This year marks the fifth anniversary of Budweiser's famous Red Light, which has commemorated thousands of goals since its inception.

In celebration of that, Budweiser is teaming up with a man whose goal-scoring prowess is second to none, Wayne Gretzky, to make goal celebrations even bigger with limited-edition Wayne Gretzky Gold-Synced Lights, marked with his legendary No. 99 and replica signature, along with a certificate of authenticity.

"Goals are the most exciting part of any hockey game, and as someone who has played hockey at all levels of the game, including the international stage, there's no better feeling than having the country celebrate those moments with you," Gretzky said. "I'm excited to light these limited-edition lamps to celebrate our country's biggest goals. Let's bring it home!"

Budweiser will turn the iconic Red Light and Goal-Synced Glass gold in a 30-second TV spot called "Bring it Home" that will air during Super Bowl LII.

Watch the video below to see Gretzky alongside other hockey greats, with gold-synced lights in hand. Must be legal drinking age.

Jonathan Bernier is brilliantly backstopping the Colorado Avalanche to many a victory of late.

Last season's last-place club extended its win streak to eight games courtesy of a 5-3 decision over San Jose on Thursday, and Bernier has been between the pipes for the past seven victories.

The win over the Sharks was the first time he allowed more than two goals over the course of the streak, but he did stop 45 of 48 shots, good for a .938 save percentage.

That single-game success rate is actually Bernier's second-lowest over his past seven starts.

Bernier was signed to a one-year, $2.75-million contract last summer with a view to spotting starter Semyon Varlamov. With the latter shelved with an injury, Bernier is certainly providing excellent value for a club surprisingly in playoff contention.

Frederik Andersen didn't mince words after the Toronto Maple Leafs blew yet another lead Thursday.

For the third time in the past four games, the Leafs were up in the third period but couldn't hold on, this time losing in overtime to the Philadelphia Flyers.

The setbacks are clearly wearing on the goaltender.

"We've got to regroup, we've got to figure out who wants to commit to playing as a team," Andersen said postgame. "I think we have a few days now until our next game - one day between - but we've got to look at the attitude. We played well enough for two periods, but we've got to find a way to keep the foot on the gas the whole game. We can't be satisfied with two periods."

The game-tying goal came off a shorthanded odd-man rush early in the third period, another bothersome event for Andersen.

"I think it's a lack of effort at certain points and we've got to figure this out if we want to play any meaningful hockey later. We've got to figure it out."

Despite the recent trend, Toronto sits comfortably in third place in the Atlantic Division - 12 points up on Detroit in the "race" for that playoff spot. But as far as Andersen is concerned, there's no coasting through any part of the regular season.

"We're sitting pretty good, I think we've got it pretty comfortable, but that can't be any reason for not playing the right way. We've got to be ready when it comes to past the (All-Star) break here. It's going to be a lot tougher with teams trying to catch us. We can't slide like this."

Toronto's next game is Saturday in Ottawa.

The Toronto Maple Leafs let another lead get away from them on Thursday night.

After mounting a 2-0 advantage in the second period in their clash with the Philadelphia Flyers, the club watched as its gutsy effort was quickly erased with the Flyers tying the game before the third period was four minutes old.

The Maple Leafs took the Flyers to the extra session - which they have done in five of their last six games - but ultimately Sean Couturier had the dagger just 18 seconds in to hand the Maple Leafs their fourth straight loss.

The game was an example of a recent trend that has found its way into the Maple Leafs' game - blowing leads. Thursday marked the fourth time in the last six that the Maple Leafs have coughed up a lead.

Of course, this unfortunate fad is nothing new for the Maple Leafs, as fans might recall the club was notorious last season for giving up leads late in games as well. In fact, the team blew 11 leads of two or more goals in 82 games last season, according to TSN's Kristen Shilton, who defines a blown lead as being when the opposing team is able to secure at least one point.

Luckily for the Maple Leafs, the so-called "pity points" have allowed them to construct a 12-point lead over the next-closest Atlantic club (the Detroit Red Wings), meaning there's no panic in Leaf Land - yet.

Patrice Bergeron has found his scoring touch to begin 2018.

The Boston Bruins center recorded a hat trick in a win over the New York Islanders on Thursday, only five games after notching his first career four-goal game (Jan. 6 vs. Carolina).

These kinds of outbursts are rare for Bergeron, who had only one career hat trick heading into the new year. He's been a consistent scoring threat over the course of his career, however, averaging 24 goals for every 82 games played.

The latest three goals gave him 278, pushing him past Wayne Cashman for seventh on the Bruins' all-time list - 11 behind Ken Hodge.

"I had a chance to learn from Cash my first few years," Bergeron said postgame, according to the Bruins' Twitter account. "He was a great person, I've heard only great things about him as a player and the way he played the game. It's always great to hear and great honors.

"But at the same time, I'm really worried about what I can control, which is helping my team get some more wins."

The Bruins are indeed winning games, having picked up at least a point in their past 15. Boston now sits only five points back of the NHL-leading Lightning, with one game in hand.

With a firm grasp on the No. 1 spot in the Western Conference, the Vegas Golden Knights are now looking to claim top spot in the league.

With a commanding 4-1 win over the top-ranked Tampa Bay Lightning on Thursday night, the Golden Knights moved to within a win of the Lightning for the best record in the NHL. What's more, the Golden Knights also have a game in hand on Tampa Bay.

With a 4-3 win over the Tampa Bay back in mid-December, Vegas has now swept the season series with the NHL's top club - outscoring the Lightning 8-4.

Don't look now, but if the Golden Knights keep rolling they could just become the first expansion club to capture the Presidents' Trophy.

The Philadelphia Flyers retired Eric Lindros' No. 88 on Thursday, forever uniting one of the game's greats with the team he spent his most dominant seasons with, and from which he later infamously parted ways.

Thirteen months after stepping back into the fold by playing with the Flyers at the 50th Anniversary Alumni game against the Pittsburgh Penguins, Lindros credited two special people for making this particular occasion possible.

"It's no secret that when I left Philadelphia, it was under less than ideal circumstances," Lindros said during his speech. "I believe I'm here today - hockey aside - because of two people: my wife Kina, and (Flyers president) Paul Holmgren. Both in their own ways have taught me to move on, put in the past any differences of opinion, any hurt feelings.

"It was time to remember the great moments I experienced here in Philadelphia, the friendships I have built in this great city, and the respect I have for the fans of this team."

Perhaps Holmgren said it best earlier in the night:

Lindros won the Hart Trophy in 1995 and led the Flyers to the Stanley Cup Final in 1997, amassing big numbers and levying bigger hits along the ways. A series of concussions and subsequent questions over his treatment by the team's medical staff led to an ugly end to his tenure with the club, culminating in a 2001 trade to the New York Rangers that was made by then-general manager, Bobby Clarke.

He appeared in 486 regular-season games for the Flyers, recording 290 goals, 369 assists, and 946 penalty minutes, and was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2016.
