In the NHL, there were 10 games on the schedule.

Of course, we had to keep an eye on the Bruins’ first game under their new coach and Yaroslav Askarov’s first game with the Sharks.

Here are the results and highlights:

1. Marc-André Fleury and Yaroslav Askarov look crazy

It wasn’t necessarily goalie night last night.

Two goalies looked crazy in quick succession. First, in his first start with the Sharks, Yaroslav Askarov flinched in the opening seconds.

Nathan Walker took advantage of his intercepted clearance to foil him in the 11th second…

The art of not making the right first impression…

San Jose finally lost 3-2 in a shootout. The Russian stopped 29 of 31 shots.

As for Marc-André Fleury, he won his game 5-3 against the Oilers, but let’s just say he must have been embarrassed after allowing the first goal.

Here it is:

The Québécois at least recovered well, stopping 29 of the 31 subsequent pucks directed at him.

He even pulled off this gem at Connor McDavid’s expense :

It was the 1,000th start of Flower’s career.

2. Bruins’ first win under Joe Sacco

In Boston, it was the start of a new era, as Joe Sacco piloted his first game with the Bruins.

It was a successful debut as his team won 1-0.

Elias Lindholm scored the only goal, his first in a long time.

In the match, however, I remember two furious battles between the same players.

In the first period, Mark Kastelic and Robert Bortuzzo threw down the gloves.

Round 2 took place in the second period.

21-save shutout for Joonas Korpisalo.

3. Crazy game in Columbus

Strap on your helmets, the match between the Lightning and the Blue Jackets was one for the books.

A 7-6 overtime victory for the Jackets, who overcame a three-goal deficit at one point.

Zach Werenski scored the winning goal and ended his night with five points.

In the opening minutes of the second period, the two teams had already scored a combined six goals.

It was 5-5 and half the game hadn’t even been played yet….

The first goal of the game was scored by Brayden Point.

In net, Nikita Kucherov picked up an assist and reached the 900 career pointf plateau.

4. Macklin Celebrini gives the Sharks a point

You already know the Sharks lost in a shootout.

But there would never have been overtime without the effort of the sensational Macklin Celebrini.

He gave his all late in the game to prevent the Blues from scoring in an empty net.

Moments later, teammate Alex Wennberg sent everyone into overtime.

There were just eight seconds left in the game.

Unfortunately, Jake Neighbours sealed the deal with the only goal of the shootout.

5. 500th pass for Jonathan Huberdeau

Jonathan Huberdeau and the Flames are having a much better season.

And that’s good for the Canadiens, who may end up with a mid-first-round pick instead of a late-first-round pick.

Yesterday, Calgary won 3-2 against the Rangers.

Connor Zary scored the winning goal, and on the sequence, Jonathan Huberdeau picked up his 500th career assist.

So that’s a third straight win for Calgary.

If we look at Tankathon, we can see that if the playoffs started today and all logic was respected, Montreal would draft 4th and 22nd, a position similar to 2024.

Let’s hope the Flames hit a wall and finish 21st in the NHL (11th pick).
