Ducks and Golden Knights Battle to Extend Their Streaks
It’s a clash of streaks as the Anaheim Ducks face off against the Vegas Golden Knights at the Honda Center (8 p.m. ET; SCRIPPS, BSSD, BSSC). Vegas (11-0-1) is riding high on a 12-game unbeaten streak to start the season, along with a four-game winning streak. They are coming off a remarkable 7-0 victory over the Colorado Avalanche, with standout player Mark Stone delivering an impressive four-point performance. Stone also etched his name in Golden Knights history by becoming the first player to score two short-handed goals in a single game. On the other side, the Ducks (6-4-0) are looking to extend their five-game winning streak, which is their longest since their eight-game streak in October-November 2021. Their recent 4-3 overtime victory against the Arizona Coyotes showcased their resilience, as it marked the fourth time this season that they made a comeback in the third period. — William Douglas, NHL.com Staff Writer
Bedard Aims to Extend His Goal Streak
Dynamic forward Connor Bedard aims to extend his goal streak as the Chicago Blackhawks take on the New Jersey Devils in a back-to-back home series (7 p.m. ET; MSGSN, NHLN, NBCSCH, SN, TVAS). Bedard, who has been in sensational form, has scored in three consecutive games, bringing his total to five goals in 10 games. At just 18 years and 110 days old, Bedard has already made history with the Blackhawks, surpassing the record previously held by Jeremy Roenick. Notably, Bedard’s stellar performance contributed to the Blackhawks’ first home victory of the season, a 5-2 win against the Florida Panthers, where he also added two assists to his impressive tally. The Devils, coming off a 4-1 loss to the St. Louis Blues, will be seeking redemption in this matchup. — David Van Diest, NHL.com Staff Writer
