December 7

NHL

Brian Gionta scored the first goal in the Buffalo / Vancouver game, but Buffalo would go on to lose 5-2. It was a weird, almost high-stick goal that came off of a Vancouver giveaway.

December 8

NHL

Patrick Eaves scored the first goal of the game for Dallas (and his first goal of the season).

Dallas went on to defeat Carolina in this game, but Noah Hanifin did contribute 2 assists to the Hurricanes offense.

Cory Schneider made 35 regulation saves for the Devil, but NJ went on to lose in the shootout.

December 9

AHL

Michael Matheson scored Portland's third goal in their 5-1 victory over Springfield.

NHL

Cam Atkinson scored two goal to try to lead a Columbus comeback, but his team lost to Winnipeg. Here's the prettier of the two goals - the second goal was a rebound with a lot of traffic in front of the net.

Johnny Gaudreau picked up an assist and the GWG in Calgary's 4-3 victory over Buffalo with a classic Johnny one-timer. After some early struggles, Calgary seems to have found their stride again - and more goals from Johnny Hockey can only be helping.

December 11

Cory Schneider made 27 saves to lead New Jersey to an OT victory over Detroit. Stephen Gionta assisted on NJ's first goal of the game.

Chris Kreider recorded a goal and an assist in NY's 7-5 loss to Edmonton. It almost looked like Kreids was going to pass the puck across the net to Kevin Hayes, but he snuck it past the goalie himself instead.

Brian Dumoulin picked up his second assist of the week in Pittsburgh's loss to LA.

AHL

Patrick Brown recorded an assist in Charlotte's victory over Texas.

Peter Harrold picked up 2 assists, bringing his weekly total to 5, in Chicago's loss to lake Erie.

December 12

NHL

Kevin Hayes and Chris Kreider both picked up assists in NY's loss to Calgary. Kreider was also assessed a penalty for tripping Johnny Gaudreau.

Gaudreau had a 3 point game for the Flames, scoring two goals and assisting on the game winner. The first goal came unassisted off of a Rangers giveaway (as the announcers mentioned, Gaudreau is not the player to turn over a puck to). The second goal was a classic Johnny Hockey breakaway.

Cam Atkinson scored with a fast shot from the slot to tie the game for Columbus, but the Blue Jackets fell to the Islanders in OT.

AHL

Bill Arnold recorded an assist in Stockton's loss to Texas, while John Muse recorded 32 saves for the Stars to lead them to victory.
