What a night. Fourteen games on the Saturday schedule, eleven already final as we write this, and plenty for poolers: a wild comeback in Chicago, three shutouts and a 1,000th career point for Jamie Benn.
Scheifele leads the Jets comeback
The 
Winnipeg Jets erased a four-goal deficit to beat the 
Chicago Blackhawks 5-4 in a shootout. Mark Scheifele led the way with a goal and three assists, while Gabriel Vilardi and Kyle Connor added a goal and an assist each.
For Chicago, Connor Bedard had a goal and an assist, and Teuvo Teravainen added two assists. The Jets take two points, and Scheifele stays one of the most reliable forwards to have in your lineup every night.
Three shutouts in one night
Devon Levi stopped all 19 shots from the 
Maple Leafs in a 1-0 
Oilers win in Toronto. Evan Bouchard scored the only goal of the game. Anthony Stolarz played well at the other end with 22 saves on 23 shots, but the Leafs could not find a way through.
Daniil Tarasov earned his third career shutout with 31 saves in a 2-0 
Red Wings win over the Lightning. Lucas Raymond had a goal and an assist for Detroit.
Jake Oettinger also closed the door with 22 saves in a 2-0 Stars win over the 
Sabres. Both Dallas goals came from Jamie Benn and Wyatt Johnston.
Benn hits 1,000 points
Jamie Benn's second-period goal against Buffalo was his 1,000th career NHL point, all with the Stars. He is the second player in franchise history to reach the mark, behind Mike Modano and his 1,359 points.
Benn, 37, scored his 418th career goal, his fourth this season. Miro Heiskanen missed a fourth straight game and stays doubtful for Sunday against Florida.
Carolina wraps up the Global Series
The 
Hurricanes wrapped up the Global Series in Finland with a 5-1 win over the Kraken in Helsinki. Andrei Svechnikov and Mark Jankowski scored twice each, and Nikolaj Ehlers added three assists. Matty Beniers scored the only Seattle goal, and Pyotr Kochetkov stopped 12 of 13 shots.
The Wild roll over the Bruins
The 
Minnesota Wild beat the 
Bruins 6-2 in Boston. Ryan Hartman and Danila Yurov scored twice each, Blake Coleman added a goal and two assists, and Kirill Kaprizov had two assists. Quinn Hughes scored a goal and added an assist. Jesper Wallstedt stopped 30 of 32 Boston shots. David Pastrnak had a goal and an assist for the Bruins.
New Jersey has fun in Washington
The Devils won 7-4 against the Capitals. Connor Hellebuyck stopped 43 of 47 Washington shots, and Luke Hughes had three assists. Evan Rodrigues scored twice, and Jesper Boqvist, Lenni Hameenaho and Connor Brown had three points each. Hameenaho did it all in just 8:06 of ice time. For Washington, Cole Hutson had three assists and Ryan Leonard scored a goal and added an assist.
The other results
The Avalanche, without Nathan MacKinnon and Cale Makar, still beat the 
Canadiens 4-1 in Montreal. Artturi Lehkonen had a goal and an assist, and Mackenzie Blackwood stopped 25 of 26 shots. Jakub Dobes stopped 23 of 26 shots for Montreal.
The Senators beat the Penguins 4-1. Michael Amadio had a goal and an assist, and Linus Ullmark stopped 16 of 17 shots.
The Flyers beat the Blue Jackets 4-3. Denver Barkey scored twice, Matthew Knies added one, and Joseph Woll stopped 28 of 31 shots.
The Panthers beat the Blues 4-1. Brady Tkachuk and Sam Reinhart had a goal and an assist each, and Jacob Markstrom stopped 23 of 24 shots. Dylan Holloway scored late for St. Louis.
Three games still going
As we write this, the Sharks and the Mammoth are tied 5-5 with 3:21 left in the third period. Clayton Keller already has two assists for Utah, and Dmitri Orlov has a goal and two assists for San Jose.
The Islanders lead 5-2 against the Ducks in the second period. Simon Holmstrom has already scored twice, and young defenceman Matthew Schaefer has three assists. Mathew Barzal is playing his first game of the season.
The Flames lead 1-0 against the Kings in the second period, and Dustin Wolf has stopped everything so far.
What it means for your pool
Scheifele stays a must-have, Hellebuyck just had one of his best nights of the season, and Levi, Tarasov and Oettinger are a reminder that a hot goalie is worth gold. Denver Barkey and Lenni Hameenaho are two young names to watch closely, and Matthew Schaefer keeps producing on the Islanders blue line. Check on Heiskanen Sunday morning before the game against Florida.
