MAX DOMI

By Jan Levine, RotoWireSpecial to Yahoo SportsIn this space, we'll look at which NHL players are seeing their fantasy hockey values rise or fall on a week-to-week basis. He's hit the scoresheet in five of his last nine contests and sits with five goals, nine assists and a minus-seven rating in 21 games. After posting 72 points in 2018-19, Domi's production cratered the next two seasons before he rebounded last season with 39 points. Those two points gave the young pivotman 11 points — five goals and six assists — in 18 games. But beyond that stat, Spurgeon has been a major disappointment after posting 10 goals and 30 assists last season.

David Pastrnak scored two goals as the Boston Bruins tied the NHL record for most consecutive home wins to open a season with 11 by beating the Chicago Blackhawks 6-1.

Artturi Lehkonen and Valeri Nichushkin each scored two power-play goals, Mikko Rantanen had four assists and the fast-skating Colorado Avalanche began their Stanley Cup title defense with a 5-2 win over the Chicago Blackhawks.

"You're worried about winning the game and getting this series tied 2-2 and that's the biggest thing." “No, I wasn't happy with the (things) at the end of the game they initiated,” Gallant said after Sunday's game. They want to play like that, we got the guys that can match that.”The Rangers will be looking to even the series in Game 4 on Tuesday night (7 p.m. EDT, ESPN). “Some of those top guys, I think they start playing a little more physical and getting into battles a little more," he said.

Raanta, who had never started a postseason game before this series, was again steady in net. This time, the Hurricanes never trailed in the series before finally grinding through after dominating the Bruins in three regular-season meetings. SIX STRAIGHTThe Hurricanes improved to 6-0 in Game 7s since the former Hartford Whalers relocated to North Carolina in 1997. That includes the 2006 Stanley Cup finals against Edmonton, as well as a second-round series win on the road at Boston in 2009.
