• For the first time in NHL history, four teams are simultaneously riding an active win streak of eight-plus games after the Panthers, Oilers, Jets and Kraken all earned wins Thursday.
• Elias Pettersson (2-2—4) and Mathew Barzal (1-3—4) both posted four-point nights capped by game-winning tallies, to help the Canucks and Islanders overcome multi-goal performances from Sidney Crosby and Auston Matthews, respectively.
• Thursday produced an NHL-first – there are four teams with simultaneous winning streaks of at least eight games after the Panthers (9-0-0 dating to Dec. 23), Oilers (9-0-0 dating to Dec. 21), Jets (8-0-0 dating to Dec. 30) and Kraken (8-0-0 dating to Dec. 20) all earned victories.
• Elias Pettersson became the sixth player in Canucks history with 10 career four-point outings – only Pavel Bure (11) and Trevor Linden (11) have more – and boosted his totals through his past four contests to 7-5—12. His seven goals are the most by a Canucks player over a four-game span since Mikael Samuelsson in 2009-10 (7-3—10).
• NHL Central Scouting will release its mid-season rankings for the 2024 Upper Deck NHL Draft today at 11 a.m. ET. Full rankings will be available on NHL.com.
