BLUES RALLY PAST MAPLE LEAFS

KLINGBERG EXTENDS POINT STREAK IN MILESTONE GAME FOR HITCHCOCK
John Klingberg collected two assists to extend his point streak to a career-high eight games (2-10—12) and help the Stars (26-17-3, 55 points) improve to 4-1-0 in their last five contests.

Klingberg whose eight-game point streak is the longest active run in the NHL – leads all blueliners with 6-37—43 this season (46 GP). He became the first Stars defenseman to record at least one point in eight consecutive team games since Sergei Zubov from March 24 – April 15, 2006 (3-7—10 in 9 GP).

Ken Hitchcock coached his 1,500th career regular-season game to become the fourth head coach in NHL history (second active) to reach the milestone.

WILLIE O’REE TO BE HONORED AHEAD OF 60TH ANNIVERSARY
Hockey pioneer Willie O’Ree will be honored prior to Wednesday’s Boston-Montreal game to mark the 60th anniversary of his first NHL game – on Jan. 18, 1958, O’Ree broke the National Hockey League’s color barrier when he made his debut with the Bruins in a 3-0 win over the Canadiens. At 82 years of age, O’Ree continues to leave his mark on the game as the NHL’s Diversity Ambassador.

ANOTHER 40-SAVE SHUTOUT FOR SAROS
Juuse Saros turned aside all 43 shots he faced to backstop the Predators (26-11-6, 58 points) over the Golden Knights. Nashville moved within three points of Vegas (29-11-3, 61 points) for first place in the Western Conference standings.

Saros who established a club record for most saves in a shutout on Dec. 14 at EDM (46) – became the first goaltender in franchise history to record multiple 40-save shutouts with the Predators. He also became the first on any team to do so in a single season since Jonathan Quick in 2015-16 (w/ LAK).
