Edmonton Oilers center Connor McDavid, New Jersey Devils left wing Jesper Bratt and Minnesota Wild goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury have been named the NHL's "Three Stars" for the week ending Oct. 30.
 

Devan Dubnyk announced his retirement from the NHL on Saturday after 12 seasons.

The 36-year-old goalie last played in 2020-21, when he went 6-11-2 with a 3.20 goals-against average and .895 save percentage in 22 games (18 starts) for the San Jose Sharks and Colorado Avalanche.

And now Phil Kessel stands alone.

Kessel became the NHL's new "iron man" on Tuesday -- and did so in style, scoring his 400th career goal in the Vegas Golden Knights' 4-2 win over the San Jose Sharks at SAP Center in San Jose, California. The 35-year-old winger has now appeared in 990 consecutive games, a streak that started Nov. 3, 2009.

"I was happy to get it,'' Kessel said. "It was a special night. I'm glad to get the win.''

Phil Kessel tied the NHL record for consecutive games played when he hit the ice for the Vegas Golden Knights against the visiting Toronto Maple Leafs on Monday night.

Kessel, 35, played in his 989th straight NHL game, a streak that began on Nov. 3, 2009, when Kessel was a member of the Leafs. That tied the record established by Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Keith Yandle last season, a streak that ended on March 29, 2022. 

Phil Kessel has a playful smirk on his face, the kind of look that says: "You really expect me to know that?"

The Vegas Golden Knights forward, sitting in his stall at City National Arena after practice Friday, has just been asked if he remembers the last time he missed an NHL game. Given the fact that he is on the verge of becoming the all-time ironman in the NHL, you'd expect him to know. Most players would. 

But Kessel is not most players. 

"No idea," the 35-year-old forward said. "You'll have to look that up."

Buffalo Sabres defenseman Rasmus Dahlin, Ottawa Senators left wing Brady Tkachuk and New Jersey Devils goaltender Mackenzie Blackwood have been named the NHL's "Three Stars" for the week ending Oct. 23.
 

Pittsburgh Penguins center Sidney Crosby, Edmonton Oilers center Connor McDavid and Dallas Stars goaltender Jake Oettinger have been named the NHL's "Three Stars" for the week ending Oct. 16.
 

Bruce Boudreau would've preferred to get his 600th NHL win in one of the Vancouver Canucks' first two games this season or their finale last season.

Instead, the Canucks coach has a chance to reach the milestone in familiar surroundings against the Washington Capitals at Capital One Arena on Monday.
