"In Toronto, the Maple Leafs commemorated St Patrick's Day by reviving their St Pats jerseys for their game against the New York Islanders. Traditionally, when the Leafs play at home on or around St Patrick's Day, the team will bring back their St Pats identity that they held prior to becoming the Maple Leafs in 1927."
"The Columbus Blue Jackets were also in the St Patrick's Day spirit, with the team putting together a themed game night and their mascot Stinger wearing a leprechaun costume for the night. The Jackets would go on to record what would be their second win on St. Patrick's Day, defeating the Carolina Hurricanes by a score of 5-1."
"In Las Vegas, the Golden Knights ran their second annual Go Green Knight game day on St Patrick's Day. The initiative seeks to combine environmental awareness, hockey, and the St Patrick's Day spirit in one game day event."
