Crosby shares what still gives him the fire to perform ahead of 22nd NHL season

With 22 seasons, Sidney Crosby will have played longer than any pro athlete in Pittsburgh sports history and there will be more milestone watching for the 39-year-old as he could reach the top 5 in all-time points this year. Ahead of yet another season opener, Crosby was asked Tuesday what still gives him that fire to perform.


The Talking Point: Was it the same problems of the past for the Oilers?

The Mike Babcock era got off to a losing start in Edmonton with the head coach saying his team had 'serious work to do' in order to set a better standard for themselves. TSN Hockey analyst Jamie McLennan discusses whether or not we saw the same old problems for the Oilers.

Jack Eichel had a goal and two assists to reach 701 career points, and the Vegas Golden Knights beat the Chicago Blackhawks 5-2 in their season opener Tuesday night.


NHL: Canadiens 3, Maple Leafs 2

Alexandre Carrier's third period goal was the game-winner and Jakub Dobes made 26 saves to back the Canadiens to their first win of the season. Auston Matthews 10-0-0 home opener win streak came to an end with the loss.
