Daily Nuggets: Bedard Sees Pastrnak Shine; Sharks Opening Night Roster

This is such an exciting time of the year. It is so nice to be working late at night with the sweet sounds of a hockey game in the background. Every time the horn sounds, you immediately click over to see who got the goal. This is our life for the next seven or so months.

Connor Bedard scored his first NHL goal in a losing effort to the Boston Bruins. The Vegas Golden Knights travel to San Jose tonight to play the Sharks; what will the Sharks’ roster look like? Reilly Smith fails to record a point in his Pittsburgh Penguins debut. Two games into last season fans from New Jersey were chanting, “Fire Lindy.” Later in the season, they were chanting, “Sorry Lindy.”
