Last night, there were nine matches on show.
For a rare Thursday evening, the CH was not in action.
Here are the results and highlights:
1. Top-5: “The Senators will make the playoffs because of Linus Ullmark”
Having a good goalkeeper makes a difference.
The Senators are learning that, because Linus Ullmark is on fire. In his last seven games, he does not have a loss, an efficiency average of .967, a goals against average of 0.99 and one assist.
His assist came on Brady Tkachuk’s winning goal yesterday.
Ottawa won it 3-2 in overtime.
The Senators captain not only scored the game-winning goal, but lost a tooth and had nine stitches.
Big night at the office.
Martin Biron believes Ottawa will make the playoffs because of Ullmark. The Ottawa team is currently in the playoffs.
2. Sidney Crosby finally scores
The team behind the Senators and not in the playoffs is Pittsburgh.
The Penguins are on a hot streak and are only one point out of the playoffs. Yesterday, Pittsburgh won in overtime against the Preds by a score of 5-4.
Four-point night for Sidney Crosby, who ended a 10-game drought without scoring.
His first goal since November 23.
Before the match, a journalist even asked him a question about this ugly shortage.
The Penguins captain knew at that moment that he was going to count.
3. Elvis Night in Columbus
In Columbus, the Blue Jackets surprised the Devils with a 4-2 victory.
The hero of the match: Elvis Merzlikins, who stopped 41 shots.
Three of his 41 saves were spectacular.
Here they are:
He was impeccable throughout the match.
Sean Monahan was in charge of the attack. He scored two goals and an assist.
4. A broken nose doesn’t stop Zach Hyman
In Edmonton, we had a very good match.
Despite the Bruins leading 2-0, the Oilers came back and won in overtime.
It was Mattias Ekholm who scored the winning goal.
On net, Leon Draisaitl collected his 900th career point.
A little before, Connor McDavid sent everyone into overtime.
During a recent Oilers game, Zach Hyman was hit in the face by a slapshot from Evan Bouchard.
Obviously, a broken nose doesn’t slow him down, because just yesterday he found the back of the net.
5. Mackenzie Blackwood beat his old team
Traded a few days ago to the Avalanche, Mackenzie Blackwood faced the Sharks, his former team, for the first time.
Colorado and Blackwood won by a score of 4-2.
32 saves on 34 shots for the cerberus.
With just under seven minutes left in the game, when it was tied, the visitors scored the winning goal.
Joel Kiviranta scored his seventh goal of the season.
And in a losing cause, Macklin Celebrini continued to impress.
