The Arizona Coyotes recalled center Dylan Strome from the AHL's Tucson Roadrunners, general manager John Chayka announced Sunday.

Strome began the season with the Coyotes, but was sent down after two games in which he failed to record a point. But, the 2015 third overall pick has been a dominant force for the Roadrunners ever since, recording eight goals and 18 assists in 15 games.

Strome ranks second in AHL scoring, but his 1.73 points-per-game average dwarfs that of the top-ranked Chris Bourque (1.29).

Strome has appeared in nine games at the NHL level, but could now be set to become a staple in the Coyotes' lineup after leaving nothing to prove in the minors.

The Coyotes next play Edmonton on Tuesday.

The New York Rangers are lighting up Broadway.

With a shootout victory over Vancouver on Sunday, the Blueshirts extended their home winning streak to eight games. That matched the Vegas Golden Knights' active eight-game home win streak (8-0-0 from Oct. 15 to Nov. 25) for the longest such run this season.

New York's streak began Oct. 26 against Arizona, and includes wins over Vegas, Columbus, Boston, Edmonton, Ottawa, Detroit, and Vancouver.

Meanwhile, Vegas has posted a record of 9-1-0 on home ice this season, with wins over Boston, Buffalo, St. Louis, Chicago, Colorado, Winnipeg, Los Angeles, and San Jose during the current run of success.

The Rangers will be presented with a chance to extend their streak on Tuesday against Florida, while the Golden Knights will host Dallas that same night.

The Anaheim Ducks apologized for - and removed - a video posted on the team's Twitter account that was supposed to be in celebration of the NHL's 100th anniversary on Sunday.

The video reportedly featured a naked - but censored - Ryan Kesler walking through the Ducks offices, past women, where he tells a male co-worker that he's celebrating the league's 100th birthday "in his birthday suit," according to ESPN's Greg Wyshynski.

The video received a ton of backlash on social media, especially given the recent cases involving sexual assault and misconduct in Hollywood.

Colorado Avalanche captain Gabriel Landeskog will have a hearing Monday for cross-checking Matthew Tkachuk of the Calgary Flames, the NHL's Department of Player Safety announced.

The incident took place near the end of the first period Saturday. Landeskog was assessed a minor penalty.

He was suspended twice in 2015-16, once for cross-checking and once for an illegal shot to the head.

Regardless of where you stand in the analytics-versus-eye-test debate that's encompassed the hockey world over the past several years, advanced statistics in the NHL undeniably create some interesting talking points.

For example: How can a 29-year-old with under 90 NHL contests to his name rank in the same breath as two of the most prolific goal scorers the league has to offer? Well, let's find out.

Below are five individual-based advanced statistics and the five league-leaders in that category so far in the 2017-18 season, followed by a few takeaways to digest what we learned.

(All stats at 5-on-5, minimum 200 minutes. Per 60: 60 minutes of even-strength play. All stats courtesy: Corsica)

Goals per 60

• Gibbons, the aforementioned anomaly, leads the NHL in shooting percentage by a wide margin (19.51 percent on all attempts), and probably won't find himself beside the league's elite as the season wears on.
• Perhaps most impressive is Boeser, as the Canucks rookie is now up to 15 goals in 29 career games.
• Only two players eclipsed 1.5 goals per 60 last season, so expect some regression from everyone.

Primary Assists per 60

• Considering Schwartz is playing with Vladimir Tarasenko and Brayden Schenn, his lead in primary helpers may hold up all season.
• Perhaps the Panthers (24th in goals for) wish they kept Marchessault around.
• Watch out for Aho, who's scored 13 points in November and has underlying numbers to suggest he's capable of even more.

Points

• Kings rookie Kempe is by far the most interesting name here, as he averages just 12:46 of ice time per game.
• The Flyers' dynamic duo remains one of the NHL's most potent combinations, too bad no one else on the team can score.

Individual Corsi-For

• Poor Burns, who is one of only two defensemen in the top 20 in this category, yet is converting under one percent of all his attempts. History would suggest that changes for the better soon.
• Gallagher has quietly enjoyed a nice bounce-back season, and has been one of the Canadiens' top producers.

Individual Expected Goals For

• Kane shoots more than anyone in the NHL not named Ovechkin, and he could be building quite a case for a significant raise in free agency come July.
• Hyman and Matthews are two-thirds of one of the most dominant lines in the NHL, and the thought of each player being expected to score even more makes Toronto's offense that much scarier.
• There's that Marchessault fellow again - it turns out he's quite good, and is the only player to appear in three of the five stats listed.

Hats off to Alex Ovechkin.

The Washington Capitals captain pocketed three goals against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday, and in the process fulfilled a promise to a 13-year-old fan and cancer survivor.

Alex Luey - who plays for the Niagara Falls Flyers and a survivor of osteosarcoma cancer - attended Saturday's contest after learning he'd have the chance to meet his hero at the game.

"It's an emotional moment. But I'm going to try to do the best I can, and this organization can, and do what every hockey player can to give (him) happiness and a smile," Ovechkin told Tom Gulitti of NHL.com on Thursday.

To begin the evening, Luey was invited into the locker room by Capitals coach Barry Trotz, where he announced the team's starting lineup. It was then when Ovechkin promised a goal for Luey.

Ovechkin would score not only once, but three times, fulfilling his pledge and serving as a perfect backdrop to the Maple Leafs' Hockey Fights Cancer Night.

Luey later met his hero following Washington's 4-2 victory, when the Capitals captain presented him with a collection of autographed gear.
