NHL Wednesday: Neuvirth extends shutout streak with win over Blackhawks

A week has passed since the 2015-16 NHL season began. Six teams remain winless. A few of them are unsurprising: Edmonton, New Jersey, Toronto and Carolina were all expected to race to the bottom of the NHL standings this year anyways. That they’re taking longer to earn a victory should come as a shock to no one.

What is somewhat surprising are the other teams without a win. Pittsburgh. Los Angeles. Anaheim. Columbus. All teams prepared to fight for playoff positions in march. All teams struggling to find their footing in October for one reason or another.

There are a few goalies in the NHL who excel at handling the puck behind their own net. The rest are generally okay-to-awful at it and should never leave their goal crease.

Which was a decent idea until he got it lost in his skates and sort of carried it into his own net.
