Happy hump day!

🦈 Anthony Duclair scores a goal and adds an assist as Sharks beat Flyers 2-1 for 1st win of the season. Duclair redirected a Kevin Labanc feed to the back of the net just 1:43 into the game before setting up William Eklund for the power play one-timer late in the 2nd for what proved to be the game winner. Mackenzie Blackwood made 38 saves as the Sharks handed the Flyers their 5th loss in six games. The San Jose Sharks avoided making history as their 11-game losing streak entering last night’s matchup was tied for the longest such streak to start an NHL season. Read more →

Jonathan Quick collected 25 saves while Vince Trocheck scored twice and rookie Will Cuylle scored his third of the season as the Rangers improve to 7-0-1 in their last eight games. Read more →
