The Hurricanes are now at the top of the NHL with a 15-3-1 record and 31 points.
3. Minnesota Wild takes Winnipeg Jets with 7-1 . win
Since last season, the Wild has finally become an exciting team, which it hasn’t been for very long. Once again last night, Wild put in an excellent display for their fans by scoring no fewer than seven goals against the Winnipeg Jets, who have suffered a lot lately.
Here are some of the seven goals Wilde scored last night.

Note that John Merrill scored his second goal of the season in Al Nasr.
The Wild is now 13-6-1 and sits atop the Central Division with 27 points.
4. The Anaheim Ducks beat the Senator 4-0, while Matt Murray was eliminated
Ducks are one of the sweet surprises this season. No one has seen them in great shape this year, but now they have a solid start to the season, thanks in part to the emergence of Troy Terry.
Unfortunately, Terry’s 16-game score streak was interrupted shortly before. However, his streak of games with at least one point in the house is still active. Indeed, Terry scored a goal yesterday in the Ducks win over the Senators. This was his thirteenth in the season.

Another positive point for Ducks, after having had a very slow start to the season, Trevor Zegras appears to have found rhythm in production, while adding two new passes last night to his record.
5. Another loss for the Vancouver Canucks
The Canucks lost 4-2 to the Columbus Blue Jackets despite taking 41 shots on target. It’s the eighth loss in the Canucks’ last 10 games.
In the Blue Jackets win, Gustav Nyquist, Adam Bokvist, Jack Roslovic and Max Domie scored (in an empty net).

Marchand allegedly insulted Panarin about his nationality and relationship to Russia. Really a mistake on Marchand’s part.
If true, this is *way* over the line. There are some things that you really have to be a wool-dyed idiot to enjoy, and given what Panarin and his family have been through, this is one of them. Just don’t go there. https://t.co/xkGwVkyuix
