Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen Bags a Shutout in Vegas
Buffalo Sabres goaltender Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen recorded a 28-save shutout in Tuesday's 2-0 road win against the Vegas Golden Knights. The Finnish netminder played a key role in a tight contest, which featured a late first-period goal and an empty-netter inside the final minute of play. Buffalo established a new franchise record with an 11-game point streak. Luukkonen, who picked up his first shutout of the season, appears to enjoy traveling, as he has won six consecutive road starts. Overall, he boasts a 16-8-2 record, a 2.60 goals-against average, and a .909 save percentage. Luukkonen has been splitting starts with Alex Lyon for several weeks, so he will likely skip Thursday's matchup with San Jose and return to work on Saturday against L.A.

Brock Boeser Logs Three Assists Tuesday
Vancouver Canucks winger Brock Boeser finished Tuesday's 5-2 victory over the Florida Panthers with three assists. The Canucks made a hot start in front of their home crowd, with Boeser already celebrating a hat trick of assists after the first period. Two of his helpers came on the power play. Boeser has had a tough year, and he has only now reached his second three-game point streak of the season. The 29-year-old has managed one goal and five assists during the run, giving him 35 points (16 goals, 19 assists) in 60 games for the season. Boeser's hot streak will face a major test in the next matchup, as Vancouver gets ready to host the Tampa Bay Lightning, who have the league's fourth-best defensive record.

Brock Faber Registers Three Assists in Overtime Win
Minnesota Wild defenseman Brock Faber stood out as a playmaker in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win against the Chicago Blackhawks, recording three assists. He had a pair of helpers in the first period, including a power-play assist, and added a third one to his tally in overtime when Mats Zuccarello finished the game. Faber was also actively chasing a goal, ending with five shots on net. His defensive efforts included three hits. In his previous four outings, Faber had managed only one point, so he will be relieved to be back on track. The defensive talent will now look to start a point streak on Thursday in a rematch with the Blackhawks. Across 69 games this season, Faber has totaled 46 points (14 goals, 32 assists) and sits just two away from setting a new career-high.

This was already Coyle's third four-point game of the season, which ties a single-season franchise record. He's been an excellent fit for the Blue Jackets, and Coyle might reach his new scoring record at 34 years old. The veteran is currently five points shy of tying his all-time best, with 55 points (17 goals, 38 assists) in 67 games.
