#NHLPeachy @NHL NHL Morning Skate – April 19, 2021

THREE HARD LAPS

* History will be made when Sharks forward Patrick Marleau steps on the ice tonight at T-Mobile Arena.

* Braden Holtby made a season-high 37 saves and Vancouver scored three unanswered goals – bookended by tallies from Bo Horvat – to rally past Toronto in its return to action.

* The Islanders and Flyers required overtime in six contests during their eight-game season series, which concluded on Sunday.

MARLEAU SET TO PASS HOWE FOR MOST GAMES PLAYED IN NHL HISTORY

Monday’s slate concludes with Vegas hosting San Jose at T-Mobile Arena, where Sharks forward Patrick Marleau is set to skate in the 1,768th regular-season game of his NHL career and pass Gordie Howe (1,767 GP) for sole possession of the most in League history. Howe has held the distinction since Nov. 26, 1961 when he overtook Ted Lindsay (999 GP) and became the first player to appear in at least 1,000 career NHL regular-season games.

* The Golden Knights defeated the Ducks on Sunday to extend their winning streak to six games, the longest active run in the NHL. Mark Stone (1-1—2), who has skated in the same division as Marleau for parts of each of the past four seasons, recorded multiple points for a fourth straight game (3-5—8).

* ICYMI: NHL.com spoke to former players Tony Granato, Kelly Hrudey, Curtis Joseph and Bryan Marchment – who all dressed during Marleau’s League debut on Oct. 1, 1997 – as well as several others ahead of the historic night in Las Vegas.

HOLTBY SHINES AS CANUCKS RALLY IN RETURN TO ACTION

Braden Holtby made 37 saves, including a highlight-reel stop on Wayne Simmonds in the third period, and Bo Horvat (2-1—3) buried the overtime winner as the Canucks rallied from a 2-0 deficit to defeat the Scotia North Division-leading Maple Leafs in their return to action.

ISLANDERS INCH CLOSER TO TOP OF DIVISION; BRUINS, RANGERS KEEP PACE

The Islanders (28-13-4, 60 points) blanked the Flyers to move within two points of the MassMutual East Division-leading Capitals (29-13-4, 62 points), while the Bruins (25-12-6, 56 points) and Rangers (23-16-6, 52 points) also earned wins on Sunday to keep pace:

* Ilya Sorokin made 30 saves to record his third shutout of the season and defenseman Nick Leddy was credited with the third overtime goal of his NHL career as the Islanders concluded their eight-game season series against the Flyers with a 5-1-2 record (PHI: 3-1-4).

* Brad Marchand (2-2—4) became the ninth player to record 700 points with Boston (313-387—700 in 792 GP) and was the fifth fastest to do so as the Bruins, who occupy fourth in the division, moved within three points of the third-place Penguins (28-14-3, 59 points).

* Marchand collected an assist on the 20th career shorthanded goal by Patrice Bergeron (2-1—3). Bergeron (10) and Marchand (8) have combined for 18 shorthanded goals since 2017-18, which is more than five NHL franchises have scored over that span: Washington (17), Minnesota (17), Los Angeles (16), Toronto (16) and Philadelphia (15).

* Mika Zibanejad had a first-period assist to extend his point streak to six contests and then scored the go-ahead goal with 3:00 remaining in regulation as the Rangers swept their four-game set against the Devils (NJD: 0-4-0). New York remained four points back of Boston.

SONS OF STANLEY CUP WINNERS FOOTE, SAMUELSSON MAKE NHL DEBUTS

* New Jersey forward Nolan Foote assisted on a game-tying goal during his NHL debut as the Devils rallied from a 3-0 deficit to pull even before eventually falling to the Rangers. His father, Adam, skated 19 seasons in the NHL, which included capturing the Stanley Cup with Colorado in 1996 and 2001.

* Sabres defenseman Mattias Samuelsson was held off the score sheet through 14:12 of ice time during his first NHL game but logged one shot on goal as Buffalo defeated Pittsburgh, the team his father, Kjell, won a Stanley Cup with in 1992.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
