Overall, it was the 37th time in League history that a blueliner collected four points in one frame and 11th instance in the first period.
* Sergachev and Bobby Orr are the only defensemen in NHL history to notch multiple goals and multiple assists in the first period of a game.
* Sergachev also tied the Lightning record for points in any period by a player of any position, equaling a feat last achieved by Martin St. Louis on Feb. 12, 2009. He was the first Tampa Bay defenseman to tally four points in the opening period of a game.

BRUINS SET FRANCHISE RECORD 98 YEARS IN THE MAKING

A franchise record 98 years in the making was set Sunday as the Bruins improved to 9-0-0 at TD Garden to establish the longest season-opening home win streak in club history. Hampus Lindholm (0-3-3) tallied his second three-assist outing of the season as the Bruins (14-2-0, 28 points) took the outright lead in points atop the NHL standings and moved to a League-best 10-0-0 when scoring first.
* This is the 14th time the Bruins have strung together a home winning streak of at least nine games at any point in a campaign and first since 2018-19 (12-0-0 from Feb. 5 - March 27, 2019).
* Linus Ullmark (29 saves) has manned the net in seven of Boston's nine home games this season, owning a 7-0-0 record to go along with a .945 save percentage and 1.68 goals-against average in those contests. He is the fourth goaltender in Bruins history to post a home winning streak of seven or more games from their first home appearance of a campaign, following Gilles Gilbert (16-0-0 in 1973-74), Ross Brooks (8-0-0 in 1973-74) and Manny Fernandez (7-0-0 in 2008-09).
* Ullmark has a record of 21-3-1 in 28 home games since joining Boston in 2021-22 (.750 W%). Among goaltenders with at least 15 home appearances over that span, only Florida's Sergei Bobrovsky (.771 W%; 27-3-1 in 35 GP) has a higher win percentage. Bobrovsky won nine straight home decisions to start the 2021-22 season, with seven of those earned during the Panthers' NHL record-tying season-opening home win streak noted in the graphic above.

JETS AND SHARKS SHOW NO QUIT, EARN COMEBACK WINS ON THE ROAD

The Jets and Sharks each rallied from behind on the road to win, boosting the total number of comeback victories in 2022-23 to 120 - the most ever at this stage of a campaign (243 GP).
* Jets captain Blake Wheeler (1-0-1) scored his 300th career goal in dramatic fashion, tying the game with six seconds remaining in regulation to force extra time, where Mark Scheifele (2-0-2) netted his 12th career overtime winner - the most by any skater in franchise history - to seal the comeback victory. Wheeler's tally was the latest tying goal in the NHL this season and the second in the final minute of regulation in 2022-23 (also Oskar Sundqvist: 19:19 of P3 on Oct. 17 w/ DET).
* Erik Karlsson (0-1-1) assisted on San Jose's game-tying goal with less than five minutes remaining in the third period to boost his defensemen-leading point total to 10-12-22 and help the Sharks stage their first multi-goal, third period comeback win of the season. It was the NHL's 20th such victory of 2022-23, the most ever at this stage of a campaign (243 GP).

ROBERTSON, PAVELSKI HELP STARS KEEP PACE ATOP CENTRAL DIVISION

The duo of Jason Robertson (1-1-2) and Joe Pavelski (1-2-3) each registered multiple points to help the Stars earn a road win in Philadelphia and keep pace with the Jets atop the Central Division standings. It marked Dallas' fifth consecutive win against the Flyers, tied for their longest active streak against one opponent (also 5 GP vs. ANA).
* Robertson extended his point streak to eight games (8-8-16 in 8 GP) - he has scored at least one goal in seven of those eight contests. Additionally, it marked Robertson's eighth multi-point game of the season (15 GP), tied with Nathan MacKinnon (8 in 13 GP) and David Pastrnak (8 in 16 GP) for the second most in the NHL this season behind only Connor McDavid (9 in 16 GP).
* Pavelski's three points marked his fifth multi-point game of the season and 41st since joining Dallas in 2019-20. Only two Stars have notched more multi-point games for the franchise than the now 38-year-old Pavelski over that span: Roope Hintz (45) and Robertson (44).
