From NHLPR:

Tuesday marked the second day in NHL history to feature multiple hat tricks by players age 20 or younger (Macklin Celebrini and Connor Bedard). The only other occurrence took place more than 80 years ago when Jack Hamilton and Bud Poile did so for the Maple Leafs on Feb. 19, 1944

From NHLPR:

We've Got the Epstein Story All Wrong In the midst of our national Epstein-mania are we missing what's really important?

The Epstein case is likely to be seen very differently by history. Certainly, it will be seen differently from how it is typically portrayed in the media. My latest. open.substack.com/pub/davidrot...

Christian McCaffrey today 7th instance of a #49ers running back since 1949 with 2+ rush TD and 1 receiving TD. He is the first SF RB to do so twice (also on Oct. 1, 2023, also vs ARI - 3 rush TD & 1 rec)

Others to do so once: Joe Perry, Bill Tucker, Delvin Williams, Roger Craig and Tevin Coleman

Philipp Grubauer the goalie of record for Seattle, his 6th career relief win, tied-most by any active NHL goalie (Petr Mrazek)

Kraken have not lost in regulation in last 93 instances when leading after 2 periods (86-0-7). Last regulation loss: Oct. 23, 2022 at Chicago

Kraken with 2 goals in a :38 span in the 2nd period. Snaps #SJSharks streak of allowing 2 goals or fewer at 8 games. Had been their longest streak since Jan. 11-23, 2010 (also 8 games).

#SJSharks Macklin Celebrini (19 years, 155 days) is 6th-youngest player in NHL history at the time of his 90th career point, and the youngest since Sidney Crosby (18-243)

#SJSharks Macklin Celebrini reached 90 points in 89 games. Previous Sharks record for fewest to 90 points from start of career was 123 games by Pat Falloon

13th penalty drawn by #SJSharks Macklin Celebrini this season, most in NHL, leads to Alex Wennberg PP goal

10 of Wennberg’s 15 goals with Sharks have been lead-changing (3 were go-ahead, 7 tied game)

Per @SportRadar, since goalie save percentage was first tracked in 1955-56, #SJSharks Yaroslav Askarov’s .971 sv pct is the highest by any NHL goalie over a 5-start span that did not include a shutout.

Yaroslav Askarov's .971 sv pct over his last 5 starts is the highest by a #SJSharks goalie over a 5-game span since Mar. 4-13, 2007 (Evgeni Nabokov, .977)

15 blocked shots were most by #SJSharks in any 1st period dating back to 2015-16 season

5 shot attempts were Sharks fewest in a 1st period since Dec. 15, 2015 at Canadiens (4 in that 1st period)

Asakarov in his last 6 starts (including tonight): .971 save pct on PK (stopped 33 of 34 shots)

51 goals by forwards are most through 17 games in #SJSharks
history

117 points by forwards are 2nd-most through 17 games in Sharks history
>123 in 2013-14

Couple of more notes from last night's #SJSharks win at Wild:

Per @SportRadar Sam Dickinson is the first teenaged defenseman in NHL history whose first career assist came in overtime

Sharks have allowed 2 goals or fewer in 7 straight games for the first time since Jan. 11-23, 2010 (8 games)

This is eye-opening and helps to explain why literacy rates in the U.S. have slipped so much.

#SJSharks Will Smith last 11 games: 7 G, 6 A

Most goals since Oct. 23, age 20 or younger:
>Macklin Celebrini SJS 8
Leo Carlsson ANA 8
>Will Smith SJS 7
Connor Bedard CHI 7

#SJSharks Macklin Celebrini and Sam Dickinson with assists on Collin Graf’s OT goal.

Per @SportRadar, 2nd time in NHL history two teenagers had points on the same OT goal (Kevin Korchinski goal assisted by Connor Bedard) on Nov. 24, 2023, CHI vs TOR. Korchinski was 19, Bedard 18.

Collin Graf youngest undrafted player in #SJSharks history (23 years, 51 days) to score an OT goal. Previous: Stephen Guolla (24-020) on April 4, 1997

5th-youngest undrafted player in draft era (since 1963) to do so on road. Youngest: Stephan Lebeau MTL (21-227) on Oct. 13, 1989 at NJD

#SJSharks with their 4th comeback win this season, first after trailing in the 3rd period.

Improve to 8-2-1 in their last 11 games. Last time they had 8 wins in an 11-game span: Nov. 12 - Dec. 3, 2019 (8-3-0)

SJ's first win since Feb. 8, 2016 (at FLA) with 18 shots or fewer and 2 goals or fewer

First power play goal allowed by #SJSharks Yaroslav Askarov in his last 5 starts. Had made 27 straight PP saves during that span before Matt Boldy's goal.

Dear Veterans,

As someone who has never served yet enjoyed the freedoms this country has to offer I can not begin to thank you adequately. I can, however, work every day to elect people that will honor their pledges to you. Thank you on this Veteran's Day.

Sincerely,

Texas Paul

Also per @sportradar.bsky.social:

Among all NHL players with 500+ career assists, whether in HHOF or not, it is the longest drought before first assist

Among all NHL players with 1000+ career points, it is also the longest drought before first point

Joe Thornton did not score a point until his 22nd NHL game (goal), and did not record an assist until his 32nd game.

Per @sportradar.bsky.social:

Among Hockey Hall of Famers, 3rd-longest drought before first point
>Red Horner (27th game), Zdeno Chara (23rd)

Longest drought before first assist
