On the first night all season neither Connor McDavid nor Leon Draisaitl recorded a single point, it was goaltender Mikko Koskinen who was money in Vegas making 36 saves in the Edmonton Oilers' 3-2 win over the Golden Knights. (By SportsnetSpec)

“We’re playing him so much, he’s not thinking about it. He’s just playing,” joked head coach Dave Tippett. “And it’s not as if he’s playing soft minutes. He’s playing hard, hard minutes — at the end of the game against a good team in Vegas.”

Russell has been an inspirational leader inside the four walls of Edmonton’s dressing room for a long time, among those who know what’s it like to get hit by the frozen vulcanized rubber. It’s one thing to get hit now and again, but Russell — who blocked four to move past Brent Seabrook and become the all-time NHL leader in shots blocked — has averaged seven per game in his 889-game career.

“We talked about it in the room after the game,” he said. “In the history of the game there is nobody who blocked more shots than Kris.”
