There were 13 games yesterday in the National Hockey League, with 26 teams in action across the league.

Several highlights truly caught attention.

Here’s a global summary.

1. Charlie Lindgren makes one of the saves of the year

The Washington Capitals are currently the best team in the NHL this season, with everything working for them in all areas.

On offense, defense, and especially in net, everyone is performing very well.

And in net, if it’s not Logan Thompson making incredible performances, Charlie Lindgren is stepping up as demonstrated last night.

Indeed, Lindgren made an incredible last-minute save as he was heading to the bench for a sixth skater.

It was truly a sensational save worthy of one of the saves of the year, but unfortunately, it didn’t allow the Capitals to win.

They lost 2 to 1 against the Vancouver Canucks.

2. Mikko Rantanen and Martin Necas both shut out in their debuts

The two big names in the NHL who were traded for each other on Friday night played their respective first games with their new teams yesterday.

Here’s Mikko Rantanen in his new colors, as the Carolina Hurricanes lost 3 to 2 against the New York Islanders.

Rantanen was blanked in his first game.

And here’s Martin Necas in his new colors with the Colorado Avalanche, who lost 3 to 1 against the Boston Bruins.

Just like Rantanen, Necas was also blanked on the scoresheet.

3. Kirill Marchenko gives a crucial second point to the Blue Jackets

The Columbus Blue Jackets are involved in the same crazy playoff race as the Montreal Canadiens, with the Eastern Conference tightening every day.

Every point is therefore essential, and last night, unlike the Habs, the Blue Jackets managed to secure the crucial second point in overtime.

It was Kirill Marchenko who gave Columbus a 3 to 2 victory with a superb play.

This was Marchenko’s 20th of the season, with 53 points in 50 games.

He is truly having one of the best breakout seasons in the entire NHL.

4. Crazy game in Minnesota

It was a wild night in the Calgary Flames’ 5 to 4 victory against the Minnesota Wild.

First, Marc-André Fleury got involved in a scrum near his net.

And secondly, Rasmus Andersson added to his list of opposing fans he stares down after scoring a goal, as last night, after his 7th goal of the season, he took the time to give a good stare to a Minnesota Wild fan.

In short, it was a game with a lot of tension, resulting in another important victory for the Calgary Flames.

5. Big shutout for Cam Talbot against the Lightning

After winning against the Canadiens on Thursday, the Detroit Red Wings are back in the playoff race, and last night, they added to that with a solid 2 to 0 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Cam Talbot played a huge role in this victory, as he stopped all 28 shots directed at him, including several big saves in the final moments of the game.
