Player of the Game Hockey - NHL 1967/68, Nov 1st

Wednesday 1st November 1967
A few teams continued their recent skids with St Louis losing a third straight game with just a single win in their last nine; Williams (5) getting the Bruins over them for their first road win (1-3-0); and there was more bad news for Pittsburgh with Binkley earning his first defeat in goal leaving the Penguins with a single win in their last six; Masterson (4) for the North Stars has scored all his goals this year on the powerplay, this his second game winner.

Oakland lose a fourth on the bounce as they tried to intimidate the Rangers through two fights (T Pratt vs A Brown; K Douglas vs Fleming), but it's a brighter outlook for New York as they make it three wins in a row with Goyette grabbing a pair of assists and Giacomin stopping all twenty-two shots for a shutout. Finally Toronto get their game-winner against the Canadians from Stemkowski (1) but Walton's (7) goal and two helpers move up to twelve points on the year.
