Top-5: Sent off during the match, Sheldon Keefe refuses to talk about it with the media at a press briefing

There was plenty of action in the NHL last night.

The Habs won against the poor Coyotes, but there were 11 other games elsewhere in the league:

1: Sheldon Keefe is ejected from the game

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 thatā€™s 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€¦

And the referees decided to eject him from the match.

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 wouldnā€™t even give his side of the story.

He looked really angry:

All in all, it wasnā€™t a good night for the Leafs, who scored just two goals in a game for the first time this season.

Auston Matthews (-3), John Tavares (-2) and Mitch Marner (-3) were blanked from the scoresheet.

2: MacKinnon is too strong at home

If Nathan MacKinnon played every game this season at home, in Coloradoā€¦

The Avalanche would be unstoppable.

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 Avalancheā€™s home gamesā€¦ And has a total of 60 points (22 goals) during this streak.

Heā€™s really impressive.

3: Nick Cousinsā€¦ What are you doing?

We knew him briefly in Montreal, but we learned what a player he was when he wore a Montreal Canadiens uniform.

Nick Cousins isnā€™t a flashy player on the iceā€¦ But a player who brings energy to his club.

Any way you slice it, you might say.

That saidā€¦ Maybe Cousins went a little too far during a quarrel in the game between his Panthers and the Sabres:

Come on!

In the video, we see Cousins playing dead on the rink before getting up to jump on his opponent.

It looks like a wrestling video!

For what itā€™s worth, Cousinsā€™ energy helped the Panthers win the game 3-2.

4: A power outage in Philly in the middle of a game

Playing hockey in the dark isnā€™t ideal.

Lights allow players to see their opponents and the rink, and for goalies, brightness is important to be able to track the puck.

You may be wondering where Iā€™m going with all thisā€¦

But if Iā€™m talking about light, itā€™s 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 clubā€™s 6-2 win over the Lightning that, fortunately, no one was hurt:

5: Stefan Noesen scores a goal with his face

Scoring goals in the NHL is tough.

Stefan Noesen knows that, having scored 56 goals in 342 games prior to yesterdayā€™s Hurricanes game.

That saidā€¦

Noesen scored his 57th career goal in his clubā€™s 3-2 win over the Wild, and he did it in a way heā€™ll always remember.

The Hurricanes player deflected the puck into the net with his visor, a particularly bizarre goal that you donā€™t see every day in the Bettman circuit:


In a row

ā€“ A great lineup for the Golden Knights.

ā€“ Tyson Foerster pulled out his Sunday hands.

ā€“ Sweet.

ā€“ Stankoven gets a taste for scoring goals.

ā€“ The Devilsā€™ top players were good last night.

ā€“ A beautiful, powerful shot.

ā€“ Wow!

ā€“ A goal for Danault.

ā€“ I like the comparison.

ā€“ Big night at work for Nico Hischier.
