A lively Sunday in the NHL featured scoring milestones, an unstoppable trio, injuries to key players, a line brawl and a struggling star winger.
Here are the best stories:
Jets' Little big man
Centre Bryan Little notched his team-leading fifth goal in eight games this season with 25 seconds left in overtime to lead the Winnipeg Jets to a 2-1 victory over visiting Colorado. Jets captain Andrew Ladd recorded the 200th assist of his NHL career on the play after opening the scoring in the first period with his 100th goal with the Jets franchise. Jamie McGinn was the lone Avalanche player to beat Ondrej Pavelec, who made 22 saves for his third win of the season against four losses for Winnipeg (3-5-0), which remains last in the NHL Western Conference. Colorado counterpart Semyon Varlamov turned aside 26 of 28 shots for the 2-5-2 Avalanche.
That '70s Line runs roughshod
We first heard of the Kings' That '70s line with regularity late last regular season. Now, we seem to be hearing about Jeff Carter, Tyler Toffoli and Tanner Pearson on a daily basis early in the 2014-15 season. They combined for 10 points as the Kings capped a 6-0 homestand with a 5-2 win over the visiting Columbus Blue Jackets. The trio has 16 of L.A.'s first 22 goals this season and have combined for 17 assists. The news wasn't all positive for L.A., which lost top forward Anze Kopitar to an upper-body injury in the second period. Columbus left-winger Nick Foligno exited midway through the third when his head met the elbow of linesman Shane Heyer.
Sens can't buy win in Chicago
Craig Anderson made 43 saves in the Ottawa Senators net, including an Andrew Shaw penalty shot, but it wasn't enough to prevent a sixth straight defeat at Chicago's United Center since March 28, 2001. Jonathan Toews and Brent Seabrook scored as the Blackhawks (5-2-1) eked out a 2-1 win to snap a two-game losing skid and improve to 4-0-1 on home ice. Patrick Kane assisted on Toews's goal for his 500th NHL point. Milan Michalek scored his first of the season for the 4-2-1 Senators, converting an Alex Chiasson pass on a 3-on-1 short-handed rush.
Fight night in Anaheim
The San Jose Sharks and hometown Anaheim Ducks turned back the clock and made like Philadelphia's Broad Street Bullies of the 1970s. The Pacific Division rivals combined for 165 penalty minutes, racking up five fighting majors and eight game misconducts in the third period. John Scott and Tim Jackman led the respective squads with 22 and 21 penalty minutes, respectively, as the 5-4-1 Sharks won 4-1 to had Anaheim just its second loss in regulation (7-2-0) this season.
Canucks keep Ovie quiet
Radim Vrbata's strong start as a Vancouver Canuck continued as he fired his team-leading fifth goal in eight games and added an assist in a 4-2 doubling of the visiting Washington Capitals. Vrbata has 10 points playing on Vancouver's top line with Daniel and Henrik Sedin, who scored a power-play goal against the Capitals (4-2-2). Washington left-winger Alex Ovechkin was held without a point for a fourth consecutive start after scoring five goals in a three-game span. Ryan Miller earned his fifth win for the Canucks (5-3-0) with a 20-save performance. Vancouver is 13-2-2 versus the Capitals since the start of the 1998-99 season, including 8-0-1 at home.
Capitals' star Alex Ovechkin is pointless in 4 games. How long will the slump last?
