Feel free to keep treating the Vegas Golden Knights like an expansion team. Really, they don't mind being taken lightly. The trouble is, they're hard to overlook given an 8-3 start (16 points).

DETROIT — As his team prepared to play the Arizona Coyotes on Tuesday night, Detroit Red Wings coach Jeff Blashill placed two salient points at the top of the game plan.

NEW YORK — Mika Zibanejad got the tiebreaking goal with 5:39 left and the New York Rangers scored four in the third period to rally for a 6-4 victory over the expansion Vegas Golden Knights on Tuesday night.

NEW YORK — After two lacklustre periods, the New York Rangers turned up the intensity in the third and rallied for a needed win.

TORONTO — Much like the controversial politician himself, Connor McDavid's decision to dress as Donald Trump for a Halloween party has received a polarizing reaction on social media.

SAN JOSE, Calif. — Patrick Marleau woke up in his own home in San Jose and drove to the rink to prepare for a hockey game just as he has done countless times during his stellar career. Only this day was much different.

VANCOUVER — Despite firing 39 shots on net and getting multiple scoring chances late in the game, Vancouver couldn't quite break Dallas' domination.

PHILADELPHIA — The struggling Arizona Coyotes finally got their first win of the season, beating the Philadelphia Flyers 4-3 on Alex Goligoski's overtime goal after blowing a two-goal lead in the final minute of regulation Monday night.

SAN JOSE, Calif. — Rookie defenceman Tim Heed scored a tiebreaking goal on the power play early in the third period to spoil Patrick Marleau's return to San Jose by leading the Sharks to a 3-2 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Monday night.

ST. LOUIS — Five days after his first child was born, St. Louis Blues defenceman Carl Gunnarsson left the rink with a special present for his daughter.
