Utah Mammoth and America First Credit Union Add a New Four-Legged Star to the Roster: Meet Bryce!

The Team Welcomes Their Second Future Service Dog Through Their Partnership with America’s VetDogs, Continuing Their Commitment to Veterans and First Responders with Disabilities

America’s VetDogs, a New York based national nonprofit providing service dogs to veterans and first responders, free of charge, is thrilled to announce a partnership with the Utah Mammoth and America First Credit Union, to co-raise a future service dog for a veteran or first responder with disabilities. As part of America’s VetDogs Puppy With a Purpose® program, the 11-week-old black Labrador Retriever has been named "Bryce," the namesake of Bryce Canyon National Park, one of Utah’s most famous landmarks, known for its spectacular red rock formations called hoodoos.

Bryce will make his public debut at the Delta Center on Nov. 12 as the Utah Mammoth face the St. Louis Blues and the team celebrates Military Appreciation Night. Bryce has already begun his basic training and socialization, which will continue with Utah Mammoth staff, fans and the community for the next 14-18 months. The Utah Mammoth will host Bryce at additional community events and select home games at the Delta Center to assist in raising him to be a confident and calm future service dog. Fans who follow the Utah Mammoth across social media and the @SEGCommunity Instagram account can stay up to date on Bryce’s progress, his training and local appearances.

Following Bryce’s puppy raising, he will return to America’s VetDogs campus in New York to begin his formal service dog training. Concluding his training, Bryce will be matched at no cost with a veteran, active-duty service member, or first responder with disabilities.

In March of 2026, Archie, the team’s first sponsored service dog, was matched with a U.S. Army Veteran and Salt Lake City native.

“We are thrilled to continue our partnership with the Utah Mammoth and America First Credit Union as we welcome our second future service dog, Bryce,” said John Miller, president and CEO of America’s VetDogs. “Seeing Archie, the first puppy raised through this partnership, now working as a service dog and making a life-changing difference for his veteran is a powerful reminder of why these partnerships are so important. We are incredibly grateful to the Utah Mammoth and America First Credit Union for their continued commitment to our mission, and we look forward to watching Bryce follow in Archie’s pawprints as he begins his own journey to change a veteran’s life.”

“The Utah Mammoth are thrilled to continue our work supporting veterans and first responders as we welcome Bryce to Utah and guide him through his initial training and development as a service animal,” said Kari Larson, senior vice president of community relations and foundation efforts at Smith Entertainment Group. “We’re grateful to America First Credit Union for sharing our commitment to providing this important resource to a person who has bravely served our country and look forward to continuing to work with America’s VetDogs in the journey ahead. We can’t wait for our players, fans and community members to meet Bryce.”

It costs more than $50,000 to breed, raise, train, and place one service dog; however, all America’s VetDogs’ services are provided at no charge to the individual. Funding comes from the generosity of individuals, corporations, and service and fraternal clubs. Learn more by visiting VetDogs.org.

About America’s VetDogs

For more than 20 years, America’s VetDogs (www.VetDogs.org) has trained and placed guide and service dogs to provide independence, enhanced mobility, and companionship to veterans with disabilities from all eras. In 2015, America’s VetDogs opened its programs to first responders, including fire, police, and emergency medical personnel. America’s VetDogs is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization founded by the Guide Dog Foundation and serves individuals from across the United States. America’s VetDogs relies on contributions from generous individuals, corporations, service clubs, and foundations to fund its mission to help those who have served our country live with dignity and independence. It costs more than $50,000 to breed, raise, train, and place one assistance dog, but America’s VetDogs provides its services completely free of charge to the individual. America’s VetDogs has been accredited by both the International Guide Dog Federation and Assistance Dogs International.

#NHLPeachy @NHL Morning Skate – Nov. 11, 2026

* Kirill Kaprizov scored the overtime goal as the Wild quelled a late comeback attempt by the Canadiens and extended their road winning streak to six games.

* Dawson Mercer tallied twice against his former team to help the Jets earn a fourth consecutive victory dating to their historic four-goal comeback win on Nov. 3.

* Wednesday is highlighted by NHL on TNT’s Veterans Appreciation Night Presented by Navy Federal Credit Union doubleheader capped with Golden Knights captain Mark Stone needing three points to pass Jonathan Marchessault for the most in franchise history.

KAPRIZOV, HUGHES PLAY OT HEROES TO HELP WILD EXTEND ROAD WIN STREAK

After the Canadiens tied the game with less than two minutes left in regulation, Kirill Kaprizov (1-0—1) and Quinn Hughes (0-1—1) combined to provide the overtime heroics and help the Central Division-leading Wild earn their sixth consecutive road win – their longest since 2019-20 (6-0-0).

* Kaprizov scored his 17th goal of the season – the second most in the League behind Leon Draisaitl (18) – and tied for the third most by a player through 20 games in a season since 2016-17. The only players with more in the past decade are Draisaitl (20 in 2021-22) and Auston Matthews (18 in 2020-21). Of note, Draisaitl (18 G in 19 GP) is set to skate in his 20th game of the season tonight.

* Hughes became the second-fastest defenseman in NHL history to reach 80 points with a franchise (11-69—80 in 68 GP). The only other blueliner to reach the mark in fewer than 68 games is Paul Coffey (53 GP w/ PIT).

MERCER SCORES TWICE AGAINST FORMER TEAM, JETS SOAR TO FOURTH STRAIGHT WIN

Just two and a half weeks after being traded from the Devils to the Jets in a blockbuster trade that saw Connor Hellebuyck go the other way, Dawson Mercer netted a pair of goals against his former team to help Winnipeg soar to a fourth consecutive victory. Mercer's first tally came just 7:54 into the contest, the fastest goal by a Jets skater in their first game versus their former team since the club returned to Winnipeg in 2011-12.

* Kyle Connor (2-0—2) and Mark Scheifele (0-1—1) combined on the same power-play goal for the 82nd time and tied Vyacheslav Kozlov and Ilya Kovalchuk for the second-most instances in franchise history behind Dale Hawerchuk and Paul MacLean (103).

* Scheifele, who tallied his 550th career assist to tie Hawerchuk and Blake Wheeker for second most in Jets franchise history behind Thomas Steen (553), is also just three goals and three points back of Hawerchuk’s club records in those categories.

BLUES, AVALANCHE EARN WINS AFTER VETERANS honored in St. Louis, Toronto

Jimmy Snuggerud and Gabriel Landeskog vaulted their teams to victories after veterans were honored in St. Louis and Toronto ahead of Veterans and Remembrance Day in the U.S. and Canada, respectively:

* Snuggerud scored the game-winning goal and had an assist to reach 69 points through 95 career contests while helping the Blues beat the Red Wings. His 69 career points mark the most by a St. Louis player prior to his 100th game since Nelson Emerson, who had 78 through his 99th contest exactly 34 years ago on Nov. 10, 1992.

* Landeskog accounted for both of the Avalanche’s go-ahead tallies as Colorado rallied past Toronto via its fifth six-goal game this season, which tied Boston and Carolina for the most in the NHL. Landeskog logged his 47th career game-winning goal to pass former teammate Mikko Rantanen (46) and match Michel Goulet for fourth place on the franchise’s all-time list.

* Bob Schultz, a 104-year-old World War II veteran, dropped the ceremonial puck at Enterprise Center and received a handshake of gratitude from every player in the Blues’ lineup. The Maple Leafs also honored veterans Roy Payne, 87, Joe Kennedy, 101, William King, 102, and Ed Pyette, 102, during a pre-game ceremony at Scotiabank Arena, before 48th Highlanders of Canada pipe major Alexander Brown performed “Amazing Grace.”

FORSBERG, OVECHKIN, TKACHUK, MATTHEWS FEATURED IN #NHLSTATS: LIVE UPDATES

Tuesday’s edition of #NHLStats: Live Updates had more notes from the seven-game slate. Some highlights include:

* Filip Forsberg scored both Predators goals and Juuse Saros stopped all 30 shots he faced to record his 28th career shutout and match Niklas Backstrom for the sixth most in NHL history by a Finnish goaltender as Nashville notched its fifth straight win while jumping into third place in the Central Division. That list is topped by Saros’ former partner, Pekka Rinne (60), who was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame on Monday.

* Alex Ovechkin (0-1—1) factored on Cole Hutson’s overtime winner and tied Nicklas Backstrom (762) for the most assists in Capitals history as Washington defeated Ottawa at Canadian Tire Centre. Hutson (20 years, 135 days) became the third-youngest Capitals player to score an overtime goal, behind those same two players: Backstrom (20 years, 0 days on Nov. 23, 2007) and Ovechkin (20 years, 118 days on Jan. 13, 2006).

* Matthew Tkachuk assisted on Sam Bennett’s second goal to help the Panthers beat the Blue Jackets while extending his point streak versus Columbus to 16 games since Dec. 4, 2018. Tkachuk and his dad, new Hockey Hall of Fame member Keith (15 GP from Dec. 1, 2001 – March 31, 2006), are the only father-son duo in NHL history to each have a point streak of at least 15 contests against the same franchise.

* Auston Matthews picked up the primary helper on Darren Raddysh’s first career goal with his hometown Maple Leafs. Raddysh’s tally was clocked with a shot speed of 92.89 mph according to NHL EDGE, the fourth hardest resulting in a goal this season behind Arber Xhekaj (97.22 mph on Nov. 5), Travis Sanheim (95.71 mph on Oct. 1) and Rasmus Dahlin (92.95 mph on Nov. 6).

* Toronto was one of 14 teams in action Tuesday, which marked the 51-year anniversary of the SS Edmund Fitzgerald sinking. Matthews (2024-25 – Present) and teammate John Tavares (2019-20 – 2023-24) have both donned the ”C” for the Maple Leafs, as did the late musician Gordon Lightfoot who memorialized the tragedy with his 1976 folk rock ballad "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald."

QUICK CLICKS

* Nikolaj Ehlers excited to see family, represent Hurricanes at Global Series Finland

* Carey Price receives standing ovation at Ring of Honour induction

* Joe Pavelski, Rod Brind'Amour, Meghan Duggan among Class of 2027 candidates

* Avalanche seeking road forward on four-game trip

* NHL expands media rights agreement with RTL Deutschland for free-to-air coverage

STONE COULD BREAK VEGAS POINTS RECORD ON TNT’S VETERANS APPRECIATION NIGHT

Wednesday’s slate includes an NHL on TNT doubleheader during its annual NHL Veterans Appreciation Night Presented by Navy Federal Credit Union when the Sabres host the Lightning before the Mammoth visit the Golden Knights, who could have a new outright all-time points leader should Mark Stone find the score sheet thrice.

* The first half of the TNT doubleheader also has players approaching milestones: Nikita Kucherov is two tallies away from becoming the second skater in Lightning history with 200 road goals, while Tage Thompson is one shy of his 200th career assist. Thompson (546 GP) can become the ninth-fastest active U.S.-born skater to have both 200 goals and assists – Auston Matthews (412 GP) was fastest.

* Stone, who is the only captain in Golden Knights history, needs three points to overtake Jonathan Marchessault (417) as Vegas’ all-time leading scorer but his opponent tonight won’t make it easy – the Mammoth will seek revenge on the Golden Knights in their first meeting since suffering a defeat in Game 6 of the 2026 First Round. Three-point games is one of the franchise records Stone already holds, along with overall multi-point games and five-point outings.

#PatrioticPeachy #NHLPeachy @NHL @NHLUnites NHL, Buffalo Sabres, and Vegas Golden Knights Erase $1.5 Million of Debt for U.S. Veterans

2026 NHL Veterans Appreciation Night on TNT Sports Platforms presented by Navy Federal Credit Union Doubleheader to Feature Buffalo Sabres and Vegas Golden Knights Military Appreciation Efforts

The National Hockey League (NHL), Buffalo Sabres, and Vegas Golden Knights today announced they have erased $1.5 million of debt for U.S. veterans in recognition of Veterans Day. The NHL’s partnership with ForgiveCo will provide debt relief and aid to more than 600 veterans and their families.

This season, all 32 Clubs are saluting and honoring military members, veterans, and their families with themed games or special in-game moments. Tonight’s 2026 NHL Veterans Appreciation Night on TNT Sports Platforms presented by Navy Federal Credit Union doubleheader will feature the Sabres and the Golden Knights at home, with both Clubs hosting their annual military appreciation night. The broadcast will include interviews with Sabres forward Tage Thompson who sponsors ‘Tickets for Troops,’ and Golden Knights defenseman Noah Hanifin, who has multiple family members who have served.

Tonight, the Sabres and Golden Knights are also hosting veterans who are recipients of the debt relief initiative. Of the $1.5 million of debt being erased, $400,000 is directly supporting veterans in Western New York and $500,000 is directly supporting veterans in Las Vegas, Nevada.

In Buffalo, U.S. Army veteran Milton J. Nolan is attending the game with his family. Nolan served four years on active duty, including during Desert Storm, as well as service in Korea. Through Operation Line Shift, medical debt due to his battle with appendix cancer was erased. In Las Vegas, U.S. Army veteran James King is attending the game with his family. King served for eight years, and his medical debt associated with his wife’s hospitalization was erased.

To date, the NHL and its Clubs have forgiven $3.75 million in debt, helping more than 2,100 veterans and their families as part of ‘Operation Line Shift,’ the NHL’s military initiative which is committed to honoring and supporting the military community. Last week, the Pittsburgh Penguins eliminated $1 million of medical debt for local veterans. Earlier this year, the NHL erased $1.25 million of debt during the Stanley Cup Playoffs alongside Dallas Stars forward Jason Robertson, who shines a spotlight on the bravery and sacrifice of military families with his program ‘JR’s Heroes,’ supported by the Dallas Stars Foundation.

ForgiveCo purchases debt for veterans and removes any collection marks from the beneficiary’s credit report. Since 2021, ForgiveCo has erased millions of dollars of debt for thousands of people across the U.S. by purchasing large portfolios of debt for a fraction of the original cost.

As part of the NHL’s ‘Operation Line Shift’ military initiative, the League continues to donate to partner Warrior for Life Fund which supports active duty, veterans, and their families through sport; and to United Heroes League whose mission is to keep children of service members active and healthy through sport. Last month, League employees and alumni participated in the Heroes Cup Hockey Tournament with proceeds providing mortgage-free homes to Gold Star and fallen first responder families. Additionally, the NHL is a founding partner of the Sports & Fitness Industry Association’s VetsEXCEL Career Development and Mentorship Program designed to help veterans transition to civilian life.

Anaheim Ducks left wing Cutter Gauthier, New Jersey Devils center Jack Hughes and Nashville Predators goaltender Juuse Saros have been named the NHL’s “Three Stars” presented by GEICO for the week ending Nov. 8.

FIRST STAR – CUTTER GAUTHIER, LW, ANAHEIM DUCKS

(note from the editor: the Anaheim Ducks were covered in New York at MSG here recently and we told you they are the greatest and Peachy sees a Stanley Cup in their future...these Ducks are on fire and the most exciting team in the sports world today)

Gauthier led the NHL with 8-2—10, highlighted by a pair of hat tricks and three game-winning goals, in four contests to help the Ducks (10-7-1, 21 points) climb into third place in the Pacific Division by improving to 5-0-0 in November. Gauthier, who scored three goals (including the game-winner) Nov. 1 vs. OTT (6-3 W), became the first player in Anaheim history to record a hat trick in consecutive games – as well as the first player in League history to notch multiple power-play goals in three straight contests – when he again struck three times (including the decisive goal) in a 5-4 win over the Vancouver Canucks Nov. 3. He then registered 1-1—2 in a 5-4 victory against the Edmonton Oilers Nov. 5 before notching the winning goal in a 5-3 triumph over the Calgary Flames Nov. 6. Gauthier capped the week with 3-1—4, including the decisive goal for the fourth time in his past five appearances, in a 5-2 victory against the Pittsburgh Penguins Nov. 8. In doing so, Gauthier became the seventh player in the NHL’s modern era (since 1943-44) to compile three hat tricks within a five-game span and the first to do so since Alexander Mogilny from Dec. 23, 1992 – Jan. 2, 1993 (w/ BUF). The 22-year-old Gauthier additionally tied the NHL record for hat tricks in a calendar month (last achieved by Patrik Laine in November 2018 w/ WPG) and the Ducks record for hat tricks in an entire season (last reached by Frank Vatrano in 2023-24). Gauthier (15-7—22 in 17 GP) – who places among the 2026-27 League leaders in power-play goals (1st; 10), game-winning goals (t-2nd; 4), goals (3rd; 15), shots on goal (4th; 72) and power-play points (t-4th; 14) – is the fourth different player in the past 100 years to post at least three hat tricks through his first 17 games of a season. The others: Auston Matthews (2023-24 w/ TOR), Mike Bossy (1984-85, 1983-84 and 1980-81 w/ NYI) and Bernie Nicholls (1981-82 w/ LAK). Gauthier’s 13 goals over his past six games (Oct. 29 – Nov. 8: 13-2—15) also are the most by any player in such a span since Mogilny reached that total three times in 1992-93.

SECOND STAR – JACK HUGHES, C, NEW JERSEY DEVILS

Hughes collected 3-6—9 in four games as the Devils (13-5-0, 26 points) posted a perfect week to improve to 9-1-0 in their last 10 contests dating to Oct. 20. Hughes recorded 2-1—3, his second straight multi-goal performance after tallying 2-0—2 (including the decisive goal) Oct. 30 at VGK (5-2 W), in a 4-3 shootout win over the Edmonton Oilers Nov. 3. He then registered two points in each of his next three outings, picking up two assists in a 5-4 overtime victory against the St. Louis Blues Nov. 5, 1-1—2 (highlighted by his League-leading third overtime goal of the season) in a 5-4 triumph versus the New York Islanders Nov. 7 and two helpers in a 4-0 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs Nov. 8. The 25-year-old Hughes, who has notched multiple points in five consecutive team games for the second time in his career (also Jan. 22 – Feb. 6, 2023: 6-5—11 in 5 GP), tops New Jersey and ranks 11th in the entire NHL with 9-16—25 through 18 total appearances in 2026-27.

THIRD STAR – JUUSE SAROS, G, NASHVILLE PREDATORS

Saros denied 53 of the 55 shots he faced across two starts, compiling a 2-0-0 record, 1.00 goals-against average and .964 save percentage to help lift the Predators (8-4-5, 21 points) into the first Wild Card position in the Western Conference. He made 29 saves, including 12 in the third period, in a 4-1 win over the Carolina Hurricanes Nov. 3 – handing the defending Stanley Cup champions just their third regulation loss of the season (14-3-2). Saros then turned aside 24 of 25 shots in a 3-1 triumph against the St. Louis Blues Nov. 7 as Nashville extended its winning streak to four games dating to Oct. 31. The 31-year-old Saros has earned points in nine of his 12 total outings this season, going 5-3-4 with a 2.26 goals-against average and .911 save percentage.

GEICO’s “Fourth Star” program shines a light on the fans who bring energy, passion and unwavering support to their teams. It feels good to go all in with the loudest, proudest fans. Click here to review last season’s “Fourth Star” videos.

#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).

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.
