What happened: Jackson Blake scored in the first period to open the scoring in Helsinki, extending his active point streak to 11 consecutive games. The forward converted on a power play at the 8:48 mark of the opening frame to break the scoreless tie.
Why it matters: The 11-game run marks a sustained offensive surge for Blake during the 2026-27 regular season after pushing his streak past nine games earlier this month. Consistent production on special teams solidifies his offensive role during high-profile international showcase games.
By the numbers: Blake has recorded at least one point in 11 consecutive games and reached six goals on the 2026-27 season with Saturday's first-period tally.
What to watch: Blake looks to push the streak to 12 games as the regular-season schedule continues.
