Gabriel Landeskog Scores Twice as Avalanche Overcome Maple Leafs
Colorado Avalanche 6, Toronto Maple Leafs 3
Colorado delivered the highest-scoring performance of the night, but its victory was far less comfortable than the final margin suggests.
Gabriel Landeskog scored twice, including the decisive third-period goal, as the Avalanche recovered immediately after Toronto had erased a two-goal deficit.
The Maple Leafs opened the scoring through Darren Raddysh at 3:33 of the first period. Brock Nelson equalized at 16:09 before Landeskog gave Colorado a 2-1 advantage just 77 seconds later.
Devon Toews made it 3-1 early in the second period, putting Colorado in control.
Toronto responded through Easton Cowan late in the second and Jack Roslovic early in the third, leveling the contest at 3-3.
Colorado Answers Toronto’s Equalizer in Just 51 Seconds
The defining moment arrived almost immediately after Toronto completed its comeback.
Roslovic tied the game at 4:11 of the third period, raising the possibility that the Maple Leafs could reverse their difficult recent form.
Landeskog ended that momentum at 5:02, redirecting Nazem Kadri’s cross-crease pass into the net to restore Colorado’s lead.
The go-ahead goal came just 51 seconds after Toronto had equalized.
That response exposed the difference between recovering from a deficit and sustaining control after completing the comeback. Toronto had worked through much of the contest to regain parity, only to surrender it almost immediately.
Artturi Lehkonen extended Colorado’s advantage with 2:46 remaining, and Martin Necas added an empty-net goal 16 seconds later.
Thirteen Avalanche players recorded at least one point. Cale Makar contributed two assists, Toews finished with a goal and an assist, and Mackenzie Blackwood stopped 28 shots.
Colorado improved to 11-6-2, collecting points in six of its previous seven games. Toronto fell to 8-10-2 and suffered its fourth consecutive defeat.
The Avalanche’s response was particularly encouraging after their earlier 7-2 defeat against Columbus, a result covered in TSE’s November 3 NHL roundup.
Toronto’s difficulties are becoming harder to dismiss as temporary. Losing four consecutive games while allowing opponents to respond so quickly to important goals raises questions about defensive organization and momentum management.
The official NHL Avalanche-Maple Leafs report confirms the scoring sequence and Colorado’s third-period recovery.
Kirill Kaprizov Wins in Overtime as Minnesota Extends Point Streak
Minnesota Wild 2, Montreal Canadiens 1 (OT)
Kirill Kaprizov scored just 21 seconds into overtime to give Minnesota an important road victory in a matchup between two of the NHL’s strongest early-season teams.
The Russian forward converted a one-timer from the right circle during a four-on-three power play after Montreal’s Cole Caufield had been penalized for slashing late in regulation.
Kaprizov’s winner was particularly dramatic because Montreal had forced overtime through Nick Suzuki’s goal with 1:38 remaining in the third period.
Until the final period, both goaltenders had controlled the contest.
Jesper Wallstedt produced 27 saves for Minnesota, while Jacob Fowler stopped 22 shots for Montreal.
Bobby Brink finally broke the deadlock at 2:53 of the third period. He intercepted a poorly controlled puck in the neutral zone and finished a breakaway past Fowler.
Montreal continued pressing for an equalizer, and Suzuki rewarded that pressure by scoring from close range late in regulation.
But the Canadiens’ recovery was undermined when Caufield’s penalty gave Minnesota a power play extending into overtime.
Kaprizov needed only one meaningful opening.
Both Teams Extend Important Point Streaks
The result improved Minnesota to 13-3-4, extending its point streak to nine games at 7-0-2.
Montreal moved to 11-3-4 and extended its own point streak to 11 games despite the defeat.
The Canadiens still collected one standings point because the game was decided in overtime.
Kaprizov also extended his individual point streak to nine games and recorded his 15th career overtime goal, tying Caufield for the most by an NHL player since Kaprizov entered the league in 2020-21.
Quinn Hughes assisted on the winner, reaching 80 points with Minnesota in his 68th game for the franchise. Only Paul Coffey, who achieved the mark in 53 games with Pittsburgh, reached 80 points faster with a new NHL team among defensemen.
Minnesota coach John Hynes credited his players’ defensive organization and discipline following a game in which Montreal generated sustained pressure.
The contest also included a significant emotional occasion. Montreal honored former goaltender Carey Price following his induction into the Hockey Hall of Fame.
The Wild now have 30 standings points through 20 games, strengthening their position among the Western Conference leaders.
Cole Hutson’s Overtime Winner Completes Washington’s Comeback
Washington Capitals 3, Ottawa Senators 2 (OT)
Rookie defenseman Cole Hutson produced a goal and an assist as Washington recovered from a third-period deficit to defeat Ottawa.
Hutson scored at 1:14 of overtime, sending a wrist shot from the right face-off circle through traffic and past goaltender Samuel Ersson.
His winner completed a comeback that had looked increasingly unlikely during the second period.
Washington opened the scoring after only 35 seconds through Matt Roy, but Ottawa gradually took control.
Ridly Greig equalized at 11:05 of the second period before Hayden Hodgson gave the Senators a 2-1 lead at 16:04.
Ottawa outshot Washington 17-2 during the middle period, and the Capitals went more than 21 minutes without registering a shot on goal.
That imbalance makes Washington’s victory particularly notable.
Instead of allowing Ottawa’s territorial advantage to produce an insurmountable lead, the Capitals remained within one goal.
Pierre-Luc Dubois tied the game at 12:31 of the third period after receiving a cross-ice pass from Hutson.
Hutson then completed the recovery in overtime.
Logan Thompson made 23 saves for Washington, while Ersson stopped 14 shots for Ottawa.
The Capitals improved to 10-6-0, winning their second consecutive game. Ottawa moved to 11-6-2 and collected one point from the overtime defeat.
The Senators also lost forward Nick Cousins late in the third period after he was hit along the boards by Washington defenseman Jakob Chychrun. Cousins required assistance leaving the ice and did not return. No confirmed longer-term diagnosis or recovery timeline was available in the official postgame report.
Ottawa had previously demonstrated its ability to recover from difficult positions, including its comeback victory at Buffalo on November 4. That game was examined in TSE’s report on Kempe’s hat trick and Ottawa’s comeback.
Tuesday reversed the roles. Ottawa generated more shots and controlled extended passages, but Washington’s timely finishing proved decisive.
Dawson Mercer Scores Twice Against Devils as Winnipeg Wins Emotional Reunion
Winnipeg Jets 4, New Jersey Devils 2
Dawson Mercer scored twice against his former teammates, including the decisive third-period goal, as Winnipeg ended New Jersey’s five-game winning streak.
The game carried considerable emotion because Mercer had joined Winnipeg in the October 23 trade that sent goaltender Connor Hellebuyck to New Jersey.
Hellebuyck did not play against his former team. The Devils instead started Jake Allen, while Winnipeg selected Nico Daws, another player acquired in the trade.
Mercer opened the scoring at 7:54 of the first period, moving from the corner into the high slot before beating Allen with a shot through traffic.
Kyle Connor doubled Winnipeg’s advantage on the power play at 15:06.
New Jersey responded quickly in the second period.
Jesper Bratt scored at 1:14 before Cody Glass equalized just 44 seconds later, turning a two-goal deficit into a 2-2 contest.
Mercer’s Third-Period Winner Settles the Game
The score remained level until Mercer produced the decisive moment with 8:02 remaining.
Alex Iafallo supplied a backhand pass through the crease, allowing Mercer to finish from the lower edge of the left face-off circle.
The goal gave Winnipeg a 3-2 advantage and restored control after New Jersey’s second-period recovery.
Connor added an empty-net goal at 19:02, completing his own two-goal performance.
Cole Perfetti contributed two assists, while Daws made 19 saves in his first victory with Winnipeg.
Mercer’s performance was especially significant because the trade had reshaped both teams’ rosters and their expectations for the season.
New Jersey entered the game at 13-5-0, having won five straight. Winnipeg had struggled to build consistent momentum, but the emotional contest offered an opportunity to move forward after the upheaval surrounding Hellebuyck’s departure.
The Jets improved to 8-8-3, while the Devils fell to 13-6-0.
Winnipeg’s ability to respond after surrendering a two-goal lead represents another notable development in its season.
Earlier in November, the Jets had produced an extraordinary four-goal comeback against Montreal before winning in overtime. That performance was documented in TSE’s analysis of Winnipeg’s historic recovery.
The official NHL Jets-Devils recap confirms Mercer’s two goals, the trade-related reunion and Connor’s contribution.
Sam Bennett Scores Twice as Panthers Recover Against Blue Jackets
Florida Panthers 4, Columbus Blue Jackets 1
Sam Bennett scored twice and Jacob Markstrom made 37 saves as Florida ended its two-game losing streak with a convincing victory in Columbus.
The Panthers were coming off consecutive defeats and needed a stronger defensive performance against a team capable of creating substantial attacking pressure.
Bennett opened the scoring on the power play at 2:00 of the second period, finishing an Anton Lundell pass from close range.
Lars Eller doubled Florida’s advantage just 2:17 later after Carter Verhaeghe took advantage of a defensive-zone giveaway.
Columbus responded through Ivan Provorov with 19 seconds remaining in the second period, cutting the deficit to 2-1.
That goal created a realistic opportunity for the Blue Jackets to force a comeback during the final 20 minutes.
But Markstrom continued frustrating Columbus, and Bennett restored Florida’s two-goal cushion at 14:29 of the third period.
His second goal came during four-on-four play, demonstrating that Florida could create scoring chances without relying exclusively on its power play.
Sam Reinhart completed the 4-1 victory with an empty-net goal at 17:44.
Aaron Ekblad and Lundell each recorded two assists.
Columbus outshot Florida 38-28, yet Markstrom’s goaltending and Bennett’s finishing gave the Panthers a comfortable final margin.
Florida improved to 10-7-2, while Columbus dropped to 7-9-0 after its second consecutive defeat.
The result provided another reminder that shot volume alone cannot explain match outcomes. Columbus generated ten more shots, but Florida converted its opportunities more efficiently and received an outstanding performance from its goaltender.
That distinction between results, shot totals and team performance was explored in TSE’s analysis of NHL goal differential and what early standings conceal.
Joel Hofer Makes 30 Saves as Blues Edge Red Wings
St. Louis Blues 3, Detroit Red Wings 2
Joel Hofer made 30 saves, including 19 during the third period, as St. Louis ended its three-game winless run against Detroit.
The Red Wings entered the contest attempting to recover from a difficult sequence, but their fourth consecutive defeat exposed continued problems converting sustained pressure into results.
Andrew Copp gave Detroit the lead with just 13 seconds remaining in the opening period, redirecting a Ben Chiarot shot past Hofer.
St. Louis responded almost immediately after the intermission.
Pius Suter equalized 37 seconds into the second period, and Justin Barron made it 2-1 at 2:34.
The Blues therefore overturned Detroit’s advantage through two goals separated by just 1:57.
That response changed the game before the Red Wings could establish control following their late first-period breakthrough.
Detroit increased its attacking pressure during the final period, forcing Hofer into 19 saves.
The Red Wings also appeared to score during a goalmouth scramble with 11:23 remaining, but the on-ice no-goal decision was upheld following video review.
Jimmy Snuggerud extended the Blues’ lead at 15:58, finishing a rebound to make it 3-1.
Moritz Seider scored for Detroit with 1:14 remaining after the Red Wings had pulled their goaltender, but St. Louis protected the one-goal advantage.
Snuggerud finished with a goal and an assist, while Copp also recorded two points for Detroit. Lucas Raymond contributed two assists.
St. Louis improved to 8-8-2, ending a three-game slide. Detroit dropped to 7-9-3 after its fourth consecutive loss.
The Red Wings have now been outscored 13-5 during those four defeats.
Hofer’s performance was central to the outcome. Detroit generated more pressure during the closing period, but the St. Louis goaltender prevented that advantage from producing a successful comeback.
Filip Forsberg and Juuse Saros Lead Nashville’s Fifth Straight Win
Nashville Predators 3, Los Angeles Kings 0
Filip Forsberg scored twice and Juuse Saros stopped all 30 shots he faced as Nashville extended its winning streak to five games with a shutout victory in Los Angeles.
The Predators entered the contest after four consecutive wins, including a 3-1 victory against St. Louis on November 7.
They continued that form through disciplined defending, opportunistic finishing and another outstanding performance from Saros.
Forsberg opened the scoring at 5:20 of the first period after Nils Hoglander intercepted a pass in Nashville’s defensive zone.
The turnover created a two-on-one opportunity, and Hoglander supplied the cross-slot pass that Forsberg converted.

The goal was his sixth in eight games, reflecting a strong recent scoring run.
Los Angeles continued generating opportunities, but Saros maintained his shutout through the third period.
Adam Wilsby scored into an empty net with 2:17 remaining to complete the 3-0 result.
Saros Records His First Shutout Since January 2025
Saros’ 30-save performance produced the 28th shutout of his NHL career and his first since January 3, 2025.
The achievement was especially significant because Los Angeles generated sustained pressure without finding a way past the Finnish goaltender.
Anton Forsberg made 27 saves at the opposite end, but Nashville’s early scoring and defensive discipline proved decisive.
The Predators improved to 9-4-5 and have collected points in eight of their previous nine games, going 6-1-2 during that stretch.
Los Angeles fell to 5-9-2 after losing three of its previous four contests.
The Kings’ latest defeat contrasted sharply with their 7-2 demolition of San Jose earlier in the month, when Adrian Kempe recorded a hat trick and Artemi Panarin supplied four assists.
That earlier performance was examined in TSE’s November 4 NHL consolidated report.
Nashville’s form has moved in the opposite direction. The Predators have combined reliable goaltending with timely scoring, collecting victories without necessarily needing to dominate possession throughout every game.
The official NHL Predators-Kings report confirms Forsberg’s goals, Saros’ shutout and Nashville’s fifth consecutive victory.
What Tuesday’s Seven NHL Games Reveal
Tuesday’s results produced several important developments across both conferences.
Minnesota extended its point streak to nine games and reached 30 standings points. Colorado moved to 24 points, strengthening its recovery after an inconsistent opening stretch. Nashville reached 23 points through 18 games and continued climbing through a five-game winning streak.
In the Eastern Conference, New Jersey remained among the early leaders despite its defeat, while Montreal continued collecting points through its 11-game streak.
Washington’s comeback against Ottawa improved the Capitals to 20 points, although the Senators still collected one point for reaching overtime.
Florida’s victory helped stabilize its campaign after consecutive defeats.
The most concerning results came for Toronto, Detroit and Los Angeles. The Maple Leafs and Red Wings suffered their fourth consecutive defeats, while the Kings remained well below the .500 points-percentage mark.
The Statistical Story Behind the Seven Results
Across the seven games, winning teams scored 25 goals and losing teams scored 11, producing a combined winning margin of 14 goals.
The results were not equally one-sided.
Minnesota and Washington each won by one goal in overtime, while St. Louis also prevailed by a single goal in regulation. Colorado, Florida and Nashville produced the three largest margins, each winning by three goals.
Goaltending made an important difference in several contests.
Markstrom stopped 37 shots against Columbus, Saros recorded 30 saves without conceding, and Hofer made 30 saves to protect St. Louis’ narrow advantage.
Wallstedt’s 27-save performance helped Minnesota withstand Montreal’s pressure, while Thompson’s 23 saves gave Washington enough stability to recover against Ottawa.
These performances illustrate why final scores require context. Florida won 4-1 despite being outshot by ten. Washington won 3-2 despite recording only 17 shots against Ottawa’s 26. Minnesota prevailed even though Montreal generated more shots and won the majority of face-offs.
The stronger finishing team was not always the team generating more opportunities.
Seven Standout Performers From November 10
The evening produced several two-goal performances, decisive overtime finishes and outstanding goaltending contributions.
- Gabriel Landeskog, Colorado: Two goals, including the winner 51 seconds after Toronto equalized.
- Dawson Mercer, Winnipeg: Two goals against his former New Jersey team, including the third-period game-winner.
- Kirill Kaprizov, Minnesota: The overtime winner after only 21 seconds, extending his individual point streak to nine games.
- Cole Hutson, Washington: A goal and an assist, contributing to the equalizer before scoring the overtime winner.
- Sam Bennett, Florida: Two goals as the Panthers ended their two-game losing streak.
- Joel Hofer, St. Louis: Thirty saves, including 19 in the final period, to frustrate Detroit’s comeback attempt.
- Juuse Saros, Nashville: Thirty saves and his 28th career shutout as the Predators recorded their fifth straight win.
Filip Forsberg and Kyle Connor also deserve recognition for scoring twice, while Jacob Markstrom’s 37 saves represented the night’s largest confirmed total among winning goaltenders.
The most dramatic individual contribution arguably belonged to Mercer. His goals came in the first meeting against the team that had traded him, and the second directly decided a contest that had been tied since early in the second period.
Kaprizov’s overtime winner carried greater immediate significance for Minnesota’s point streak, while Landeskog supplied the fastest response to an opponent’s comeback.
What Comes Next in the NHL Schedule?
Wednesday, November 11, brings another six-game NHL schedule, with Nashville returning to action immediately against Anaheim in the second half of a Southern California back-to-back.
Toronto, Minnesota, Colorado, Washington, Detroit, Florida, Winnipeg and New Jersey face their next scheduled assignments later in the week.
Colorado visits Ottawa on Thursday, bringing together two teams involved in Tuesday’s most dramatic momentum changes.
Washington also faces New Jersey on Thursday, giving the Capitals another test against an opponent attempting to recover from the end of a five-game winning streak.
Minnesota travels to Toronto, creating an intriguing matchup between a team riding a nine-game point streak and another attempting to stop a four-game losing run.
The Predators’ immediate turnaround against Anaheim will test their ability to maintain defensive discipline after Saros’ demanding shutout performance.
For additional results, standings, injuries and analysis, readers can follow The Sports Encounter’s NHL coverage, including its continuing reports on the 2026-27 regular season.
Tuesday’s seven games demonstrated how quickly a result can change through one decisive moment. Landeskog restored Colorado’s lead almost immediately after Toronto’s comeback, Hutson and Kaprizov settled their contests in overtime, and Mercer delivered the winning goal in an emotionally charged reunion. Saros, meanwhile, ensured Nashville needed only Forsberg’s first goal to secure another victory.
The teams producing those moments are accumulating valuable early-season points. Their opponents have another challenge: finding ways to convert promising periods into complete performances before the playoff race begins to take shape.
