Hello guys! Welcome back to another episode of the Hockey Talk with TG Podcast.

In this episode, we break down Alex Ovechkin’s historic 4-point night as he scored a hat trick in the Washington Capitals’ 8-4 win over the Montreal Canadiens. At 40 years old, Ovechkin ties Brett Hull for 4th in NHL history with his 33rd career hat trick and now has 907 career goals and 1,643 points, passing Joe Sakic for 10th on the NHL’s all-time points list. We also analyze the Capitals’ hot streak, including Ethan Frank and Sonny Milano’s standout performances, and what this means for the team’s playoff push.

Next, we dive into the Chicago Blackhawks’ heartbreaking loss to the Seattle Kraken in controversial fashion. Connor Bedard was on a partial breakaway in the 3rd period, slashed by Kraken defenseman Ryan Lindgren with no penalty called. Seconds later, Bedard was assessed an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, leading to Jaden Schwartz’s game-winning power play goal. We break down why the Blackhawks were robbed of victory, why this play is controversial, and the impact on both teams’ standings.

We also cover the latest NHL jersey news, including the Blackhawks’ return of their iconic third alternate black jerseys for select games this season, as part of their 100-year celebration. Plus, we take a look at the Florida Panthers and New York Rangers 2026 Winter Classic jerseys, featuring bold retro designs and historic nods that fans won’t want to miss.

Speaking of which, I wrote an article on Blackhawk Up talking about the jerseys. Did an in-depth analysis on it. Make sure to check it out: https://blackhawkup.com/chicago-blackhawks-release-black-alternate-jerseys

In Boston, the Bruins held off the Toronto Maple Leafs 5-3, marking their longest win streak since April 2023. David Pastrnak hit career milestones with his 400th and 401st goals, joining an elite group in Bruins history, while the Maple Leafs dealt with injuries to Auston Matthews and Anthony Stolarz.

Hello guys, welcome back to another episode of the Hockey Talk with TG Podcast. In this episode, we dive deep into Sunday’s NHL action, highlighting the hottest streaks, standout performances, and all the biggest headlines you need to know.

We start with the Chicago Blackhawks, who crushed the Detroit Red Wings 5-1. Chicago moves to 8-5-3 on the season and ends their road trip 3-2-1, winning three straight games and climbing to 3rd in the Central Division. Connor Bedard led the charge with a goal and two assists, extending his point streak to eight games and his goal streak to three. Bedard now leads the NHL in points with 25 in 16 games, tying Patrick Kane as the fastest Blackhawk to reach 25 points in the past 35 years. Arvid Soderblom made a career-high 45 saves in the game as well.

Next, we turn to the Carolina Hurricanes, who held off the Toronto Maple Leafs with a 5-4 comeback win in Toronto. The Canes scored three unanswered goals to secure their fourth straight win, moving to 11-4-0 on the season. Logan Stankoven scored the game-winning goal with 7:47 left in the third period.

Then we cover the Anaheim Ducks, who defeated the Winnipeg Jets 4-1 to extend their winning streak to seven games — their longest in two years. Leo Carlsson scored twice and added two power play goals, extending his point streak to 10 games, while Beckett Sennecke notched his first career two-goal game in the win.

The Ottawa Senators also came away with a 4-2 win over the Utah Mammoth, extending their point streak to five games.

Other highlights from Sunday include LA Kings’ 3-2 win over Pittsburgh, Stars’ 2-1 victory over the Kraken, Wild’s 2-0 shutout of Calgary, and Avalanche’s 5-4 OT win over Vancouver, with Nathan MacKinnon scoring five points in the game.

Looking ahead, the NHL schedule features Islanders vs Devils, Predators vs Rangers, Blue Jackets vs Oilers, and Panthers vs Golden Knights, all airing on major streaming and cable networks.

Hello guys, welcome back to another episode of The Hockey Talk with TG Podcast! In this episode, I break down the 99th career matchup between two of the greatest players in NHL history — Alex Ovechkin and Sidney Crosby — as the Penguins took down the Capitals 5–3 on Thursday night.

Sidney Crosby scored twice on the power play, giving him 10 and 11 goals on the season and tying for the league lead. The Penguins captain continues to defy age — becoming just the third-fastest player 38 or older to reach 10 goals in a season, behind Gordie Howe and Alex Ovechkin himself. Crosby now has 127 points (48G, 79A) in matchups against Ovechkin, while Ovi added two assists after scoring his 900th career NHL goal just one night earlier. It was a classic showdown between two all-time legends in their 99th meeting overall.

Next, I talk about the Anaheim Ducks lighting it up again — this time in a wild 7–5 win over the Dallas Stars. Anaheim has now scored seven goals in back-to-back games, won five straight, and sits at 9-3-1 on the season.

Chris Kreider scored twice, Cutter Gauthier extended his point streak to eight games, and Ian Moore scored his first NHL goal. Leo Carlsson had a shorthanded marker, and Mason McTavish added an empty-netter as Anaheim’s young stars continue to roll. For Dallas, Wyatt Johnston and Mikko Rantanen both had three-point nights, but the Stars’ seven-game point streak came to an end.

Then I get into the Flyers’ 3–1 win over the Predators, as Nashville’s struggles continue to mount. The Preds have now lost three straight (0-2-1) and are 5-7-4 on the season. Ryan O’Reilly scored the lone goal for Nashville, while Dan Vladar improved to 5-0-1 in his career vs. the Preds with another strong outing.

I also discuss whether Andrew Brunette could be the first coach fired this season. Nashville’s offense has dried up, turnovers are killing momentum, and frustrations from veterans like Forsberg and O’Reilly are starting to surface. GM Barry Trotz says he’s staying patient, but this team is under real pressure to turn things around — and fast.

After that, we head to New Jersey, where Jesper Bratt scored the OT winner as the Devils edged the Canadiens 4–3. Bratt also added an assist, giving the Devils their 10th win and keeping them perfect at home (6–0–0). Timo Meier tied the game late with 1:07 remaining, and Jakub Dobes suffered his first loss of the season for Montreal after starting 6–0.

I also recap other games from Thursday’s busy NHL slate:
Bruins beat the Senators 3–2 in OT thanks to Pavel Zacha’s winner, Blues shut out the Sabres 3–0, and Hurricanes, Lightning, and Panthers all grabbed statement wins to stay hot in their respective divisions.

To wrap things up, I preview Hockey Hall of Fame Weekend (Nov. 8–10) in Toronto, honoring an incredible 2025 class: Zdeno Chara, Joe Thornton, Brianna Decker, Jennifer Botterill, Duncan Keith, Alexander Mogilny, Jack Parker, and Daniele Sauvageau.

Plus, we take a look ahead at Saturday’s Hockey Night in Canada matchups:
Bruins vs Maple Leafs, Utah Mammoth vs Canadiens, Avalanche vs Oilers, and Blue Jackets vs Canucks.

Hello guys! Welcome back to another episode of The Hockey Talk with TG Podcast! 🎧

In this episode, we’re diving deep into a historic night across the NHL! Alex Ovechkin hits a legendary milestone — goal No. 900 — as the Washington Capitals dominate the St. Louis Blues 6–1. We break down Ovi’s unforgettable moment, the emotional on-ice celebration, and the controversy that erupted when Blues goalie Jordan Binnington tried to pocket the milestone puck. Plus, we look at how this achievement cements Ovechkin’s status as the greatest goal scorer of all time and what it means for the Capitals moving forward.

Then, we shift to Vancouver, where Tyler Bertuzzi records his 4th career hat trick to lead the Chicago Blackhawks to a big 5–2 road win over the Canucks, snapping an 11-game losing streak against them dating back to 2022. We’ll talk about Connor Bedard’s two-point performance, Spencer Knight’s 43-save effort, and how Chicago’s special teams came up perfect on both ends. Can this spark a turnaround for the Hawks as their road trip continues?

Over in Toronto, the Maple Leafs hold off the Utah Mammoth 5–3 on a special night as John Tavares scores his 501st career goal in front of the home crowd. We’ll break down standout performances from Auston Matthews, William Nylander, and Matthew Knies, who continues his impressive six-game point streak. The Leafs are heating up — winning five of their last six — but can they keep the momentum going through their homestand?

We’ll also cover the Calgary Flames’ 5–1 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets, featuring Nazem Kadri’s 1000th NHL game, Dustin Wolf’s stellar 42-save performance, and how Calgary finally finds consistency for the first time this season.

Finally, the San Jose Sharks are surging with a 6–1 win over the Seattle Kraken, powered by Macklin Celebrini’s three-point night. We’ll highlight the Sharks’ young core and what’s driving their recent success, as well as a look ahead at the NHL’s upcoming slate of nine exciting matchups across the league — including Capitals vs. Penguins and Lightning vs. Golden Knights.

In this episode, we’ve got a full slate of Tuesday night NHL action and one huge announcement from Dallas that’s shaking up the hockey world.

We start in New York, where Pyotr Kochetkov made his season debut and stopped all 25 shots he faced as the Carolina Hurricanes shut out the New York Rangers 3–0 at Madison Square Garden. I’ll break down how Kochetkov’s calm play in net and Carolina’s perfect penalty kill helped them come out with the win, and how Nikolaj Ehlers’ first goal as a Hurricane set the tone early.

Then we head to Montreal, where the Flyers edged out the Canadiens in a 5–4 shootout thriller. Hear how Philly blew a 3–0 lead, rallied late with Nikita Grebenkin’s first NHL goal, and finished the job thanks to Trevor Zegras’ shootout winner. I’ll also touch on Nick Suzuki’s 12-game point streak and what it says about Montreal’s consistency early in the season.

Next, we’re off to Minnesota, where the Wild pulled out a wild 3–2 overtime win over the Predators — literally. Marcus Johansson’s OT goal sparked controversy after Nashville’s goalie dislodged the net, but the call stood. We’ll unpack the NHL Situation Room’s ruling, Kirill Kaprizov’s two-point night, and how the Wild are finally stringing wins together.

Over in Dallas, the Stars kept their hot streak alive with a 4–3 shootout victory against the Oilers, thanks to Wyatt Johnston’s game-winner and a three-assist night. We’ll go over Mikko Rantanen’s 300th career goal, Connor McDavid’s 1,100th point, and what this stretch means for both teams moving forward.

Finally, we wrap with the biggest story of the night — the Dallas Stars officially being named hosts of the 2027 NHL Stadium Series at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, home of the Dallas Cowboys. We’ll talk about the league’s announcement, potential opponents, and what Commissioner Gary Bettman’s “Southern growth strategy” means for hockey in Texas.

Hello guys! Welcome back to another episode of The Hockey Talk with TG Podcast.

In this episode, I dive into a huge night around the NHL — highlighted by Jonathan Toews leading the Winnipeg Jets to a 6-3 win over his former team, the Chicago Blackhawks. It was an emotional and headline-making moment as Toews faced Chicago for the first time since leaving the team he captained for 15 seasons. He registered an assist in the victory as the Jets moved to 8-3-0 on the season.

I break down the Jets’ strong offensive showing led by Gabriel Vilardi, Kyle Connor, and Mark Scheifele, plus goaltending highlights from Connor Hellebuyck. On the other side, Teuvo Teräväinen, Alex Vlasic, and Andre Burakovsky scored for Chicago, but it wasn’t enough to stop Winnipeg’s momentum. And mark your calendars — January 19, 2026 will be a special one when Toews returns to the United Center to play in Chicago for the first time since 2023.

We also cover two massive contract extensions around the league. Logan Cooley signs an 8-year, $80M deal with the Utah Mammoth, keeping one of the NHL’s brightest young stars locked in long-term. I discuss what this move means for Utah’s future, their young core of Cooley, Dylan Guenther, JJ Peterka, and Mikhail Sergachev, and how the team is establishing a real foundation for success.

Meanwhile, Martin Nečas inks an 8-year, $92M extension with the Colorado Avalanche. I break down what his chemistry on the top line with Nathan MacKinnon and Artturi Lehkonen means for Colorado’s depth and how the Avs are re-loading for another Stanley Cup push.

We’ll also recap Thursday’s NHL action — including Anthony Cirelli’s OT winner for Tampa Bay over Dallas, Trevor Zegras’ three-point night with the Flyers, and a full slate of highlights from around the league as we head into the Halloween weekend.
