Subban hits 40-point plateau for 5th straight season

P.K. Subban continues to be a model of consistency when it comes to point production.

The Nashville Predators star scored a goal and added an assist in a victory over the New York Rangers on Saturday night, giving him 40 points in 50 games so far this season.

It's the fifth consecutive campaign that Subban has posted at least 40 points, and he's now matched his total from last season in 16 fewer contests.

Coming into Saturday's action, he was one of only three defensemen leading his team in points, along with San Jose Sharks rearguard Brent Burns and John Klingberg of the Dallas Stars, who's now tied with Alexander Radulov.

Rangers’ Staal leaves game after vicious headshot from Preds’ Emelin

Nashville Predators rearguard Alexei Emelin better clear his schedule, as the NHL's Department of Player Safety will surely speak to him about the scary-looking elbow he delivered to New York Rangers defenseman Marc Staal's head.

Staal has dealt with serious injuries before, suffering three concussions throughout his 11-year career. He left the game halfway through the second period and didn't return due to what New York is calling an upper-body injury. Emelin, meanwhile, wasn't assessed a penalty on the play.

The controversial hits didn't end there, as later in the period Rangers forward Jimmy Vesey was rocked with a high hit from Filip Forsberg.

Vesey was bloodied on the play and also left the game with an upper-body injury and didn't return. Once again, no penalty was assessed.

Nashville earned the victory by a score of 5-2, but expect both Emelin and Forsberg to hear from George Parros and Co.

Bruins’ Rask extends point streak to 20 games with win over Maple Leafs

There are hot streaks, and then there's what Tuukka Rask is currently on.

The Boston Bruins have collected a point in 20 straight games when Rask is between the pipes, as the netminder owns an 18-0-2 record over that stretch. The streak is the fourth longest in Bruins franchise history, per NHL Public Relations.

Rask stopped 23 of 24 shots that came his way against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday night. The netminder has dominated the team that drafted him throughout his career in Boston, earning a 16-6-2 record and a .926 save percentage in 27 games against Toronto.

Rask, of course, was dealt to the Bruins in exchange for Andrew Raycroft shortly after the Leafs made him their first-round pick in 2005.

Boston sits comfortably in second place in the Atlantic Division, five points ahead of the Leafs with four games in hand.

Watch: Huberdeau’s late winner stands after goalie interference review

Another night, another goaltender interference controversy.

Huberdeau appeared to make contact with Red Wings goaltender Petr Mrazek, so the play was reviewed, but the goal was ultimately upheld.

Red Wings head coach Jeff Blashill was ejected from the game for arguing the call, according to WXYZ's Brad Galli.

Watch: Crosby nearly scores 400th goal by banking shot off Kinkaid’s head

Sidney Crosby is going to have to wait just a little bit longer for his 400th career goal.

The Pittsburgh Penguins captain had the goal he banked off of New Jersey Devils backup goaltender Keith Kinkaid waved off due to goaltender interference on Saturday.

Pittsburgh forward Bryan Rust interfered with Kinkaid on the play, but that didn't stop Sid from banking a slapper right off his dome and into the open net.

The goal was initially waived off and the call was subsequently upheld after video review. Nevertheless, a quirky moment on a near milestone goal for one of the greatest of this generation.

As for Kinkaid, he was shaken up on the play but remained in the game to earn the 3-1 victory for New Jersey.

Jagr posts multi-point game in return to Czech Republic

He might be dealing with a nagging knee injury, but Jaromir Jagr can still rack up the points.

The 45-year-old Czech forward returned to his hometown team, the Kladno Knights, Saturday evening and didn't disappoint, netting three assists after receiving a hero's welcome from the capacity crowd.

Given Jagr's popularity in the Czech Republic and the anticipation surrounding his return, the game was relocated almost 70 kilometers away to accommodate a larger crowd, according to Sportsnet's Mike Johnston.

His most recent NHL stint came to an end Monday after he cleared waivers and was assigned to Kladno from the Calgary Flames.

Leafs send Holl back to AHL after historic emergency recall stint

Justin Holl will head back to the Toronto Maple Leafs' AHL club with his head held high.

The 26-year-old rookie defenseman was sent back to the Toronto Marlies on Saturday to accommodate the return of Morgan Rielly, who was activated off injured reserve.

Holl scored in both of his first two NHL games after being summoned by the Leafs on an emergency recall, etching himself in the history books in the process.

With his goal against the New York Rangers on Thursday night, Holl became the first defenseman in franchise history and the sixth blue-liner in league history to score in each of his first two NHL games.

He tallied a goal in his debut against the New York Islanders one night earlier.
