Plus, some teams have unexpectedly struggled like the Edmonton Oilers and the Boston Bruins. We have our key takeaways on the first month of the season including the San Jose Sharks surprise three-game winning streak.

And we preview the weekend of NHL action ahead including two games in Finland as part of the NHL Global Series.
