On Thursday night (Nov. 16), the NHL had some brilliant performances including a super-fast scoring spree, a first-time hat trick, and several impressive goalies on the ice. Here are five of the best performers from the NHL from Thursday's games!
Darcy Kuemper - Arizona Coyotes
Kuemper easily had the star performance of the night for an NHL goalie. He had 45 saves on the night and allowed just one goal for the Predators. That was huge as Arizona took the game 2-1 and moved to 9-8-1 for the season.
Darcy Kuemper made a career-high 45 saves in last night’s victory over Nashville.
