Rick Nash reached an impressive feat Tuesday night, tapping in his 400th career goal in the third period versus the Vancouver Canucks.
The goal was his seventh of the season, as Nash is quietly enjoying a refreshing bounce-back season after only tallying 15 in 2015-16 season.

It took 14 games, but Loui Eriksson has scored for the first time as a member of the Vancouver Canucks.
The high-priced free-agent acquisition took a pass from Daniel Sedin and shoveled one in on the backhand to get the monkey off his back late in the second period Tuesday night against the New York Rangers.
Vancouver forwards Alex Burrows and Sven Baertschi added their first goals of the season in the third period.
The Canucks signed Eriksson to a six-year, $36-million deal on July 1, but the veteran winger managed only four assists in the first 13 games with his new club.

Erik Gudbranson's threat toward Matt Martin reportedly caught the attention of the NHL.
Following a chippy 6-3 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday, the Vancouver Canucks blue-liner said Martin's "f-----g dead."
NHL executive Colin Campbell reportedly spoke to Canucks general manager Jim Benning, saying Gudbranson better stay in line when the two clubs meet again Dec. 3 or he'll face "harsh repercussions," according to TSN's Darren Dreger.
Dreger reports the issue isn't on the league's front burner, but it takes a "threat of that magnitude" very seriously.
The Canucks and Leafs combined for 171 penalty minutes in the contest, including 10 for Gudbranson and 19 for Martin.

Give the first period to Connor McDavid in his first-ever matchup with Sidney Crosby.
The Edmonton Oilers' captain used his terrific vision to set up a pair of goals in the first 20 minutes Tuesday night against the Pittsburgh Penguins.
McDavid took a slick pass from Patrick Maroon and fed Jordan Eberle for the tying goal late in the opening frame.
McDavid one-upped himself less than three minutes later, blowing past Penguins defenseman Brian Dumoulin and dishing a perfect backhand pass to Maroon for the Oilers' second marker.
McDavid picked up his third assist of the game on Eberle's second goal of the contest early in the second period.
Crosby was on the ice for the Oilers' first two goals. Over to you, Sid.

Nazem Kadri can't be punished further for his blindside hit on Daniel Sedin, but the NHL's general managers will reportedly bring it up next time they meet.
The incident is going to be an added topic of conversation for the league's GMs, Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reported in Tuesday's edition of "30 Thoughts."

Kadri avoided supplemental discipline for the hit because his initial contact was with Sedin's body. The Vancouver Canucks forward's helmet was dislodged and his head hit the ice as he landed.
The Toronto Maple Leafs center obviously approved of the ruling, and Canucks GM Jim Benning was understandably disappointed.
Kadri was assessed charging and fighting majors in the aftermath. Sedin left briefly for evaluation but was able to return.
The GMs also reportedly plan to discuss Florida Panthers forward Vincent Trocheck's controversial shootout goal scored against the Tampa Bay Lightning last month.

The New York Rangers have traded defenseman Dylan McIlrath to the Florida Panthers for fellow blue-liner Steven Kampfer and a conditional seventh-round pick, TSN's Bob McKenzie reports.
The condition on the deal requires McIlrath to play 30 games this season for the Rangers to get the pick, according to Sportsnet's Chris Johnston.
McIlrath has played in only one of the Rangers' first 13 games, appearing in four AHL contests for the Hartford Wolf Pack. New York signed him to a one-year extension in July.
He's spent his entire six-year career in the Rangers' organization after being drafted 10th overall by the club in 2010.
Kampfer only appeared in a single game for his team this season before Tuesday's trade. He was in his third campaign with the Panthers after stints with the Minnesota Wild and the Boston Bruins.
