The Golden Knights were visiting Toronto to try and put the brakes on the Leafsā winning streak, having won their last seven games.
The Vegas outfit managed to win the game 6-2 thanks to a collective effort from all players, but thatās not what caught the eye during the match.
With just over two minutes left in the game, Sheldon Keefe complained (too much) to an official about a missed callā¦
After the game, Keefe was asked to answer reportersā questions about what happened to get him ejectedā¦
And the Leafsā still-angry driver was really evasive on the subject, to the point where he wouldnāt even give his side of the story.

All in all, it wasnāt a good night for the Leafs, who scored just two goals in a game for the first time this season.
If Nathan MacKinnon played every game this season at home, in Coloradoā¦
The star player took advantage of the Starsā visit to help his team win the game (5-1) and collected a goal and an assist in the process.
MacKinnon has now scored at least one point in all 29 of the Avalancheās home gamesā¦ And has a total of 60 points (22 goals) during this streak.
Heās really impressive.
Itās like clockwork at this point. pic.twitter.com/zamsM1oRuP

3: Nick Cousinsā¦ What are you doing?
Nick Cousins isnāt a flashy player on the iceā¦ But a player who brings energy to his club.
That saidā¦ Maybe Cousins went a little too far during a quarrel in the game between his Panthers and the Sabres:
Nick Cousins rises from the ashesā¦ same as the Undertaker in his WWF heyday! https://t.co/vp95WkhGRX

For what itās worth, Cousinsā energy helped the Panthers win the game 3-2.
Playing hockey in the dark isnāt ideal.
You may be wondering where Iām going with all thisā¦
But if Iām talking about light, itās because there was a power outage last night in Philadelphia. The Flyers were playing the Lightning at home and a transformer blew (and burned), leading to a mini blackout.
Wells Fargo Center president Phil Laws said after the clubās 6-2 win over the Lightning that, fortunately, no one was hurt:

Stefan Noesen knows that, having scored 56 goals in 342 games prior to yesterdayās Hurricanes game.
That saidā¦
Noesen scored his 57th career goal in his clubās 3-2 win over the Wild, and he did it in a way heāll always remember.
The Hurricanes player deflected the puck into the net with his visor, a particularly bizarre goal that you donāt see every day in the Bettman circuit:
