Jessica Campbell, The Spittin' Chiclets Parlay and Mr. Ice Highlight The Top 5 Stories From Opening Night In The NHL
Yes, the season opened up over the weekend in Prague, Czechia, but Tuesday Night was the official opening of the NHL season and we were not disappointed. We'll keep this quick, here are the top stories from an incredible day.
Game Notes Top 5
1. Utah Hockey Club Premiere - The Phoenix/Arizona Coyotes are no longer and the Utah Hockey Club became its time in Salt Lake City with an impressive 5-2 win vs. the Chicago Blackhawks. Dylan Guenther scored the 1st goal in team history and will now be a trivia answer for years to come.
2. Jessica Campbell Makes History - After 107 years, we have our 1st female asst. coach in the history of the NHL. Congrats to Jessica who climbed the mountain starting in the Swedish SHL for Malmo, then to Nuremberg Germany of the DEL from there she went to Coachella Valley of the AHL and now is behind the bench in Seattle.
3. Spittin' Chiclets Parlay - Probably doesn't deserve to be this high in the rankings but, when you cook up a +585 parlay on DraftKings Sportsbook for Chiclets Nation on Opening Night and it cashes, we need to pump it up.
4. Mr. Ice with a Miracle Cash - It took an empty net 6th goal to cash our parlay and get a push for Elio and his Ice People, but to score a 7th goal with :22 left to get a Mr. Ice shirt rip on Opening Night, was something nobody saw coming. Look for $EBR Thursday Night on 330 Seconds with Mr. Ice.
5. Florida raises Stanley Cup Banner - Huge night in Florida not only on the scoreboard, but pre-game the Panthers raised their first ever Stanley Cup banner. A nice bonus to the night was Carter Verhaeghe signing an 8 year $7 million dollar contract in half his equipment before puck drop.
