Buffalo beat Nashville 5-3 to jump the Bruins, who lost 6-2 to Dallas. The Panthers have two games in hand on the Bruins."
"Stepan Gorbunov scored the go-ahead goal in the third and added a empty-netter which became the game-winner in Chelmet Chelyabinsk's 3-2 victory over HC Rostov in Wednesday action from Russia's Supreme Hockey League. Gorbunov, a sixth-rounder in 2024, has 7 goals and 14 points in 17 VHL games this season. Yegor Midlak, Florida's seventh-rounder in 2025, gave up two goals in MHK Sparta-MAH Moskva's 3-1 loss to Amurskie Tigry in action from Russia's junior MHL."
"On Saturday, the Checkers fell 4-3 when Hershey's Andrew Cristall scored a power-play goal with 46 seconds left in overtime. Wilmer Skoog, Robert Mastrosimone and Trevor Carrick scored second period goals to stake Charlotte to a 3-1 lead they would relinquish in the third. Assists were credited to Liam McLinskey (two), Colton Huard, Jake Livingstone, Jack Devine and Ben Steeves. Cooper Black took the loss, finishing with 22 saves on 26 shots."
"The Checkers bounced back with a 4-3 shootout win on Sunday. Carrick, Nolan Foote and Mike Benning scored the Charlotte goals. Assists were collected by Foote, Devine, Brian Pinho, Carrick and Mastrosimone. Pinho scored the winning (and only) goal of the shootout in the fifth round.
