Interesting Stats of the Night:

-2 sets of brothers had a goal tonight assisted by their brother, with Jordan Staal scoring from an Eric Staal pass, and Jordie Benn picking up the secondary assist on his brother Jamie's goal.
-Tyler Seguin and Rich Peverley scored in the shootout for the Stars in their 1st game back in Boston/against their former team.
-The feel-good story of the season happened tonight in Carolina, as Manny Malhotra scored the OT winner for his 1st goal since March 26th 2012. Malhotra played in his 3rd game back since returning from an eye injury last season that was said to end his career, so it was great to see him back in the NHL and making an impact.
-15 of the 18 teams that played tonight picked up at least 1 point
