KINGS LOSE TO DETROIT, 3-2

Mike Green and Dylan Larkin scored 2:23 apart in the second period to snap a 1-1 tie and help the Red Wings extend their point streak to three contests (2-0-1). Larkin, 19, scored for the third consecutive game (3-0—3). Elias says that he became the first teenager to record a goal in three straight games for the Red Wings since 1984-85, when Steve Yzerman posted a pair of four-game goal streaks.

Red Wings teammates Justin Abdelkader and Henrik Zetterberg both picked up two assists.

Kings forward Tyler Toffoli notched one assist to extend his point streak to a career-high six games (1-6—7).

Kings forward Jeff Carter (2-0—2) registered his second multi-goal game of the season (also Oct. 22 at SJS: 2-2—4).

PRICE LEADS CANADIENS IN RETURN FROM INJURY

Playing in his first game since Oct. 29, Carey Price made 33 saves – including 14 in the second period – to lead the Canadiens past the Islanders in the first half of their home-and-home series.

At 15-4-2 (32 points), the Candiens moved into sole possession of first place in the Eastern Conference. They also tied the idle Stars (16-4-0, 32 points) – in terms of points – for first place in the NHL standings.

Price – the reigning Hart Memorial Trophy, Ted Lindsay Award, Vezina Trophy and William M. Jennings Trophy winner – improved to 8-2-0 in his first 10 appearances of the season (2.11 GAA, .934 SV%, 2 SO). Via Elias, he became the ninth goaltender in Canadiens history to win eight (or more) of his first 10 games of a season and the first to do so since 1977-78 (Ken Dryden: 8-1-1).

Jeff Petry (2-0—2) registered his first career multi-goal game (335 GP). He also scored his second game-winning goal of the season (21 GP), double his total from his first 314 NHL appearances (1 GWG).

DRAISAITL, HALL (AGAIN) IGNITE OILERS’ OFFENSE

Leon Draisaitl and Taylor Hall both posted 1-2—3 to power the Oilers to a 3-2-1 record in their past six games at Rexall Place.

Draisaitl, who was recalled from the Bakersfield Condors (AHL) on Oct. 29, has 7-10—17 in his first 10 outings of the season, including 4-6—10 during a career-high five-game point streak. He had 2-7—9 in his first 37 NHL appearances.

Per Elias, Draisaitl became the first Oilers player to collect 17 (or more) points in his first 10 personal appearances of a season since 1989-90, when Mark Messier also notched 7-10—17 in his first 10 games.

Hall also extended his point streak to five games (3-5—8). He ranks fourth in the NHL with 9-15—24 this season (20 GP), including 5-11—16 in 10 games since Draisaitl’s recall.
