There were four games in the NHL last night.

Before a stop in Montreal, the Preds were in Toronto.

Here are the results and highlights:

1. Jonathan Marchessault scores a bizarre goal

Before a stop in Montreal, the Predators had to focus on the Toronto Maple Leafs.

But Nashville lost… again.

The club broke the ice in the first, however, with one of the strangest goals of the season from Jonathan Marchessaut. He took his own clearance back to surprise Joseph Woll.

The goal wasn’t enough, however, as the visitors lost 3-2.

For the winners, Auston Matthews shone with two goals. That makes three goals in three games since his return to action. This goal was a thing of beauty:

And on the captain’s first goal, Mitch Marner increased his streak of games with at least one point to eight.

2. Two goals for Brad Marchand

In the Bruins-Blackhawks game, Brad Marchand scored two goals in a matter of moments.

Paul Bissonnette’s little sketch at NHLonTNT, he took it personal. Check it out :

Very funny.

Here are the nets for Marchand, who was selected by Team Canada earlier tonight.

David Pastrnak, on the other hand, is on fire these days.

And it just so happens to coincide with Jim Montgomery’s departure.

3. Trevor Zegras injures himself on an innocuous sequence

Another player who’s been doing well lately is Trevor Zegras.

Yesterday, he didn’t pick up a point in the Ducks’ 4-1 loss to the Knights, but was injured on a rather bizarre sequence.

He barely touched William Karlsson and fell very strangely.

He never came back into the game.

Let’s hope it’s not too serious, but when an injury occurs after minimal contact like that, it’s not a good sign.

For Vegas, Jack Eichel collected two assists. He became only the second player this season to collect 30 assists.

Among American players, only Blake Wheeler has managed to reach this plateau in fewer games.

4. Mason Marchment has five goals in his last six games

The final game of the night pitted the Stars against the Kings.

The Kings won 3-2, but that didn’t stop one Stars player from shining.

Mason Marchment scored a beautiful goal, making it five in his last six games.

In the second period, Dallas led by a goal, but former Habs Joel Edmundson scored from the blue line to tie the game.

Then, Warren Foegele scored the winning goal early in the third period.
