Avalanche's Nathan MacKinnon: Scorching start continues
MacKinnon had a goal and an assist in a 3-2 shootout loss to the Wild on Friday.
MacKinnon has five goals in his past five games and leads the NHL with 19 this season. He also leads the league in points (41). MacKinnon's scorching start -- the best of his career -- has made him the early-season favorite for this year's Hart Trophy. He won the Hart in 2023-24.

Jets' Mark Scheifele: Scores lone goal in defeat
Scheifele scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Friday's 5-1 loss to the Hurricanes.
Scheifele's goal was all the Jets could muster on a paltry 13 shots in this contest. The 32-year-old has remained excellent even as the team around him has been limited to two wins over the last seven games. In that span, he has four goals and five assists. Scheifele is up to 13 goals, 30 points, 54 shots on net, 16 PIM and a plus-6 rating through 23 outings overall.

Justin Robidas C | CAR
Hurricanes' Justin Robidas: Gets first point of NHL campaign
Robidas logged an assist and two hits in Friday's 5-1 win over the Jets.
Robidas is up from AHL Chicago to help cover some absences up front for the Hurricanes. The 22-year-old was playing in his second game of the campaign Friday and set up Alexander Nikishin's tally in the final minute. Robidas had 12 points in 16 AHL games prior to his call-up, but he'll find it tougher to be productive in a bottom-six role while with the big club.

Cullen Potter C | CGY
Flames' Cullen Potter: Goal, assist in ASU win
Potter scored a goal and added an assist in Arizona State University's 3-2 win over Ohio State University on Friday.
Potter continues to put up decent offense this season -- he's now at four goals and eight helpers through 15 appearances. However, he's also carrying a minus-12 rating for the 6-8-1 Sun Devils. Potter's offense and skilled skating will help cover some of his defensive struggles in the long run.
