The Florida Panthers improved to 4-2-2; the Canucks fell to 2-6-1.

Wild 5-4 Blues
A Matthew Boldy hat-trick and three goals in the second period were enough to hold off a late St. Louis Blues third period rally to take home their fifth win of the season, improving to 5-2-0.
Defenseman Jack Hughes extended his season-opening point streak to eight games after finishing with two assists. Meanwhile, Blues' Mason McTavish scored his fifth goal of the season and now has eight points in seven games.
Blues fell to 3-3-1.

The Preds fell to 2-3-3, while the Sharks got back in the win column and improved to 4-3-0.
