The Columbus Blue Jackets have started the 2025-26 NHL season with a 6-4-0 record, demonstrating improved road play and depth scoring in their first 10 games. Key wins in back-to-back road games against Buffalo and Toronto highlighted contributions from multiple lines. While penalty kill remains a concern, the team's early momentum positions them for playoff contention.
The Ottawa Senators have reassigned penalty-killing responsibilities from assistant coach Nolan Baumgartner to Mike Yeo amid ongoing struggles with their special teams unit. This change comes after repeated breakdowns that have cost the team leads and contributed to a four-game skid in their last five outings. Head coach Travis Green described the penalty kill as a persistent issue since October.

Dallas demonstrated discipline and defensive poise despite fatigue, improving to 15-5-4 overall and 9-1-3 on the road. Key contributions came from Roope Hintz, Esa Lindell and Vladislav Kolyachonok, who scored the game-winning goal.
