NHL action on November 22 delivered offense, drama, statement wins, and a few concerning setbacks. From Buffalo’s explosive nine-goal performance to Boston’s overtime heroics, the night offered compelling storylines across multiple arenas. Minnesota extended its winning streak with a suffocating shutout, while Carolina weathered adversity to earn a road victory in Winnipeg. Below is a recap of the night’s biggest results and standout performances.
Sabres Blitz Blackhawks in 9–3 Rout
The Buffalo Sabres unleashed one of their most dominant performances of the season, hammering the Chicago Blackhawks 9–3. Ryan McLeod and Mattias Samuelsson delivered the turning point with goals just eight seconds apart in the second period — the fastest such burst by Buffalo since 2013. That sequence flipped the momentum permanently in Buffalo’s favor.
Josh Doan led the scoring with two goals, while Alex Tuch powered the offensive surge with four assists. Jason Zucker contributed a goal and two helpers, and five more Sabres added a goal and an assist each, showcasing the team’s depth and pace. Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen made 20 saves as Buffalo snapped a slump in emphatic fashion.
Chicago, meanwhile, struggled on both ends of the ice. Arvid Soderblom stopped just 21 of 30 shots, and defensive breakdowns repeatedly left scoring lanes open. Tyler Bertuzzi scored twice and Alex Vlasic added another, but the Blackhawks were overwhelmed by Buffalo’s relentless tempo.

Bruins Edge Kings 2–1 in OT Thriller
Morgan Geekie delivered Boston’s winning moment, burying his second goal of the night just over two minutes into overtime to lift the Bruins past the Los Angeles Kings. The play developed through David Pastrnak, who controlled the puck at the blue line before sending a perfect feed to Geekie for the finish. Geekie, now tied for the league lead with 16 goals, continued his elite scoring run.
Los Angeles battled back late in regulation thanks to a short-handed goal from Joel Armia, seizing momentum while killing a crucial penalty. But Boston’s structure and late-game execution proved too strong in the extra period. Despite Darcy Kuemper’s 24 saves, the Kings saw their home struggles continue, falling to 1-4-3 on home ice.
Boston’s ability to grind out narrow wins reflects the franchise’s consistency and value for bettors seeking teams that excel under pressure. For broader wagering context, Sportshub Odds & Scores provides updated lines and results across every major league.
Boldy, Gustavsson Lead Wild to 5–0 Shutout
Matt Boldy produced one of the night’s most impressive performances, scoring twice and adding an assist as the Minnesota Wild dominated the Pittsburgh Penguins 5–0. Filip Gustavsson was perfect in net, stopping all 19 shots to secure Minnesota’s fourth straight victory.
Kirill Kaprizov and Joel Eriksson Ek contributed a goal and an assist each, while Marcus Johansson added another tally as Minnesota controlled the pace from the opening faceoff. Sharp puck movement and active forechecking kept Pittsburgh off balance throughout the game.
The Penguins suffered their first shutout loss of the season and have now dropped four of their last five. Arturs Silovs struggled early, surrendering four goals on ten shots before giving way to Sergei Murashov, who steadied the team slightly with 10 saves. Even so, Pittsburgh never found the offensive rhythm necessary to challenge Minnesota.

Staal’s Two Goals Lift Hurricanes Over Jets
Jordan Staal lifted the Carolina Hurricanes to a gritty 4–3 road win over the Winnipeg Jets, scoring twice and setting the tone physically and offensively. Seth Jarvis and Andrei Svechnikov added goals, while Sebastian Aho played facilitator with two assists. Brandon Bussi earned his fifth win of the season by stopping 24 shots.
Winnipeg battled despite difficult pre-game news: star goaltender Connor Hellebuyck will miss four to six weeks following knee surgery. Gabriel Vilardi responded with two goals and Josh Morrissey added another as the Jets stayed competitive, but Carolina’s forecheck and neutral-zone pressure ultimately were too much.
Even with adversity, Winnipeg showed resilience, and their offensive flashes should remain a focus for bettors monitoring the Jets’ market movement. For nightly league-wide context and form trackers, the Sportshub Daily Report remains a reliable resource.
