No. 1 in the 30-second version

Flyers lose 4-2 to Wild Tuesday; Trevor Zegras got a 10-minute misconduct and took responsibility afterward.

Per Broad Street Hockey, Matt Boldy and Michael McCarron put Minnesota up 2-0 early, and Zegras was given the misconduct for speaking to referee Kyle Rehman after a goal. Zegras called it a stupid decision by me and said Philadelphia needs to finish its chances. The Flyers got one goal back in the middle period, according to the article.

Connor Hellebuyck says family circumstances were among the reasons he requested a trade from the Jets.

In a letter to Jets fans posted on Instagram, Hellebuyck said 'very challenging circumstances' involving his family factored in, but he declined to share details. He was traded Oct. 23 to the New Jersey Devils for Dawson Mercer, Alexander Command, Nick Bjugstad, Nico Daws and two draft picks. The Jets had suspended him for failing to report to training camp after he publicly demanded a move.
