Tyler Seguin has put himself in the Dallas Stars' record books.

By recording a hat trick in Friday's win over Calgary, the 25-year-old center set a Stars' record, and tied Mike Modano's franchise record dating back to the Minnesota North Stars days, per Josh Bogorad of Fox Sports Southwest.

His third goal of the night came by way of an empty net, but the previous, game-winning tally was the most impressive.

Seguin now has 201 goals to his credit, with 144 scored as a Star.

In a meeting of the top picks from the 2015 NHL Draft, number two came out on top.

Jack Eichel - selected second overall that year - and the Buffalo Sabres hosted Connor McDavid - the first pick - and the Edmonton Oilers on Friday, with both teams entering the game near the bottom of the league's standings.

Buffalo opened the scoring in the second period, and Eichel tallied the eventual game-winner in the 3-1 decision at the 43-second mark of the third.

In the end, Eichel held an advantage over McDavid in the personal stats, while the Sabres (30th) jumped to within two points of the Oilers (29th) in the standings.

These two teams will face off in Edmonton on Jan. 23.

One could not have scripted this moment any better.

As the New Jersey Devils hosted 'Hockey Fights Cancer' night at the Prudential Center on Friday, center Brian Boyle notched his second goal of the season off a brilliant rush by rookie defenseman Will Butcher.

Boyle was diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia on Sept. 19 and returned to the lineup on Nov. 1 after missing the opening 10 games of the season.

Prior to the game, Boyle and his family participated in a ceremonial puck drop.

It's not always a good day when you're trending on Twitter.

That's the case for Philadelphia Flyers coach Dave Hakstol, whose name took form in the aptly titled #FireHakstol hashtag following his team's latest loss.

Friday's overtime defeat to the New York Islanders marked seven straight losses for the Flyers, who have collected just four points over that time for an 0-3-4 showing.

Philadelphia entered the stretch with an 8-6-2 record, but has since fallen to 8-9-3 and is three points removed from a playoff position.

That's left Flyers faithful calling for a change behind the bench:

Hakstol joined the Flyers in 2015 following an 11-year run as head coach at the University of North Dakota. He owns an 88-69-30 record over part of three seasons in Philadelphia.

Should the Flyers opt to make a coaching change, it will come at a price, as Hakstol is signed through the 2019-20 season, as per CapFriendly.

Hakstol is the lone hire by general manager Ron Hextall, who inherited former bench boss Craig Berube upon his 2014 appointment.

The man behind Los Angeles Kings mascot "Bailey" is being sued for allegedly groping the buttocks of a former Staples Center dishwasher in 2016, according to ABC News.

The club acknowledged the suit Friday, denying its merits.

Plaintiff Maso Griffin claims the incident involving Tim Smith - the man behind the Bailey costume - took place in an elevator and that he was fired from his job two days later after complaining to human resources director Melissa Smith, wife of the defendant.

Griffin says Smith put one hand on his shoulder and squeezed his buttocks with the other.

The suit also alleges Griffin's coworkers poked fun of him after the incident, asking, "Was his hand furry?"

Also named in the suit are Kings' owner Anschutz Entertainment Group Inc., as well as Levy Restaurants Inc. and Compass Group USA, which both provide food services to Staples Center.

It appears Carey Price has learned his lesson.

For the the second time in three seasons, Price suffered an injury during pregame warmup, but opted to play through the pain instead of pulling himself immediately following the injury.

Ahead of his first start in nearly a month, Price admitted that playing through the injury wasn't the smartest decision.

"It was right at the end of warmup, and I didn't want to throw Monty (backup goalie Al Montoya) under the bus," Price told Sportsnet's Eric Engels. "Felt like I was good enough to go, but looking back it probably wasn't the greatest idea. Nothing I can do about it now."

Luckily for Price and the Canadiens, he only missed 10 games with the lower-body injury. In 2015-16, he was limited to just 12 games all season after suffering an injury under similar circumstances.

Carey Price is back.

The Montreal Canadiens' star goaltender will make a return to the crease Saturday night against the Buffalo Sabres, the Canadiens confirmed after practice Friday.

Price missed the last 10 games with an injury the club both initially and subsequently deemed "minor."

Much like the team itself, Price struggled before sitting out with the ailment, going 3-7-1 with an .877 save percentage and a goals-against average of 3.77.
