Overview
- Both Caleb Malhotra and Adam Novotný scored overtime winners on Nov. 1, delivering game‑ending goals for Boston University and the Peterborough Petes respectively.
- Malhotra’s OT tally was his second NCAA goal and extended his point streak to three games, leaving him with five points in eight games and earning public praise from BU coach Jay Pandolfo.
- Novotný finished the weekend with a multi‑point game that pushed him to nine goals and 12 assists for 21 points in 15 OHL games and placed him among the league’s top scorers.
- Both goals came in high‑leverage situations — Malhotra’s came on a controlled zone move after a backdoor draw and Novotný’s on a prolonged overtime power play — highlighting their ability to produce in clutch moments.
- Those moments matter to Vancouver because the NHL club’s poor results have increased attention on prospects, but these early‑season flashes are snapshots not guarantees and should be tracked over the rest of the year.
