And Davidson has enjoyed the support of his teammates while heading up
the Canadiens' Movember team this year, a daunting responsibility
considering Montreal's first leader in the men's health fundraising
effort was George Parros, now the head of the NHL Department of Player
Safety.
"Yeah, no kidding, that is Chris Kunitz Authentic Jersey the mustache," Davidson said. "We've got a few good contenders on our
team right now. I think Joe Morrow, kind of the big old handlebars, and
Jeff Petry's got quite the Ned Flanders one on. So, I mean, it's a great
cause and I loved to see the guys jump on board."If it seems like the
Vegas Golden Knights are setting some sort of record almost every day,
it's because they are.
Their 4-2 win at the Arizona Coyotes on Saturday was their fifth in a
row, the second time they've won five consecutive games in their first
season. That matches the total of five-game winning streaks by Conor Sheary Authentic Jersey first-year teams during the NHL's first 99 seasons; the 1926-27 New
York Rangers and 1979-80 Edmonton Oilers each did it once.
The win at Arizona was the 15th in 22 games for the Golden Knights,
making them the fastest first-year team in NHL history to reach 15 wins;
the 1926-27 Rangers had been the fastest by doing it in 25 (15-7-3).
The Golden Knights have already won more games in less than two months
than the first-year Washington Capitals (8-67, five ties in 1974-75),
Ottawa Senators (10-70, four ties in 1992-93), New York Islanders
(12-60, six ties in 1972-73) and Atlanta Thrashers (14-57-4 with seven
ties in 1999-2000) managed in a full season.The Golden Knights also have
another streak going: They've knocked out the starting goaltender in
each of their past three games. Jonathan Quick of the Los Angeles Kings
was lifted after allowing three first-period goals Sunday, Martin Daniel Sprong Authentic Jersey Jones of the San Jose Sharks was pulled after Vegas took a 3-1 lead 10
seconds into their game Friday, and Scott Wedgewood of the Coyotes was
replaced at 9:05 of the second period after Vegas scored three goals in a
span of 1:42.
Vegas is trying to become the first NHL expansion team to have a winning
record in its first season. The closest teams have been the 1967-68
Philadelphia Flyers (31-32, 11 ties) and the 1993-94 Florida
PanthersIt's a pretty safe bet that San Jose Sharks defenseman Brent
Burns won't match the 29 goals he scored last season while winning the
Norris Trophy. But at least he's no longer scoreless.
Burns had 84 shots on goal in the Sharks' first 20 games, but no goals.
He ended his drought on Friday when he scored 8:08 into the second
period of the game against the Golden Knights. The goal came on his
first shot of the game and 85th of the season.
With Burns finally in the goal column, Chicago Blackhawks defenseman
Duncan Keith, a two-time Norris Trophy winner, inherits the distinction
of having taken the most shots on goal this season without scoring.
Keith has no goals on 52 shots, three more than Buffalo Sabres
defenseman Marco Scandella. Jason Chimera of the New York Islanders, a
20-goal scorer in each of the past two seasons, leads all scoreless
forwards with 35 shots.
