"Despite outshooting them 37-16, the Panthers couldn't fully dig themselves out of a two-goal hole and dropped a 5-3 decision to Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins on Thursday. Brad Marchand continued his hot start, scoring a power-play goal and at even-strength to try to bring his team back. Sam Reinhart notched a third period power-play goal off a return pass from Mackie Samsokevich, who also set up Marchand's PPG. The Cats have now lost five of their last six games."
"The Golden Knights are one of two teams who have yet to lose in regulation. Vegas posted a convincing 4-1 win over Carolina in their last outing, handing the Hurricanes their first loss of the season on Tuesday at T-Mobile Arena. Bruce Cassidy's team is on a four-game winning streak and number one center Jack Eichel leads the league in scoring with 16 points."
