Finnish players.





CLASS OF 2026 RECEIVES their RINGS AS HALL OF FAME INDUCTION WEEKEND BEGINS

Members of the Hockey Hall of Fame’s incoming class Patrice Bergeron, Brian Burke, Cindy Curley, Carey Price, Pekka Rinne and Keith Tkachuk received their custom rings as Induction Weekend got underway in Toronto on Saturday. Click here to read more.


* Sidney Crosby's first of two goals Saturday boosted his career totals to 659-1,113—1,772, which put him past Marcel Dionne (1,771) for sixth place on the NHL’s all-time points list. Of Crosby’s 1,773 points, 60 came against Bergeron – a player he battled against in the League from 2005-06 to 2022-23 but also shared the ice with as gold medal-winning teammates for Team Canada at the 2010 and 2014 Winter Olympics. The pair are part of the exclusive “Triple Gold Club”, a list that consists of only 30 players that have won at least one Olympic gold medal, one Stanley Cup and one World Championship gold medal.

* Jacob Fowler backstopped the Canadiens to victory in Toronto and extended his point streak to nine games (8-0-1). Fowler became the fourth Montreal netminder in the past 10 years with a run of that length, following Jakub Dobes (11 GP in 2024-25), Samuel Montembeault (10 GP in 2024-25) and Price (12 GP in 2016-17), who was the first goaltender in NHL history to win each of his first 10 appearances of a campaign that same season. Price had recently said Fowler’s game reminds him of his own.


* Steven Stamkos (1-0—1) scored one of his team’s three goals and moved into sole possession of fifth place on the League’s all-time power-play goals list, while Juuse Saros made 25 saves to backstop the Predators to victory. Saros ranks second in franchise history in career wins, behind only fellow Finn and former teammate Pekka Rinne – who is about to become the first Finnish goaltender to be inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame.



* Matthew and Brady Tkachuk combined for five points – Matthew had three assists including the primary helper on both of Brady’s goals – in their penultimate game before their father, Keith Tkachuk, is inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame. The Tkachuk brothers have factored on the same goal 14 times in their first 17 games as teammates, with one more game to play before watching their father enter the Hall. That contest is today in Boston, where Keith played one season at Boston University, not far from his hometown of Melrose, Mass., where he was drafted to the NHL out of high school. More than half of Keith’s career goals and points came after Matthew, the eldest of the Tkachuk siblings (also Taryn), was born on Dec. 11, 1997.



McDAVID CONTINUES STREAKS, 219-POINT PACE IN VICTORY VERSUS CANUCKS
Connor McDavid assisted on Mattias Ekholm’s 1-0 goal to become the sixth different player in NHL history with an 18-game season-opening point streak and factored on two third-period tallies by Leon Draisaitl (2-1—3) as the Pacific Division-leading Oilers (12-3-3, 27 points) clipped the Canucks.


* McDavid tied Adam Oates (18 GP from March 11 – April 14, 1993) for the League’s second longest assist streak at any point in a season behind only Wayne Gretzky (23 GP from Feb. 8 – March 24, 1991). McDavid recorded his 69th career three-assist game and needs two to tie Oates (71) for fourth place on the NHL’s all-time list.


NO LEAD IS SAFE IN THE THIRD AFTER LIGHTNING, DEVILS COMPLETE COMEBACKS

The Wild and Islanders each held a multi-goal lead with less than 14 minutes remaining in regulation but the Lightning’s Jake Guentzel (2-1—3), Nikita Kucherov (1-1—2) and Brayden Point (0-2—2) as well as the Devils’ Dougie Hamilton (1-0—1) and Jack Hughes (1-1—2) rose to the occasion and lifted their respective clubs to overtime victories.


* Guentzel scored Tampa Bay’s first two goals to begin their rally and Kucherov completed it with his 10th career overtime goal to give the Lightning their first multi-goal, third-period comeback win since Nov. 19, 2024. Point assisted on both Lightning goals in the third stanza to reach and surpass 700 career points – the sixth player in franchise history to reach the milestone.

* Kucherov's first point of the night was his 100th in the regular season dating to Jan. 1, 2026. He passed Jari Kurri (7) for the most 100-point calendar years by a player born outside North America. The only other active players with at least eight are Connor McDavid (9) and Sidney Crosby (8)

* Nineteen-year-old Matthew Schaefer (1-0—1) gave the Islanders its second of three leads Saturday but his 33-year-old counterpart, Hamilton, eventually tied the game in the third period with his 59th career goal for New Jersey. He overtook Damon Severson (58) for fourth place on the franchise’s all-time list among defensemen.

* Hughes completed the rally with his NHL-best third overtime goal of the season as three of the Devils’ past four multi-goal, third-period comeback wins have come against Islanders (also Nov. 9, 2024 & Nov. 28, 2023). The League’s 13 multi-goal, third-period comeback wins are tied for the third most at this stage of a season in League history (276 GP), behind only 2022-23 (20) and 2019-20 (19).

SIX-GAME SUNDAY FEATURES ANNUAL HOCKEY HALL OF FAME GAME IN TORONTO

Hockey Hall of Fame Induction Weekend continues with the Maple Leafs hosting the Devils at Scotiabank Arena in their annual Hockey Hall of Fame Game, where they will celebrate the 2026 inductees Patrice Bergeron, Brian Burke, Cindy Curley, Carey Price, Pekka Rinne and Keith Tkachuk – Toronto owns an all-time record of 12-7-5 in those contests.

* South of the border, Cutter Gauthier and the Ducks host Sidney Crosby and the Penguins at Honda Center, where they will look to become the first team since the 1988-89 Kings to score at least five goals in eight or more consecutive contests. The longest streak is 11 games, which was set by the Flyers 41 years ago.

* Gauthier has scored 27% of Anaheim’s goals over that streak (10 of 37), with all 10 of them coming in the past five games alone (since Oct. 29). He is the only player in Ducks history to net a double-digit goal total over a five-game span – a feat achieved by only 10 different players over the past 34 seasons.

#NHLPeachy @NHL Morning Skate – Nov. 6, 2026

* The Canadiens bounced back from their loss on Tuesday with a multi-goal comeback victory of their own thanks to Cole Caufield’s 15th career overtime goal.

* Beckett Sennecke followed up his four-assist outing with another three-point game last night and helped the Ducks become the ninth team in 40 years to score five-plus goals in at least six straight contests.

* A three-game Friday features several stars in action including Kirill Kaprizov and Macklin Celebrini, who will go head-to-head when the Wild host the Sharks at Grand Casino Arena.

CAUFIELD COLLECTS OT WINNER AS CANADIENS WITHSTAND COOLEY’S HAT TRICK

The Canadiens bounced back from their loss Tuesday by overcoming Logan Cooley's (3-1—4) hat trick and earning a multi-goal comeback victory of their own when Cole Caufield scored his 15th career overtime goal to end the contest. Montreal became the fourth team in NHL history with a multi-goal comeback win in a game immediately after suffering a loss where they held a four-goal lead, joining Calgary (Oct. 18, 2007), Toronto (Nov. 30, 2000) and Edmonton (Oct. 26, 1991).

* Caufield scored his 11th overtime goal at home, which matched the fifth most in NHL history. Only Alex Ovechkin (14), Leon Draisaitl (13), Patrik Elias (12) and Sidney Crosby (12) have more.


* Nick Suzuki (1-2—3) made his return to the lineup and assisted on Caufield’s overtime goal for his 15th point of 2026-27 (10 GP). He became the first Canadiens player in more than 30 years with as many points through their first 10 games of a season – the last to do so were Denis Savard (18) and Kirk Muller (15) in 1992-93.

* Cooley factored on all four Mammoth goals and recorded his fifth career hat trick. At 228 games played, he became the fastest active player to reach the mark, besting the NHL’s all-time goals leader, Alex Ovechkin (230 GP).

SENNECKE HELPS DUCKS OUTSCORE BOUCHARD, McDAVID AND OILERS

Beckett Sennecke (2-1—3) co-led the Ducks in scoring Thursday with his second straight outing of three or more points and helped Anaheim defeat Edmonton – the League’s highest scoring-team this season (71 GF). The Ducks tallied at least five goals for the sixth straight game, marking the longest stretch in franchise history. The last team with a run that lengthy was the 2021-22 Maple Leafs (6 GP).

* Sennecke’s second tally of the night put him past Dustin Penner (32) for the third-most goals by an Anaheim skater before their 100th NHL game (98 GP) – a list topped by Paul Kariya (46) and Bobby Ryan (40). That goal also made 20-year-old Sennecke the youngest player in franchise history to record consecutive three-point games, besting 21-year-old Kariya in 1995-96 (2 GP).

* Evan Bouchard (1-1—2), who became the sixth different defenseman in the NHL’s modern era (since 1943-44) to reach the 10-goal mark in 17 games or fewer, became the third player this season with 30 points following his teammates Connor McDavid (1-3—4) and Leon Draisaitl (1-1—2), who each also had multi-point games Thursday. The trio helped the Oilers become the third team in the past 50 years to have three of their players be the League’s first three outright to reach the 30-point mark in a campaign, following the 1995-96 Penguins and 1979-80 Kings.


HELLEBUYCK, DiPIETRO BACKSTOP DEVILS, BRUINS TO WINS
Connor Hellebuyck collected his fourth straight win to begin his Devils career while Michael DiPietro helped the Bruins maintain top spot in the Atlantic Division:


* Hellebuyck became the second goaltender in Devils franchise history to win each of his first four games with the club, following John Vanbiesbrouck (4 GP in 2000-01), as he backstopped New Jersey to its sixth straight home win. The Devils have posted only one longer such run over the past 15 years (7 GP in 2025-26).




* DiPietro (16 saves) improved to 4-1-0 through five appearances this season (2.20 GAA, .924 SV%, 1 SO), with the Atlantic Division-leading Bruins (12-4-1, 25 points) having scored 21 goals during his four-game winning streak (5.3 G/GP). DiPietro has one of the NHL’s highest goals-for averages (4.21 GFA), a statistic akin to "run support" in baseball.

ROOKIES AND VETERANS SHINE IN #NHLSTATS: LIVE UPDATES
The latest edition of #NHLStats: Live Updates featured rookies Trevor Connelly and Viggo Björck finding the score sheet to help the Golden Knights and Jets earn wins, respectively, as well as veteran Steven Stamkos netting an overtime winner to climb multiple all-time lists.


* Connelly collected a highlight-reel go-ahead goal with 1:42 remaining in regulation to reach seven tallies on the season and remain one back of Roman Kantserov (8) for the NHL’s most among rookies. The Golden Knights (11-5-2, 24 points) moved within one point of the Western Conference-leading Wild (11-3-3, 25 points).


* Björck (18 years, 238 days) collected an assist and became the third-youngest Swedish player in NHL history at the time of his first NHL point, behind only Mika Zibanejad (18 years, 172 days on Oct. 7, 2011) and Rasmus Dahlin (18 years, 181 days on Oct. 11, 2018). Björck also became the youngest Jets player at the time of his first NHL point since Ville Heinola (18 years, 215 days on Oct. 3, 2019).


* Stamkos lifted the Predators to victory in the extra frame and climbed multiple all-time lists in the process: he scored his 18th career overtime goal to tie Sebastian Aho and Mark Scheifele for the seventh most in NHL history and also recorded his 102nd career game winner to pass Jarome Iginla for sole possession of 10th most all-time.

#CulturedPeachy @MorganLibrary MAJOR EXHIBITION TRACES RAGTIME’S JOURNEY FROM BLACK AMERICAN ROOTS TO THE MAINSTREAM

Ragtime: Cakewalk in Pianoland

On view November 13, 2026, through June 13, 2027

The Morgan Library & Museum presents Ragtime: Cakewalk in Pianoland, an exhibition introducing visitors to one of the first truly global popular-music styles. On view from November 13, 2026, through June 13, 2027, the exhibition follows ragtime’s path, from the musical traditions of enslaved Black people to the parlors and saloons of rising industrial centers in nineteenth-century America, and on to the nightclubs and concert halls of the world. Along the way, the exhibition tells a story fundamental to American culture, one that connects ragtime to jazz, rock, and hip-hop: how Black cultural traditions and creativity have continually shaped, influenced, and been adapted within American music and art.

#CulturedPeachy @MorganLibrary FIRST U.S. EXHIBITION DEVOTED TO MEDIEVAL BLOCKBOOKS EXPLORES A PIVOTAL MOMENT IN BOOK HISTORY

 The Morgan Library & Museum will present Graphic Devotions: Late Medieval European Blockbooks, an exhibition that explores a pivotal thirty-year period in European book history, from 1450 to 1480, when growing demand for books spurred innovation and experimentation in their production. Featuring twenty bound works plus five prints, the exhibition is the first in the United States devoted exclusively to blockbooks. It will be on view from November 6, 2026, through May 16, 2027.

Blockbooks, sometimes described as medieval graphic novels, are highly illustrated books printed entirely from woodblocks, with both text and images carved into the same blocks. While some blockbooks adapted texts and imagery from contemporary manuscripts, block cutters and printers generally created new texts specifically suited to the medium, allowing words and images to work together in an innovative and accessible format.

#CulturedPeachy @MorganLibrary NEW EXHIBITION RECONSIDERS REMBRANDT THROUGH THE LENS OF MIGRATION AND EXILE, FEATURING RARELY EXHIBITED REMBRANDT ETCHINGS FROM THE MORGAN’S EXTENSIVE COLLECTION

The Morgan Library & Museum will present Rembrandt’s Lions: Art and Exile in the Dutch Republic, an exhibition that brings together, for the first time, a remarkable group of drawings, etchings, and paintings highlighting the often overlooked but formative presence of migrants, immigrants, exiles, and refugees in the world and work of Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn (1606– 1669). The exhibition particularly focuses on stories of diaspora, or dispersed communities, that figure prominently in many of his etchings, offering a new perspective on the effects of migration on seventeenth-century life. Today, Rembrandt is seen as the quintessential Dutch artist, yet in his day the Dutch Republic was newly formed, and what it meant to be Dutch was still being defined. On view from October 23, 2026, through January 31, 2027, this exhibition illuminates a new interpretation of the artist and the world he inhabited.

#InauguralReview #Murano Since 2024 Brought Back from 1983 by Milan Licul and Damir Coric #120East56thStreet between #LexingtonAvenue #ParkAvenue #MidtownEast #Manhattan #NewYork

Maiale is the best Pork we have had anywhere in 2026 by Murano on their very first try!
It's not who you know, it's WHOM YOU KNOW and we are so glad to now know Murano, especially because we missed it in the 1980s!  Open since 2024, the newest incarnation of Murano which originally made its New York debut in 1983 by Milan Licul has been brought back to life, and Milan owns Murano today along with Damir Coric, both of whom hail from Croatia and are a pleasure to work with.  Damir joined Milan at Murano in November 2025.  Murano today has 60 seats with twelve more at the bar and a private room for 50.

Damir came to the USA in 2019 from Istria, Croatia, and Damir brings a lot of cruise ship experience with both Royal Caribbean and Carnival rising from bus boy to Celebrity Maitre'D with 120 reporting to him.  The Murano 1983 original was on West 36th Street in the garment district; in 1983 Peachy would have walked in with her Cabbage Patch kids so probably would have been taken far less seriously then as well.  Milan was actually featured long ago for Arno, and his talents have only gotten better over the years as evidenced in our Murano experience.  We were brought spectacular bruschetta and grana padano as a greeting.
Salmon Tartare pleasantly perches upon crispy polenta with caper aioli and salmon roe to further accentuate the sensational Salmon theme of this starter.  It's an artistic endeavor as well as you can see it achieves high marks aesthetically, as do many of the Murano dishes we experienced this inaugural visit.  Polpo is another winner and the grilled octopus was perfectly tender.  It's joined by cannellini beans, pickled red onion, and an inventive, invigorating peperonata sauce of 25% red bell peppers and 75% piquillo peppers from Spain.
The Caesar Salad is a total classic of baby romaine lettuce, candied fennel, sesame and coriander seeds which elevate and distinguish the flavor immensely, fine herbs and grana padano.  We chose to add a protein, and specifically opted for the grilled shrimp and three arrived in style, as shown.  Note if you are new to us, be aware we do not ever edit pictures.  We publish only the truth.  And the truth is, Murano is excellent.
Linguine di Mare extends your summer just a little longer, on your plate that is!  Scallops, Clams, Shrimp, Calamari, and Mussels combine for a succulent seafood symphony of pasta prowess that is at its best.  Every bite was fresh and just what we were looking for.
We love parm in many forms, and at Murano under Primi, you'll discover a convincing edition of Parmigiana Di Melanzane: Eggplant Parmigiana.  This is exactly what you should seek if you are one that does not dine upon meat or fish.  It incorporates the talents of this Italian venue and capitalizes on doing a standard dish in an extraordinary fashion.  The ingredients employed and overall result will impress you.  Finally under pasta, Cacio e Pepe is another standard that hits the high notes of excellence with its cheese and black pepper combination of true authenticity.
Executive Chef Cesar Dutan has been with Murano since the day it reopened in November 2024, and Murano is named after the city in Italy in the province of Venice.  The Murano glass that graces your presence is also to be adored.  Pollo Scarpariello is a dish of both light and dark meat rejoicing in garlic and lemon and chardonnay; it achieves a superlative nuance of flavor and makes chicken exciting again.
Without a doubt, Maiale was the best of the best.
We were highly impressed with the culinary talents of Murano overall, but this is the exact best edible of our first experience.  The Berkshire Pork Chop is ideally executed medium well and incorporates not only premium pork underlying the tremendous effort but also is brought to higher echelons with fried onions on top, polenta and truffle sauce.  It makes every day a celebration on your palate, and we paired it with this beautiful Brunello which complimented it so well. It puts all other pork chops to shame and deems them quite boring in comparison.
Scampi Alla Griglia is the fab four of shrimp on the grill, resplendent in lemon butter sauce with mashed potato and broccoli singing backup.  Murano in each and every course announced it's in it to win it and we didn't find any flaws and liked everything we tried.
The final firework was a terrific cappuccino that will put pep in your nighttime step and you should not walk but run to meet the best Chocolate Raspberry Cake we have had anywhere in years.  Executive French Pastry Chef, Dominic makes it fresh and every brilliant bite is truly intoxicatingly delicious; also, the raspberry and chocolate flavors are balanced quite nicely.  We are so impressed on our first visit to Murano and we hope they keep up with this great work!  Stay tuned.




Their website tells us:

The Return of an 1980's era Nameplate in NYC.

Milan Licul is a legend among New York City restaurateurs. He got his start in the business over 50 years ago, at his family’s small café in Croatia and by 1983 he launched a restaurant with his friend and fellow countryman Branko Turcinovic, opening the original Murano Ristorante on 36th Street in the Garment District, featuring the fine northern Italian dining that became his trademark.
