Notable:

Mark Scheifele has 25 goals of the season in game 44. That’s how many goals he scored in 74 games last season. On pace for 47 goals this season.

It was also the 50th point of the season for Mark Scheifele which is the tenth straight season he’s got to the 50 point mark.

The penalty kill is trending up as they went 2/2 in this game. In their last three games they’ve killed 11 of the 12 penalties they’ve taken.

Connor Hellebuyck has as many shutouts (6) as he does regulation losses (6). That’s insane. And according to the team that ties the franchise record for most by a goalie in a single season and there is still almost half a season to go. Wild.
