Today is Tuesday, December 1, 2015 Today in Sports History 1924 - The Boston Bruins and the Montreal Maroons played the first NHL game to be played in the United States. The game was played at Boston Arena. 1964 - The Houston Colt .45s changed their name to the Astros. 1967 - Seattle was awarded an American League franchise. 1967 - Wilt Chamberlain set an NBA record when he missed 22 free throws. 1984 - Doug Flutie won the 50th Heisman Trophy. 1994 - Mike Frier (Seattle Seahawks) was paralyzed in a car accident. 2003 - Bidding began on the baseball that was deflected by a fan in the stands during a Chicago Cubs game. The ball was sold on December 18, 2003, for $106,600 at auction. The foul ball appeared to be headed for the glove of left fielder Moises Alou in Game 6 of the National League Championship series. The Florida Marlins ended up winning the game 8-3. The Cubs then lost Game 7.
Braden Holtby has never lost in regulation vs the Canadiens, going 6-0-2 with a 1.33 GAA & .950 SV% in 8 career starts.
a third of the way into the season, in spite of three of the most (presumably) gifted OHHfensive players in the game, only one team in the west (ducks) and two teams in the east (flyers, canes) have scored fewer goals than the penguins. NEED MOAR SPRONG
