Top players from Tuesday in the NHL
Reilly Smith, Golden Knights
Vegas doubled up the Kraken 4-2 thanks to Smith’s way to open the third period. He scored twice in the opening 76 second to take the game from a 2-2 score to 4-2 in favor of the Golden Knights.
We’d be remiss if we didn’t show some love to four goalies from Tuesday night. Jordan Binnington, Marc-Andre Fleury, Adin Hill, and John Gibson were all fantastic in helping their teams to wins.
Binnington made 39 saves in regulation and overtime and then four more in the shootout as the Blues edged the Jets 3-2.

Adin Hill kept the Flames at bay making 37 saves during a 4-1 win for the Sharks. Troy Terry extended his points streak to 12 games with an overtime winner and an assist, while John Gibson stopped 41 of 43 Canucks shots during the 3-2 victory for Anaheim.
