Recap:
The day after being traded from the Boston Bruins, Bob Sweeney wanted to make an impression with his new team and did just that.  He scored a powerplay goal in the 2nd period and later would score the tying goal with just over 10 minutes remaining in regulation.  Sweeney would talley 6 shots and was instrumental on the penalty kill.  He would later earn first star honors.
Overall, the game was back and forth with 5 lead changes.  Neither Darren Puppa or Frank Pietrangelo were impressive as they saved 7 of 15 GR chances combined.  Pat Lafontaine (2) and Dave Andreychuk (2) also scored for the Sabres.  For Hartford, Andrew Cassels had a goal and 2 assists and Geoff Sanderson scored what was the go ahead goal (2) on the powerplay just 15 seconds into the second period.
In the closing seconds of overtime, it appeared a tie was almost locked in.  The Sabres went on one last rush and Pat LaFontaine elected to roll the dice and pass instead of take a shot.  LaFontaine hit Mogilny who broke free from the Hartford defense, and Mogilny blasted the puck past Pietrangelo for the last-second victory.

Recap:
In a battle of two teams who have looked impressive the first week, the scoring came early and often.  Dave Reid of the Bruins and Pierre Turgeon exchanged their second goals of the season in the first 6 minutes, and Benoit Hogue scored his 3rd to put the Islanders up 2-1.  Late in the period, Adam Oates and Dave Poulin (3) scored 1:33 apart to push Boston ahead 3-2.  Boston had a shot margin after 1 period of 19-7 and Al Arbour was visibly frustrated with his team.  The Islanders came out and played a near perfect road period in the second, but Steve Heinze scored with 6 seconds left in the 2nd to put Boston up 4-2.  He would also add his 2nd 2:38 into the 3rd for the 5-2 lead.
The Islanders would chip away in the 3rd with goals from Marty McInnis (2), and another from Pierre Turgeon (3).  The comeback would fall short, however, as Vladimir Ruzicka scored an empty net goal (2) to seal the 6-4 victory.  Boston finished with a 45-23 shot advantage.

Recap:  John Vanbiesbrouck was perfect in his first start of the season, as he saved each of New Jersey's 29 shots to lead the New York Rangers to a 3-0 victory at Brendan Byrne Arena.  The Rangers were putting on a lot of pressure in the 1st period and Doug Weight finally broke the scoreless tie 12:29 in.  The game was very tight checking and would remain 1-0 until Darren Turcotte scored his 3rd goal of the season on a rebound in the crease 7:20 into the 3rd period.  Later in the 3rd period, Mike Gartner cashed in a powerplay goal on a tic tac toe passing play from Beukeboom and Turcotte to ice the game at 3-0.

Recap:
The Ottawa Senators playing in their first road game refused to go down without a fight.  Steve Weeks would be solid in his first start.  Quebec was relentless in the first period, tallying 17 shots.  Just over 15 minutes in, Andrei Kovalenko scored his 2nd of the season on the powerplay, putting the Nordiques ahead.  Mark Lamb answered with an unassisted goal 8:24 into the second for Ottawa to tie the game at 1.  Alexei Gusarov and Owen Nolan then each scored their 1st goals of the season to propel Quebec to a 3-1 lead within minutes of Ottawa tying the game.  At the 16:53 mark of the 3rd period, Sylvain Turgeon scored to close the margin to 3-2 and there were visions of another Ottawa comeback.  Ottawa would have a late powerplay, but Turgeon would be denied by Ron Hextall on 2 point blank chances in the last minute to seal the victory.

Recap:
It took him just longer than 3 games, but Eric Lindros finally got on the board with his first NHL Goal, first point, first GWG, and first SHG 2:32 in overtime to lift the Flyers to a 2-1 victory in Overtime against the winless Washington Capitals.  It was a tight checking game, but Washington carried the play in the 2nd period.  Bob Carpenter scored a goal with just under 6 minutes remaining in the 2nd to give Washington a 1-0 lead.  Don Beaupre was fantastic in net for Washington, but mark Recchi was finally able to solve him with just 5 minutes and change left in regulation.  Both teams went 0 for 6 on the powerplay, but special teams would be the difference as the Flyers had to kill a Shawn Cronin penalty at the end of regulation and the beginning of overtime, and Eric Lindros' game winner came with teammate Dimitri Yuskevich in the box in overtime.

Recap:
It was a highly anticipated match up at the Montreal Forum, and the first game of the Hockey Night in Canada double header.  The defending Stanley Cup Champion Pittsburgh Penguins vs. 1992-1993 Stanley Cup hopeful, Montreal Canadiens.  Some fireworks were expected on the scoreboard.  Rick Tochett did not disappoint, putting Pittsburgh up 1-0 just 22 seconds into the game.  However, goaltenders Tom Barrasso and Patrick Roy were stellar in net.  Vince Damphousse tied the game on the powerplay in the closing minutes of the 1st, then the tie was not broken until the 3rd period, when Kirk Muller took the lead for good for Montreal, who won the statement game.

Recap:
The Edmonton Oilers continue to stagger out of the gate, dropping their 3rd straight game and failing to give Vancouver any resistance, losing 6-2.  The game was over in the 1st period for all intents and purposes.  Linden, Nedved, and Ronning all scored for Vancouver, jumping out to a 3-0 lead with Kirk McLean in net, who was yet to allow a goal in 1992-1993.  Tom Fergus and Petr Klima would exchange goals in the 2nd to make the score 4-1 Canucks, but Trevor Linden and Petr Nedved would provide the final blows with their 3rd of the season each.  Linden also assisted on Ronning's marker making this a 3 point night.

Recap:
Detroit would make this game a laugher at the Cow Palace.  They would score 10 goals on only 41 shots to cruise to a 10-4 landslide, which was not even as close as the already lopsided score indicates.  Detroit went 4 for 6 on the powerplay, had 11 different point-getters, and say Steve Yzerman score a hat trick to push his total to (5).  Paul Ysebaert had 2 goals of his own for Detroit (3).  Johan Garpenlow had 2 goals in the losing effort, and Pat Falloon and Sandis Ozilinsh each potted their 2nd of the season.  Chaisson, Ysebaert, Yzerman, Probert, Ciccarelli, Lidstrom, Chiasson, Federov, and Howe all had multi-point games for the Red Wings.  Both goaltenders were awful only saving 2 of 13 goalie ratings and 48 of 62 shots total.  Suprisingly, San Jose chose to leave Hayward in for the slaughter.

Recap:
Mike Krushelnyski scored twice in 33 seconds early in the second period in the second half of the Hockey Night In Canada Double Header.  Felix Potvin was close to carring a Maple Leaf shutout streak to start the season to 6 periods, but Joe Nieuwendyk scored with 41 seconds remaining in the second period to cut the maple Leaf lead in half.  Calgary was all over the Leafs in the 3rd period, outshooting them 14-5.  The 3rd period got chippy as well.  Wendell Clark and Theo Fleury got into a heated fistfight, and less than a minute later, Mike Vernon and Joe Sacco got tangled up.  Sergei Makarov was finally able to put away the tying goal with 1:14 remaining in the 3rd.  Both teams exchanged chances in the 3rd period, but could not capitalize.  Calgary outshot the Leafs 38-23 overall.  Krushelnyski was given the 1st star, and Felix Potvin the 2nd.

Recap:
The talk of the league going into Saturday was the Los Angeles Kings.  However, they received some bad news before the game as league leager in goals Tomas Sandstrom was a late scratch due to injury.  Wayne Gretzky is also still injured.  Los Angeles also gave Kelly Hrudey rest and played backup Robb Stauber.
Winnipeg would take advantage early.  Evgeny Davidov, Teemu Selanne (4), and Ed Olczyk (2) all scored in the first 7 minutes of the 1st period on Winnipeg's 1st 3 shots.  Luc Robitaille potted his 3rd of the season and 10th point on the powerplay right after to make it 3-1.  That is the closest the Kings would get.  Despite only getting 24 shots, the Jets put 7 past Robb Stauber.  Teemu Selanne scored a hat trick (6) to take over the league lead in goals and take 1st star.  Alexei Zhamnov and Phil Housley had 3 assists each.  Davydov would add his second goal of the game in the 3rd period.  Luc Robitaille had 2 goals (4) to extend his league lead in point total to 11.  Los Angeles was still lethal on the powerplay going 2 of 5, and Winnipeg scored 7 goals despite not having one man advantage.
Winnipeg 2-1-0 (4) t-1st Smythe, Los Angeles 2-1-0 (4) t-1st Smythe

First Star of the Day:

Jets Rookie Teemu Selanne scored a hat trick, to lead the Winnipeg Jets past a very hot Los Angeles Kings team in a Smythe Division showdown.  Selanne has 6 goals which lead the NHL.

Recap:
The Spectrum in  was abuzz in anticipation of Eric Lindros' first game in Philadelphia.  Although Lindros was disappointing for the 2nd straight game (-1 and 1 shoy on goal), the crowd did not leave disappointed as their Flyers pulled out a 5-4 victory.  Overall, the New Jersey Devils carried the play for most of the game, but the Flyers capitalized when it counted and scored 4 straight goals in the 2nd period and went a perfect 3 for 3 on the powerplay, while killing off 6 of 7 short handed situations.  Bobby Holik put the Devils up early with two straight first period goals.  Brennan, Dineen, Kasper, and Brind'Amour all scored for the Flyers in period 2.  Claude Lemieux would then score at the end of the 2nd period and early in the 3rd to tie the game up at 4.  However, with Ken Daneyko in the penalty box, Brent Fedyk scored on the feed from Mark Recchi with just under 5 minutes remaining to take the lead 5-4.  As time expired, with Chris Terreri pulled for the extra attacker, Bobby Holik had a golden opportunity to tie the game and get the hat trick.  However, Dominic Roussel stonewalled Holik to seal the Flyer victory.  It was a rough night for Chris Terreri as he was only able to make 19 saves on 24 shots.

Recap:
The Rangers, in their 1992-1993 season opener, set out to spoil the Washington Capitals' home opener at the Capital Center.  In an open first period, Don Beaupre and Mike Richter held their own.  The lone blemish was a shorthanded effort by the Rangers when Darren Turcotte sprung Jan Erixon loose on a breakaway and he beat Beaupre stick-side.  The Rangers would start early in the second.  less than 3 minutes in, Darren Turcotte scored from the top of the circle, which was his 2nd point and 1st of 2 goals on the night.  11:04 into the 2nd period, on the powerplay, Al Iafrate found a shooting lane and unleashed a cannon, which found the top corner of the net.  That ended a scoreless drought to start the season for the Capitals at 91:04.  Mark Messier would add another ranger goal, his first of the season with just under 3 minutes remaining in the 2nd to put the Rangers up 3-1.  The back-breaker came off the stick of Darren Turcotte, short-handed  early in the 3rd period.  With 1:54 left, Mike Ridley lost control near the blueline and the puck bounced to Turcotte who threw it on net and beat Washington goalie Don Beaupre.  With 2 short-handed goals against, Terry Murray may wish he could decline penalties.  Kelly Miller scored halfway through the 3rd period for Washington, but it was too little, too late.  The Rangers did a great job of clogging the ice, and stifled any Washington opportunities.
New York Rangers 1-0-0 (2) t-3rd Patrick, Washington 0-2-0 (0) t-5th Patrick


First Star of the night:

New York Rangers' Darren Turcotte.  2 Goals (1 SH), 1 Assist, +3, 6 Shots on Goal, won 6 of 9 faceoffs to lead the Rangers to a 4-2 win over the Capitals to start the season.

Recap:
It appeared Buffalo was going to take control of their opener, however, the Quebec Nordiques had other plans for the 3rd period.  After Scott Young opened up a 2-0 Quebec lead 9:38 into the 2nd period, Buffalo came roaring back.  Dave Andreychuk, and 2 goals by Alexander Mogilny, all within 4:38 in the second period stole the lead from Quebec.  Scoreboard, shots, and momentum was all on Buffalo's side headed into the 3rd period.  However, Quebec saw goals from Steve Duchesne, Mats Sundin, Valeri Kamensky, and Andrei Kovalenko in the 3rd period, while outshooting the Sabres 20-7 to snag an impressive 6-4 road victory.  The Quebec powerplay proved to be the difference in the game, going 3 for 4.  Kerry Huffman finished with a goal and 2 helpers, while Mats Sundin had a goal and an assist of his own.  Alexander Mogilny had 2 goals in the losing effort.  The Sabres wanted to see what they had with new acquisition Dominik Hasek, but they were left disappointed.

Recap:
The Boston Bruins were determined to come flying out of the gate, but nobody in the sold out Boston Garden expected such a lopsided game.  Murray Craven drew first blood for Hartford, but after that, the ice was tilted in one direction.  The Bruins were leading 7-2 after 2 periods, and held a 43-10 shot advantage.  The 3rd period was a formality, but the Bruins mustered one more goal which finally sent goalie Sean Burke to the bench.  Frank Pietrangelo finished the game for Hartford making all 7 saves.  Dave Poulin had 2 goals and an assist, while Dmitri Kvartalnov had a goal and 3 helpers for the Bruins who cruised to an 8-3 victory, and finished with a 52-21 shot advantage.

Recap:
The Ottawa Civic Centre was filled to capacity to witness the Ottawa Senators' inaugural game vs. the Montreal Canadiens.  John LeClair scored just :29 seconds into the game and Patrice Brisebois added another just :35 seconds later and the Canadiens jumped out to a 2-0 lead 1:04 into the game.  9:32 Into the game, Laurie Boschman would tally the 1st ever goal in Ottawa Senators history assisted by Chris Luongo.  Peter Sidorkiewicz would turn aside the last 16 shots of the 1st period to remain down 1 going into the second.  Todd Ewen scored early in the 2nd period to quiet the home crowd and carry Montreal to a 3-1 lead.  Norm MacIver would bring the Senators within 1 with 4:39 remaining in the 2nd period on a nifty backhand.   The 3rd period was tight checking and it appeared Patrick Roy was too much and the clock would run out on the Senators.  Ottawa killed a penalty with just over 4 minutes left and Chris Luongo scored with 46 seconds left in the 3rd to tie the Canadiens 3-3.  Few chances were exchanged in overtime and 3-3 was the final result to the jubilance of the Ottawa Senators, and the dismay of the Montreal Canadiens.
Montreal 1-0-1 (3) 1st Adams, Ottawa 0-0-1 (1) 4th Adams

First Star of The Night:
Chris Luongo scored with 46 seconds remaining in the 3rd for the GTG in Ottawa's inaugural game.  He also had the lone assist on the first goal in franchise history.

Recap:
In a showdown of two Patrick Division winners from Tuesday night, overtime was not enough to declare a winner.  In a wild game, Pittsburgh delighted the crowd at the Igloo and scored 4 unanswered goals to take a 4-1 lead into the second intermission.  The New York Islanders would come roaring back in the 3rd frame, scoring 3 goals on only 7 shots to force overtime, and the game tying goal came from Dave Volek.  Pittsburgh enjoyed a full powerplay in overtime, but could not convert.  The game was chippy, seeing 6 coincidental penalty situations.  Pittsburgh was led by another strong game from Kevin Stevens (2g 3rd of the season) and Mario Lemieux (3 assists).  Benoit Hogue had a goal and an assist, while Uwe Krupp provided 3 helpers for the Islanders.

Recap:
Ulf Dahlen became the overtime hero in the second of a season-opening home and home series between Minnesota and St. Louis.  Along with the game winning breakaway goal 1:00 into overtime, Dahlen also added 2 assists.  Jon Casey was the difference, as the North Stars were being outshot 25-14 after 2 periods.  It was tied 2-2, until Garth Butcher rifled a snapshot into the top corner of the cage with 16 seconds remaining in the 2nd period to put the Blues up by 1.  Butcher would set up Igor Koralev just past the 4 minute mark of the 3rd period to take a commanding 4-2 lead.  Mike Craig and Dave Gagner would score less than 3 minutes apart
 to knot the game at 4 before the 3rd period was half over.  This would set up Ulf Dahlen's overtime heroics as he slid his breakaway shot beneath goaltender Guy Hebert.  Craig Janney had 2 goals for the Blues in a losing effort.  Minnesota players credit Darien Hatcher getting the best of Ron Wilson in a fight when they were trailing 2-0 in the second period as a key turning point.

Recap:
The Edmonton Oilers and Calgary Flames renewed their rivalry for the 1st time in the 1992-1993 season.  After Bernie Nichols and Craig Berube exchanged 1st period goals, Edmonton and Calgary played a close-to-the-vest, tight checking game until the 3rd period.  Gary Roberts and Scott Mellanby fought twice which brought the Saddledome crowd to their feet.  Mellanby got the better of Roberts at the end of the 1st period, but they met again almost halfway through the 3rd when Roberts was able to pull Mellanby's jersey over his head and left him with a gash on his nose.  Gary Suter scored for Calgary at the 3:55 mark of the 3rd, but Chris Joseph and Josef Beranek both scored within the next 2 and a half minutes to take a 4-3 Edmonton lead.  Paul Ranheim was able to jam a rebound home 3 minutes after the go ahead goal to tie it at 4.  This left Robert Reichel to be the hero 1:06 in overtime on a pretty passing play from Theo Fleury and Gary Roberts.  Fleury finished with 2 assists, and Bernie Nichols had a goal and an assist for the visiting Oilers.

Recap:
Looking to turn the page from a difficult expansion year, the San Jose Sharks wanted to start the season on the right foot at their opener in The Cow Palace.  Ed Olczyk opened the scoring for Winnipeg just 3:18 into the game.  Sandish Ozolinsh tied the game later in the first period with a shot from the point.  The teams would exchange goals the entire game, with San Jose battling back to tie it up 3 times in a row.  With just over 8 minutes left in the 3rd period, Teemu Selanne would break the pattern, roofing the puck on a breakaway for his 2nd of the night and 3rd of the season.  Things looked bleak for the Sharks as Neil Wilkinson took a penalty down by 2 with just over 3 minutes left.  Kelly Kisio would make the score 5-4 with a shorthanded goal on a long shot, and San Jose put on all the pressure they could muster for the last minute.  Bob Essensa held strong though for his 1st win of the season.  Darrin Shannon had 3 assists for the Jets, and Sandis Ozolinsh had a goal and 2 assists for the Sharks who fell short.
Winnipeg 1-1-0 (2) t-2nd Smythe, San Jose 0-1-0 (0) t-5th Smythe
