What happened: Actor Russell Crowe publicly commended Devon Levi after his routine of removing his blocker to touch the ice gained league-wide attention. Crowe referenced his film Gladiator by offering the phrase "Strength and Honour" to the goaltender.
Why it matters: Levi has established himself in Edmonton's crease following a 19-save shutout in a 1-0 victory over Toronto. The pregame grounding routine has become a focal point of his approach during high-leverage situations.
What to watch: Levi remains in line for regular starts as Edmonton moves through its November schedule.
