Six games on Sunday, and plenty for poolers to chew on. Cutter Gauthier pulled off another hat trick, Connor Hellebuyck blanked the 
Maple Leafs, Tomas Hertl led Vegas in Buffalo and Mark Scheifele won it with a second left. Let's go around the league.
Ducks 5, Penguins 2: Gauthier just keeps scoring
Cutter Gauthier scored three times (one on the power play, one into an empty net) and added an assist. That's 15 goals in 17 games. Mikael Granlund had a goal and three assists, Jackson LaCombe picked up three assists in nearly 31 minutes, and Tristan Luneau scored on the power play. Laurent Brossoit made 31 saves on 33 shots. Kris Letang and Rickard Rakell scored power play goals for Pittsburgh, Evgeni Malkin had two assists, and Arturs Silovs allowed four goals on 24 shots.
Pool takeaway: Gauthier is a must start, no debate. LaCombe (22 points in 18 games) is producing like a top-pair fantasy defenceman. Granlund belongs in standard leagues while he's riding with Gauthier.
Devils 4, Maple Leafs 0: Hellebuyck perfect, then a surprise call
Connor Hellebuyck stopped all 23 shots for his first shutout of the season and is now 5-0-0 since landing in New Jersey. Timo Meier scored twice in the second period, Nico Hischier had a power play goal and an assist, Jack Hughes and Jesper Bratt had two assists each, and Connor Brown added an empty netter. Anthony Stolarz made 25 saves on 28 shots. Toronto played without Morgan Rielly and Chris Tanev (our story on their absence), and Sportsnet notes Jim Hiller's line blender didn't spark anything.
After the game, GM Sunny Mehta announced Hellebuyck won't start Tuesday in Winnipeg against his old team, citing win probability (TSN). Per Chris Johnston, Sheldon Keefe also pointed to workload, since it would have been his fourth start in eight days. Hellebuyck says he's disappointed and will speak in Winnipeg on Tuesday morning.
Pool takeaway: Hellebuyck is rolling, but don't count on him Tuesday, so plan your daily lineups around it. Meier's two goals could be the start of something. Be careful with Leafs skaters while their blue line is this banged up.
Golden Knights 4, Sabres 1: Hertl and Marner lead the way
Tomas Hertl scored twice in the third period (goals 8 and 9). Mitch Marner had a shorthanded goal and an assist, Jack Eichel scored his eighth, and Ivan Barbashev added two assists. Adin Hill made 28 saves on 29 shots. Beck Malenstyn scored Buffalo's only goal, his first of the season, and Colten Ellis gave up four on 26 shots.
Pool takeaway: Hertl is still a nice value at center. Marner's shorthanded points are a bonus in leagues that count them. Hill keeps stacking wins (seven now).
Jets 4, Lightning 3: Scheifele with one second left
Winnipeg built a 3-0 lead on goals from Cole Perfetti (power play), Morgan Barron and Brayden Yager (power play, his first of the season). Tampa answered with three straight, including two from Pontus Holmberg 26 seconds apart and one from Brandon Hagel. Then Mark Scheifele scored the power play winner with one second on the clock. Perfetti finished with a goal, an assist and six shots, and Viggo Björck had two assists. Stuart Skinner made 18 saves on 21 shots, Andrei Vasilevskiy 21 on 25.
Pool takeaway: the Jets' power play struck three times, great news for Scheifele and Perfetti managers. Holmberg (two goals) is a deep league option.
Flames 4, Flyers 3 (OT): Coronato ends it
Matt Coronato scored in overtime. Joel Farabee had tied it in the third with a shorthanded goal, his seventh of the season. Zayne Parekh and Zach Whitecloud (his first as a Flame) also scored, and Yegor Sharangovich had two assists. Devin Cooley made 32 saves on 35 shots. For Philadelphia, Owen Tippett (power play), Noel Acciari and Denver Barkey scored, Sean Couturier had two assists and Dan Vladar made 22 saves.
Pool takeaway: Farabee (17 points) leads the Flames in scoring and deserves a look. Cooley (five wins, .914) is earning more of the Calgary crease.
Bruins 4, Panthers 1: Swayman stands tall
Jeremy Swayman made 40 saves on 41 shots. David Pastrnak and Pavel Zacha had two assists each, while Elias Lindholm, Michael Eyssimont (in his first game of the season), Morgan Geekie (power play) and JJ Peterka scored. Carter Verhaeghe got Florida's lone goal on the power play, his 10th. Brady Tkachuk fired eight shots without scoring. Jacob Markstrom made 32 saves on 36 shots.
Pool takeaway: Swayman (nine wins, .920) is a reliable No. 1. Verhaeghe (10 goals) keeps producing. Brady Tkachuk's shots will start going in.
The bottom line
Hot: Cutter Gauthier, Mikael Granlund, Jackson LaCombe, Tomas Hertl and Mark Scheifele. Goalies to watch: Connor Hellebuyck (shutout, but not Tuesday) and Jeremy Swayman (40 saves). Deep league names: Pontus Holmberg, Joel Farabee and Timo Meier.
