The NHL saw its last two undefeated teams fall on Wednesday. The Anaheim Ducks lost 5-2 to the Edmonton Oilers, who scored five goals in the second period, forcing goaltender Lukáš Dostál off the ice. The Colorado Avalanche, featuring Martin Nečas, also suffered their first defeat, losing a close 3-2 game in Winnipeg. In another match, the Washington Capitals defeated the Pittsburgh Penguins 5-3. These results mark a shift in the early season standings as multiple teams relinquish their previously unblemished records. The Oilers’ offensive outburst proved too much for Dostál, while the Avalanche couldn’t hold off the Winnipeg Jets.
