The Canadian did not play yesterday.
But there were still six other matches presented across the four corners of the league!
Let's see what happened:
1: Two-point game for… Pyotr Kochetkov
You don't see that often in the NHL.
Really not!
But yesterday, Hurricanes goaltender Pyotr Kochetkov helped his club win 3-1 against the Rangers… by accumulating two assists in the game.
He became the 4th goalie since 2017 to have a two-point game:
The goalie was also solid in front of his net, stopping 22 of the 23 shots aimed at him.
In all this, it is also another defeat for the Rangers…
2: Dubois' Revenge
The Kings were visiting Washington yesterday to face the surprising Capitals.
Pierre-Luc Dubois was solid in the match: the forward collected two assists against his former team and he was named the first star of the game.
After the meeting, the Quebecer said that it felt good… Because he remembers last year:
Dubois is not destroying everything in Washington, but he still collected 25 points in his first 33 games of the season.
And he helped his club win 3-1 against the Kings.
3: A defeat that hurts for the Sens
It was a big challenge for the Ottawa Senators.
She was in Edmonton to compete for victory with the Oilers, who are doing really well these days.
Zach Hyman took advantage of the Sens' visit to score in a 6th straight game. He has nine goals in his last nine outings, he:
But that’s not what we remember about the match.
The Senators ultimately lost by a score of 3-1… And the fact that they lost the services of Linus Ullmark really hurts.
The goalie injured his upper body during the match and never returned to his net after the first period:
4: Hat trick for Joel Kiviranta
Joel Kiviranta is not the most famous player in the National League, but he is still capable of standing out in a game.
We saw it yesterday: the former Dallas Stars had fun against the Seattle Kraken by scoring no less than three goals.
The striker completed his natural hat trick with a beautiful net:
The Kraken never had a chance in the match.
The big guns of the Avalanche were in good shape (two assists for MacKinnon and Rantanen + three points for Makar) and that made the difference.
The Avalanche won the game by a score of 5-2.
5: A first for Kakko with his new team
Let's stay in the Avalanche vs Kraken game because something happened on the Seattle side.
Kaapo Kakko, who was in his 3rd match with his new team, found the back of the net.
He took a shot without warning after a faceoff and it allowed him to score his 5th goal of the season:
In three games with the Kraken, Kakko has one point.
I can't wait to see if he can flourish in Seattle, because he has the talent to make it happen.
Prolongation
