Last night in the NHL, there was a little action.

12 teams were playing.

Here are the results and highlights:

1. Sidney Crosby in the top-10 of all-time assist leaders

In the afternoon, the Leafs were visiting Pittsburgh and it was probably the best game of this Sunday of hockey.

Toronto finally won the game in overtime with a score of 6-5. It was William Nylander who sealed the deal.

A little earlier in the game, Auston Matthews scored his 390th career goal.

He took possession of the second spot in the Leafs’ all-time goal scorers list. With an assist also in the game, he reached the 700-point plateau.

And at the end of the second period, Matthew Knies scored with 0.1 seconds left on the clock.

Wow.

Sidney Crosby didn’t let the spotlight shine solely on others, though.

On his team’s fourth goal, he picked up an assist, his 1050th career assist. He is now in the top-10 of all-time assist leaders.

2. A win in their last seven games for the Bruins

I think it’s time to rebuild in Boston… It’s really going badly.

Yesterday, the Bruins lost 1-0 to the Wild and have only one win in their last seven games.

In addition, they recently lost their captain…

For the Wild, Frédérick Gaudreau was the only goal scorer.

And Filip Gustavsson was on fire, stopping all 28 shots directed at him.

A 10th shutout with the Minnesota Wild.

3. Jonathan Quick is spectacular

Even at 39 years old, Jonathan Quick continues to offer good hockey.

Again yesterday, he was spectacular against the Preds.

In his 800th game in the NHL, the former King made 35 saves for his 63rd career shutout.

Also with the Rangers, Calvin de Haan and Jusso Parssinen made their debut with their new team.

De Haan picked up an assist, but Parssinen was shut out.

Another player who was shut out is Steven Stamkos. But in the case of the former Lightning captain, it’s been 13 games since he’s had a point…

4. Wyatt Johnston’s hat-trick

Wyatt Johnston is really something special.

Yesterday, he had a masterful evening, scoring three goals. In the first period, he scored with less than a second left.

In the third period, he scored two goals, completing his hat-trick.

In the history of the Stars, he became the third player to score 75 goals before the age of 22.

Two other forwards who are doing well in Dallas: Matt Duchene and Mikael Granlund.

Duchene scored in a seventh consecutive game and Granlund picked up another assist, his seventh since joining the team. He has only played nine games with the organization.

5. Sebastian Aho wins the game in overtime

The Flames are not having a good trip to the American East.

First, they lost 3-0 to the Panthers and the Lightning, and last night, they lost 2-1 to the Hurricanes in overtime.

Lucky they won against Washington before their trip to Florida.

The recent losses are good for the Canadiens, who have the Flames’ pick in the next draft.

Let’s go back to yesterday’s game. It was Sebastian Aho who gave the win to the Hurricanes in overtime.

Nazem Kadri had created the tie at the start of the third period.

If the season were to end today, Montreal would draft 17th with the Flames’ pick.


Overtime

– We’ll keep an eye on his health.

– Shutout for Adin Hill, who faced Jacob Markstrom returning to the game.

– A big fight.

– What an acquisition!

– Roope Hintz leads the charge.
