Last night there were four NHL games.
The Canadian beat the Flyers in Philadelphia and six other clubs were in action.
Here are the results and highlights:
1. Leon Draisaitl gets the Wings for his party
Yesterday was Leon Draisaitl’s birthday, his 29th.
For the occasion, he bought himself some Wings. He scored not one, but two goals, including the game-winning goal in overtime.
In nine games this season, the German has 10 points.
He deserved a cupcake too.
In addition to his two goals, Draisaitl collected an assist on this goal from Evan Bouchard
What a shot!
3-2 victory for the Oilers.
2. Nico Hischier at the top of the NHL scorers
Before the evening’s games, Nico Hischier was at the top of the NHL scorers, tied with Nikita Kucherov (8).
But with a goal, he officially beat him to it.
The Devils finally crushed the Ducks by a score of 6-2.
New Jersey allowed the first goal, but Jack Hughes tied the game quickly.
The club didn’t look back after that.
In the victory, Stefan Noesen stood out with a two-goal performance. Jonas Siegenthaler, Dougie Hamilton and Dawson Mercer also stood out with two assists each.
3. Two points from Nathan MacKinnon in his 800th game
In the last game of the evening, the Ottawa Senators were at Ball Arena to face the Avalanche.
It was Nathan MacKinnon’s 800th career game.
And he celebrated this plateau in style.
He collected an assist on Nikolai Kovalenko’s first career goal.
He had scored a goal a little earlier, but it was canceled.
Shortly after, there was a somewhat unusual situation in front of the Sens net.
Anton Forsberg left temporarily due to equipment breakdown. Linus Ullmark came on, made two saves and Forsberg came back afterwards.
Quite weird.
In the third period, Nick Cousins scored his first goal with the Senators to tie the game.
Colorado didn’t give up, however, and scored the next two goals.
Ross Colton took the opportunity to score an eighth goal this season.
Final score: 5-4 for Colorado. MacKinnon scored into an empty net for his second point of the game.
Prolongation
– A good match for him.
– A battle of heavyweights.
– Draisaitl, Travis Sanheim and Casey Mittlestadt lead the charge.
– Eight matches on show this evening.
