NHL record when Tampa Bay defeated Chicago

Since the 1997-98 season, when shot-a-shot started counting in NHL statistics, no team has been shooting the puck as many times as ever.

"We wanted to play against goals and avoid the goalkeeper, which created many opportunities, and I think that's what we did in the second half," said pitcher Yanni Gourde after the match.

And perseverance has borne fruit. The match ended 6-3 (second period 3-0) against the Florida team.

Tampa Bay Swede Victor Hedman scored a goal in the third period and was recognized for his first aid.

In other NHL night games, Calgary beat the New York Rangers 4-1 – Mika Zibanejad scored the only goal in New York.

Goalkeeper Henrik Lundqvist played his 812th game against the Rangers. There are only seven other people who have played more games for the team.

"We are good enough to win games, but we can not find a way to win.There is obviously something we need to change quickly," said Lundqvist, after nhl.com after the match.

Buffalo defeated Anaheim 4-2. This match was ended by Patrik Berglund who scored the first goal of the season.
