There has been exactly two stories coming into Tuesday’s game in the second half of a home-and-home series against the Flyers. The first was that reigning NHL 1st Star of the Week, Jason Zucker has a chance to match the league record for most consecutive goals scored for his team, a record set back in the Roaring 20’s, if he was to score first. The other was Devan Dubnyk coming in hot with back-to-back shutouts, and turning away 73 shots over those two games in the process.
Nino Niederreiter had different thoughts about Zucker’s record bid.
