A goal that feels good for Tkachuk, who hadn’t scored in his last eleven games…

It’s ultra-tight in the standings in the East and that’s why the Canadiens must continue to win their games.
2: Martin Necas Makes New Friends
He collected two assists in his team’s victory (5-4) in New York:

Cale Makar also stood out in his team’s victory with his three points scored.
On the Rangers’ side, Artemi Panarin and Vincent Trocheck were the club’s top scorers in the game. They each recorded a goal and an assist.

5: The Wild Win in Chicago
At first glance, a game between the Wild and the Blackhawks… This isn’t the most exciting thing on earth.
But last night’s clash between the two clubs still provided a good show.

Frank Nazar scored a few minutes after Seth Jones to bring the score to 3-2… But on Nazar’s goal, what stood out was what happened afterward.
Zach Bogosian jumped on Ryan Donato immediately after Nazar’s goal:

I imagine that it took the wind out of the Hawks’ sails because they were never able to complete their comeback.
Overtime
– I love it.
