The First Full Week Is Filed: Early 2026-27 Results Move Past Opening Night

The five-game opening slate on Tuesday, Sept. 29, is already filed. This note does not restate those finals. Florida at Carolina was on that card. Montreal at Toronto was on that card. The Rangers at Boston were on that card. Vancouver at Edmonton was on that card. Chicago at Vegas was on that card. Their scores stay in the prior file. The first full week after that night is the new work. A standings table is NOT FOUND here on purpose. Early records move every night, and this page will not freeze one.

Broadway Sports Network is using league recaps and the league's own Monday guide. Where those sources name a final, the final is below. Where they only name a puck drop, the puck drop is below. Where a full Saturday board could not be reconciled, the board is marked NOT FOUND.

Wednesday, Sept. 30, is the first night after the opening slate. Pittsburgh beat Philadelphia 7-0 at Xfinity Mobile Arena. It was the season opener for both clubs. Nicholas Robertson scored twice in his Pittsburgh debut. Arturs Silovs stopped 19 shots. Filip Hallander had a goal and two assists. Hendrix Lapierre had a goal and an assist. Ville Koivunen scored. Evgeni Malkin scored. Egor Chinakhov scored. NHL.com notes that 7-0 matches Pittsburgh's largest shutout win against Philadelphia, a mark also reached on March 19, 1988. Robertson's short-handed goal was his first in seven NHL seasons. Malkin's goal was the 534th of his career. Sidney Crosby began a 20th season as captain. Silovs is described as the fifth goalie with a season-opening shutout in consecutive seasons. None of that is a current league table. It is one game.

The same Wednesday night sent Los Angeles to Colorado. The official game summary lists a final of 8-4 for the Avalanche at Ball Arena. Attendance is listed at 18,092. A clean scorer list did not survive the summary text pulled for this draft, so individual goals in that game are NOT FOUND. The final is 8-4. It is not a division ranking.

Thursday, Oct. 1, was an opener for Minnesota and Nashville. The Wild won 3-1 at Bridgestone Arena. Blake Coleman scored the game-winner in his Minnesota debut. Nick Foligno scored at 9:35 of the first period for a 1-0 lead. Coleman made it 2-0 at 13:48 on a pass from Bobby Brink. Roman Josi scored at 9:23 of the second period, and the lead was 2-1. Kirill Kaprizov made it 3-1 at 4:42 of the third period off a shot from Quinn Hughes. Jesper Wallstedt stopped 19 shots. Juuse Saros stopped 27. NHL.com says Coleman arrived from Calgary with Olli Maatta on July 2. Josi opened a 16th season with Nashville, passing David Legwand for the longest such run in that club's history. The final is 3-1. The rest of Thursday's league board is not rebuilt from this one recap.

Friday, Oct. 2, put Washington in Raleigh for a 5-2 win against Carolina. Alex Tuch scored twice in his Capitals debut. Jakob Chychrun had a goal and an assist. Ryan Leonard scored. Cole Hutson scored. Pierre-Luc Dubois had two assists. Dylan Strome had two assists. Logan Thompson stopped 31 shots. Sebastian Aho scored for Carolina. Logan Stankoven scored for Carolina. Brandon Bussi stopped 22 shots. Carolina's opening-night final from Tuesday is not restated. The Friday game is the new file. NHL.com's note on Tuch says he became the fifth Capital to score twice in a debut. The other names in that note are Mikhail Grabovski and Scott Walker. Alex Ovechkin is on the note. Brian Bellows is on the note. That is a debut list from one game. It is not a scoring race.

Saturday and Sunday did not produce one clean 32-club board in the pages checked for this draft. A live card and a final card disagreed on whether Oct. 3 games were still in progress. Because of that conflict, the thirteen-game Saturday list is NOT FOUND as a printed final board. Individual games are included only when NHL.com stated them as finals in a recap or in the Monday national guide dated Oct. 5.

That Monday guide states several results without turning them into a table. The Islanders beat New Jersey 6-0 on Saturday. Ilya Sorokin got the shutout. Victor Eklund scored his first NHL goal. The same guide says the Islanders had lost 2-1 at Toronto before that win. That Toronto game is not one of the five national opening-night matchups named above, so it is not a rewrite of that slate. It is an early result the guide already printed.

The same guide says Washington lost 3-1 at Tampa Bay on Saturday after the 5-2 win in Raleigh. It says Pittsburgh entered the week with two wins and 13 goals. Crosby had two assists and did not have a goal. Malkin had four points, two of them goals. It says San Jose had two wins, each decided after three periods. It says Colorado had 14 goals in its first two games. It says Los Angeles had been outscored 13-8 across its first two games. Those are guide sentences. They are not license to rank the league on Monday morning.

Sunday, Oct. 4, is thinner. NHL.com's Monday guide says Florida lost 3-2 at Anaheim in a game that went past three periods. Brad Marchand scored in his season debut. The same column says Aleksander Barkov will miss at least 10 games. A separate NHL.com item dated Oct. 4 says Kyle Connor scored twice and Winnipeg beat Detroit for its first win. The goal count in that Detroit game is NOT FOUND in the item text used here. NHL.com posted five Sunday matchups that morning. Winnipeg at Detroit was at 1:00 p.m. ET. Utah at the Rangers was at 6:00 p.m. ET. Florida at Anaheim was at 8:00 p.m. ET. Calgary at Seattle was at 8:00 p.m. ET. Vegas at Vancouver was at 9:00 p.m. ET. Only the Florida result and the Winnipeg result are treated as known. The other three Sunday finals are NOT FOUND.

The week ahead is a list of posted starts. Monday, Oct. 5, has four games on the schedule card. Philadelphia at Tampa Bay is at 7:00 p.m. ET. Winnipeg at Pittsburgh is at 7:30 p.m. ET. Ottawa at Boston is at 7:30 p.m. ET. San Jose at Dallas is at 8:00 p.m. ET. Each final is NOT FOUND.

Tuesday, Oct. 6, has two national windows in the Kevin Weekes guide on NHL.com. The Islanders visit the Rangers at 7:30 p.m. ET on ESPN. Florida visits Los Angeles at 10:00 p.m. ET on ESPN. Both finals are NOT FOUND.

Wednesday, Oct. 7, posts Pittsburgh at Washington at 7:30 p.m. ET on TNT and HBO Max. Crosby and Ovechkin are the names on that card. The same guide's later list posts Colorado at Winnipeg at 7:30 p.m. ET on Prime. Both finals are NOT FOUND.

Thursday, Oct. 8, posts San Jose at St. Louis at 8:00 p.m. ET. Weekes calls it the Blues' home opener after three road games. The final is NOT FOUND.

Friday, Oct. 9, posts the Rangers at Washington at 7:00 p.m. ET. Saturday, Oct. 10, posts Toronto at Colorado at 7:00 p.m. ET. The guide notes that Gavin McKenna, the first pick in the 2026 draft, entered the week still looking for his first NHL point. That is a status as of Monday. It is not a prediction that the point arrives on Saturday. Saturday also posts Philadelphia at Boston at 1:00 p.m. ET. Detroit at Montreal is at 7:00 p.m. ET. Nashville at Ottawa is at 7:00 p.m. ET. Sunday, Oct. 11, posts Carolina at Philadelphia at 7:00 p.m. ET. Every one of those finals is NOT FOUND.

A reader who wants the league ordered from first to last will not get that order here. Pittsburgh's 7-0 win is real. Colorado's 8-4 win is real. Minnesota's 3-1 win is real. Washington's 5-2 win is real. The Islanders' 6-0 win is real. Tampa Bay's 3-1 win against Washington is real. Anaheim's 3-2 win against Florida is real. Winnipeg's win against Detroit is real, and its score is not. The rest of the early week is either a posted clock or a board this draft would not freeze.

Unfiltered means the opening night card stays where it was filed. The new games are the ones with their own recaps. The next useful hour is a puck drop that has a time and does not yet have a score.
