Florida Panthers goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky kept the New Jersey Devils from scoring on Thursday night, logging a 31-save shutout in a 1 -0 win. This was a big bounce-back performance from Bobrovsky after he gave up five goals in Monday's 8-5 victory over the Vancouver Canucks. On Thursday, Bobrovsky became one of only three netminders with multiple shutouts this season. He has posted a 10-5-0 record while allowing 2.62 goals with a .893 save percentage. Colorado's Scott Wedgewood (12) is the only goalie in the league with more wins this campaign. Given Florida's injury problems, Bobrovsky's start to the season has been very impressive.

Columbus Blue Jackets center Adam Fantilli had a three-point game on Thursday night against the Toronto Maple Leafs, lifting his team to a 3-2 overtime victory on the road. Fantilli produced two goals and one assist, including the game-winning tally in overtime. He had a great sidekick in Zach Werenski, who recorded assists on all three Columbus goals. After a slow start to the month, Fantilli has picked up a lot of momentum in recent weeks, posting three multi-point efforts across his last eight outings. The 21-year-old sits on eight goals and 16 points through 21 games overall. Six of Fantilli's goals have come in his past seven games.

New York Islanders goaltender Ilya Sorokin performed admirably in Thursday's matchup against the Detroit Red Wings, finishing a 5-0 road victory with his second shutout of the season. Sorokin collected his fourth victory in five starts, making 29 saves. It's his 24th career shutout with the Islanders, and Sorokin now needs only one more clean sheet to tie Glenn Resch for the franchise record. After a rocky start to the season, Sorokin has reclaimed a spot among the NHL's best shot-stoppers, going 5-1-1 over his last seven appearances. The hot streak has improved Sorokin's record for the season to 7-5-2, and he has a 2.71 goals-against average with a .905 save percentage.

Washington Capitals winger Alex Ovechkin scored his 33rd career hat trick and registered an assist in Thursday's 8-4 road victory over the Montreal Canadiens. He netted an early power-play goal and had two goals inside the final minutes of play, including one in an empty-net situation. With a four-point performance on Thursday, Ovechkin entered the NHL's all-time top 10 scoring list, surpassing Joe Sakic. The Capitals captain boasts 1,643 points (907 goals, 736 assists) in 1,512 career games. Ovechkin had a slow start to the season but is now firing on all cylinders. The veteran star has lit the lamp in four straight games, increasing his scoring total to 20 points (10 goals, 10 assists) over 21 games played.
