Here’s a summary of what caught attention:

1 : Brad Marchand Looks Crazy… Once Again
And let’s say this has been going on for a while!
The Bruins’ captain looked crazy again last night because he made a move that doesn’t belong on the ice.

Crazy Marchand…
The worst part is that he wasn’t even penalized for the incident!

2 : Anthony Richard is Lucky
The former Canadiens player got lucky when he took K’Andre Miller’s skate to the face: Richard almost got cut by his opponent’s skate while he was down on the ice.

It’s been *all* Rangers tonight and this Reilly Smith goal sums up the evening at MSG

3 : Speaking of the Rangers…
But now… It seems like everything is coming together for the New York team.
The victory against the Flyers last night allows the team to claim a 7th win in 10 games and it’s worth noting that since January 1st, the Rangers have the best record in the entire NHL.
Everything is working right now over there… And it oddly coincides with Igor Shesterkin’s return to play:
Are Igor and the Rangers officially back??

To be continued…
4 : Another Goal for Ovi!
That’s what is happening right now, and ultimately, both goalies of the team are playing a role in the team’s success.

You know what that means…
The Capitals’ captain scored his 22nd goal of the season, and it was into an empty net:
Alex Ovechkin moves closer to Wayne Gretzky’s goal record

At this point, it’s just a matter of time. And one wonders if he has a chance to break the record this season.
The Capitals still have 34 games left on the schedule: so it’s possible… but it will be tough anyway.
5 : The Oilers Handle the Canucks Their Way
Let’s just say the Edmonton team took care of the Vancouver team their way, which is by scoring a lot of goals.
Zach Hyman opens the scoring!

Two goals in 20 seconds from the @EdmontonOilers will surely make the home crowd happy!

It wasn’t too rough contrary to what one might think, but there was a sequence in the game where we saw both clubs sending messages:
Things are heating up quickly in Edmonton

The Oilers lost their first game (out of three) in McDavid’s absence earlier this week, but they won the second.
They should be able to win the third and final game during their captain’s suspension because the Sabres will be on the menu tomorrow.
