Take a moment and think of the NHL’s best goaltenders. You know, the ones whose teams pencil their guy in for 55 starts every year. Durable. Consistent.
Brad Marchand and Elias Lindholm had goals for the Bruins, who have lost two in a row. Joonas Korpisalo finished with 21 saves.
Connor Hellebuyck is the best goalie in the NHL. Here's how he maximizes his tools and sets himself apart from the rest of the league.
Hellebuyck has been strong over the past few weeks, going 7-1-0 with a 1.63 GAA and .932 save percentage over his last eight starts, a span that includes a shutout win over Colorado on Jan. 11. His only other start against Boston so far this year was at home Dec. 10, and he turned aside 23 of 24 shots (.958 save percentage) en route to the 8-1 win.
Crosby ended up tying Colorado Avalanche legend Joe Sakic for the most multi-point games in NHL history. With a little over a minute to go in overtime, Penguins forward Cody Glass
Oilers forward Leon Draisaitl earned No. 1 status on the strength of an outstanding first four months of the season after signing an eight-year, $14-million AAV extension that will almost certainly make him the highest-paid player in 2025-26.
Hellebuyck made 27 saves in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Bruins.
Marc-Andre Fleury, playing his final game in his home province, recorded his 76th career shutout as the visiting Minnesota Wild beat the Montreal Canadiens 4-0 on Thursday.
Mark Scheifele capped a two-goal effort with the eventual game-winner and Wakefield, R.I., native Parker Ford scored in his NHL debut as the visiting Winnipeg Jets beat the Boston Bruins 6-2 on Thursday night.
The Winnipeg Jets scored four unanswered goals in the third period to beat the Boston Bruins and earn their fifth consecutive win.
BOSTON — It may be cruel to note that Elias Lindholm is now without a five-on-five point in his last 13 games. The first-year Boston Bruin scored a short-handed goal and assisted on a power-play strike in the Bruins’ 6-2 loss to the Winnipeg Jets on Thursday. It was Lindholm’s fifth multi-point game with the Bruins.
