Turns out that game against the Colorado Avalanche on Nov. 1 and his adjustment leading up to it helped turn around the Sharks and Askarov's season. Three days after he allowed four goals in 14 shots in a loss to the Los Angeles Kings, Askarov stymied the dangerous Avalanche on Nov. 1 by making 36 saves to help the Sharks pull out a 3-2 win on Philipp Kurashev's overtime goal.

November has been a month of transformation for New York Islanders goaltender Ilya Sorokin, and maybe the month that rewrites his entire season and that of his team. After a rocky start that had Islanders fans uneasy, Sorokin has flipped the narrative and reasserted himself as one of the NHL's premier goaltenders.

There's a strange phenomenon brewing in the Western Conference. If you only watched the Los Angeles Kings on their home ice at Crypto.com Arena, you might write them off as a team struggling to find its footing, a group battling an early-season slump. To date, they've managed just a single victory in their own building. But if you caught them anywhere else-in Pittsburgh, Montreal, or virtually any other hostile NHL arena-you'd be watching one of the most formidable, balanced, and successful teams in the league.

Before Tuesday night, through the first three games of Toronto's season, Matthews had a total of 17 shots on goal and a wild 30 shot attempts. Thirty times the centerman threw the puck towards the net to try and get a goal and just once, with the net empty, he was able to actually put the puck over the goal line during those three contests.
