Quinton Byfield had two goals and an assist, Cam Talbot earned a shutout and the Los Angeles Kings beat the Montreal Canadiens 4-0 Thursday night for their NHL record 11th road victory to open the season.

The Kings (16-4-3), who eclipsed the mark of 10 straight road wins set by the Buffalo Sabres in 2006-07, are one road win away from matching the NHL record of 12 consecutive road victories at any point during the season.

Connor Hellebuyck stopped all 32 shots he faced, Dylan Samberg and Mason Appleton each had two assists and the Winnipeg Jets shut out the Florida Panthers 3-0 on Friday night.

Nino Niederreiter, Nikolaj Ehlers and Adam Lowry scored for the Jets in coach Rick Bowness' return from personal leave. Winnipeg is 12-5-2 on the season and went 9-2-2 under interim coach Scott Arniel while Bowness was away.

After a miserable month, the San Jose Sharks finally have something to celebrate.

The Colorado Avalanche spent the last six months essentially invincible on the road and the last two weeks unbeatable anywhere.

It all came to a crashing halt on Thursday in Pittsburgh.

The Avalanche's perfect start is over. Their NHL-record road winning streak too after three periods in which the Penguins provided a glimpse of the team they hope they can become far more regularly than they've shown during an uneven start.

Reilly Smith scored twice, Tristan Jarry stopped 31 shots and Pittsburgh snapped Colorado's road run at 15 games with a decisive 4-0 victory.

Even when they're not playing their best, the Colorado Avalanche find ways to keep winning.

Mikko Rantanen scored the tiebreaking goal in the third period and had three assists as the Avalanche beat the New York Islanders 7-4 on Tuesday night for their NHL record 15th straight road win.

 Connor Bedard did everything but score a goal in his NHL debut.

And the Chicago Blackhawks rookie still stole the show.

The No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 draft made his much-heralded premiere Tuesday night and lived up to the billing while notching his first NHL point in Chicago's 4-2 win over Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins.

The day it was announced Las Vegas was getting an NHL team. The way that team became a symbol of a city that was in pain before the Golden Knights even played a game. The big trades that saw them get the stars who have built their win-at-all-costs mentality.

Moments such as these have defined the Vegas Golden Knights. And with Tuesday marking the sixth anniversary of their first game, those events were instrumental when they raised their first Stanley Cup banner before playing the Seattle Kraken at T-Mobile Arena.

The Carolina Hurricanes begin the NHL season as the consensus betting favorites to win the Stanley Cup at sportsbooks.

The Vegas Golden Knights received their 2023 Stanley Cup championship rings, filled with symbolism and surprises, during a ceremony Sunday night.
