- Congrats to Rod Brind’Amour on setting some amazing history last night:
Rod Brind’Amour earned his 100th career NHL coaching win in his 173rd game. He tied Toe Blake as the 12th-fastest head coach in NHL history to reach the milestone, and he is the second-fastest among active NHL head coaches (Todd McLellan).

Pesce was fined $5,000 for this play. That’s the maximum fine under the current CBA. https://t.co/5rQgqfUPzY

- Speaking of fines, Alex Ovechkin was only fined $5k for this play further proving the NHL safety protocols need a major overhaul:
