It's not easy having two sons in the NHL.

Case in point: New York Islanders forward Ryan Strome scored his second goal of the season Friday with his parents watching from the stands. The problem is, it came against the Arizona Coyotes with younger brother Dylan Strome drawing a minus-one on the play.

We feel you, Mom. Sometimes all you can do is shrug in moments like that.

Clarke MacArthur is a forgiving man.

Concussed on a hit from Patrick Sieloff during a training camp scrimmage, the Ottawa Senators winger - who suffered three similar injuries over the past 18 months - is moving on with no ill will towards the young defenseman.

"I talked to him a couple of days later," MacArthur said Friday, per Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Citizen. "Am I happy with it? I’d love to not take that hit. At the same time I know what he was doing, he’s trying to make a team.

"He’s a young guy and probably didn’t know the situation I was in. That’s all good. That’s behind us. I have no ill wishes on him. Let’s move on. He’s part of this team and this organization and that’s the way it is."

MacArthur has been skating in hopes of a return, and is set to travel with the Senators on a western road trip beginning Sunday in Vancouver.

"It’s going to be great. Just to be around the guys, go for some dinners, it’s healthy for me to do that. I’ve played enough games of chess and Scrabble at home with (my wife) for a few months. It’s time to get on the road," he said.

Hockey. Outdoors. It's tough to beat.

As the Edmonton Oilers and Winnipeg Jets gear up for the fourth running of the Heritage Classic on Sunday, now seems like a good time to reflect on some of the memorable moments the awe-inspiring spectacle has provided hockey fans.

Gretzky's return

The first installment of the event, held in 2003, set an incredibly high bar that has yet to be topped.

The Oilers and Montreal Canadiens were the participants, doing battle in sub-zero temperatures at Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton.

Before the real event, a star-studded alumni game took center stage, highlighted by Wayne Gretzky donning an Oilers jersey for the first time in a long time.

Wayne previously swore he'd never suit up for a gimmicky alumni game, but the return of No. 99 - in hockey's purest form - was a truly unforgettable moment.

Theodore rocks the toque

It's cold in Edmonton. Just ask Jose Theodore.

When the actual Oilers and Canadiens rosters took the ice a day after Gretzky and Co. stole the show, it was a classic, yet glaringly logical, decision by Theodore that provided the game's most memorable moment.

The Montreal goaltender, in typical Canadian fashion, wore a toque during the Habs' 4-3 victory, ultimately creating one of the sport's most timeless images.

Luongo's Last Dance

Roberto Luongo's Heritage Classic memories don't entail the same sort of fondness.

Then a member of the Vancouver Canucks, Luongo looked forward to the 2014 matchup versus the Ottawa Senators all season long, but former Canucks coach John Tortorella started Eddie Lack over the franchise's all-time leader in wins and shutouts.

Luongo watched the game - a 4-0 loss - from the bench, and two days later, was traded to the Florida Panthers, ending the much publicized saga between the goaltender and the organization.

Some special guests were on hand for Michigan's "Score-O" challenge during Friday's game versus Michigan Tech.

Longtime NHLers Marty Turco and Brendan Morrison, along with Wolverines alumni Mike Legg, took part in the festivities.

While Turco and Morrison took a conventional approach, Legg went a step further, launching the puck lacrosse-style perfectly through the target from across the rink.

For context, it was Legg who did this in the 1996 NCAA West Regional Final.

DETROIT - Gustav Nyquist had a goal and an assist to help the Detroit Red Wings beat the Nashville Predators 5-3 on Friday night.

Justin Abdelkader, Drew Miller, Tomas Tatar and Darren Helm also scored as Detroit won its third straight. Petr Mrazek stopped 30 shots.

P.K. Subban, Mike Ribeiro and Mike Fisher scored for Nashville, which has lost three straight. Pekka Rinne finished with 38 saves.

Fisher's power-play goal with 4:46 pulled the Predators to 4-3 as he tipped in Roman Josi's shot from the point. It was Fisher's third goal, all on the power play.

However, Helm had an empty-net power-play score with 22 seconds left for his fourth goal of the season to seal the win.

Tatar gave the Red Wings a 3-2 lead 1:10 into the third period with a wrist shot from high in the right circle for his first of the season.

Nyquist made it 4-2, with 8:33 left, with his first goal. He scored on a breakaway after a turnover by Nashville's Filip Forsberg in the Predators' zone.

Abdelkader's power-play goal gave Detroit a 1-0 lead, 5:17 into the second. The rebound of Ryan Sproul's shot from the point trickled in off of Abdelkader's backside.

Nashville coach Peter Laviolette unsuccessfully challenged the goal, because it appeared Abdelkader may have interfered with Rinne.

The Predators then scored two power-play goals 18 seconds apart to take the lead.

With Tatar (interference) and Danny DeKeyser (delay of game) in the penalty box, Subban got his second goal of the season, which came on a one-time slap shot from the high slot with 5:47 left in the middle period.

That brought Tatar back but Ribeiro put in a rebound with 5:29 remaining in the period to give the Predators a 2-1 lead. It was Ribeiro's first goal.

Miller's tied it 2-2 with 40 seconds left in the second period as he beat Rinne with a one-timer from a bad angle deep in the left circle. It was Miller's second goal and second in two games.

Predators center Ryan Johansen and right wing Craig Smith left the game after the second period.

NOTES: Detroit F Dylan Larkin moved from center, where he played the first four games of the season, to right wing, on a line centered by Frans Nielsen and Abdelkader on left wing. Larkin is a natural center but played the wing in his rookie season last year. ... The Predators were without D Anthony Bitetto (upper body) and RW Miikka Salomaki (upper body.

Ryan Murray has caught the early-season injury bug.

Having already missed one game this campaign after blocking a shot, the Columbus Blue Jackets defenseman was dealt another setback Friday, suffering an upper-body injury that will bar him from the team's upcoming four-game road swing, head coach John Tortorella announced following the club's 3-2 win over Chicago.

Columbus will travel to Dallas, Los Angeles, San Jose, and Anaheim before returning home Nov. 1.

Murray, 23, has not recorded a point in two contests this season, while averaging 19:52 of ice time.

The Chicago Blackhawks aren't particularly used to cold streaks, but when pinpointing the reasoning behind a 2-3 start, the club is blaming a paltry penalty kill.

The Blackhawks rank dead last in the NHL with a 47 percent penalty-kill rate, and have allowed an astounding 11 power-play goals through five games.

"We have to hit the reset button and just bear down and find a way to get it done because it's losing us games right now," defenseman Niklas Hjalmarsson told Mark Lazerus of the Chicago Sun-Times, following Friday's 3-2 loss to Columbus.

"Everything can be better and everything must be better soon," Hjalmarsson added.

Captain Jonathan Toews echoed Hjalmarsson's comments.

"It's just not good enough," Toews told Lazerus. "We deserve all the criticism."

Luckily for Chicago, their power play is currently clicking at 35.7 percent, but will have to straighten out their inefficiencies while down a man in order to sustain success.

COLUMBUS, Ohio - Rookie defenseman Zach Werenski had a goal and an assist, and teammates Nick Foligno and William Karlsson picked up their first goals of the season as the Columbus Blue Jackets beat the Chicago Blackhawks 3-2 on Friday night.

Columbus' Sergei Bobrovsky stopped 32 shots and survived a desperate Chicago power-play rally near the end of the game as the Blue Jackets picked up their first win of the season, avoiding a repeat of last season's disastrous 0-8 start.

Columbus never trailed in Friday's game.

Tyler Motte and Richard Panik scored for Chicago (2-3-0), while Corey Crawford made 25 saves.

The Blue Jackets (1-2-0) took the lead when the 19-year-old Werenski netted a wrist shot from the point during a power play at 9:10 in the first period. It was his team-leading second goal of the season, with Alexander Wennberg and Foligno credited with assists.

The Blackhawks tied it up 2:29 into the second period when a shot by Jonathan Toews ricocheted off Bobrovsky's pad and was put back by Motte, his first goal of the season.

Columbus took advantage of the power play again at 4:36 of the second when Foligno tapped it in from in front of the net, with assists from Werenski and Cam Atkinson.

Fourth-line center Karlsson got the Blue Jackets' final goal with 6:16 left in the second when he tipped in a shot from David Savard through traffic.

Panik pulled Chicago within one at 5:54 into the third period, popping in a goal from in front of the net off a pass from Gustav Forsling, but the Blackhawks couldn't tie it.

NOTES: Columbus D Ryan Murray suffered what the team called an ''upper-body injury'' in the first period and did not return. He may have taken an elbow the head. ...The Nationwide Arena crowd of 15,789 included a large, vocal contingency of red-clad Blackhawks fans. ... Columbus ended a streak of nine October losses at home dating to 2014. ... Bobrovsky and his mates also held off a fierce six-shot Chicago rally in front the net in the last 90 seconds of the second period. ... Columbus' Matt Calvert was penalized 2 minutes for goalie interference in the third period when he tripped Crawford, who came out of the crease to retrieve the puck. The video replay seemed to show that the contact was marginal.
