The Columbus Blue Jackets have done something they haven’t done since March 2022. With their 3-2-0 record to start the 2023-24 season, they have more wins than losses in their record. They were able to get their third win of the season Saturday night in Minnesota without Patrik Laine in the lineup.

Maple Leafs News & Rumors: Woll, Nylander, Tavares, Domi & Knies
October 22, 2023 by The Old Prof
Last night’s game between the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Tampa Bay Lightning carried more weight than a typical regular-season game. Both teams entered the game at the .500 mark, making this game seem more urgent. The history between these two teams is filled with intensity, and Saturday night’s game was a rematch fresh from their previous postseason battle.
The game marked the first encounter between these two teams since John Tavares wrote his name into Maple Leafs history with a first-round series-clinching overtime goal in Game 6 last April. Once again, Tavares played the role of hero, scoring the game-winning goal with just 55 seconds left in the extra period.
