There was a lot, a lot of action in the NHL on Tuesday night.

Eleven games were presented in all corners of the league!

The Canadian won against the Canucks, but let’s see what happened elsewhere:

1: What a beautiful gesture from Ovi

How did the game between the Capitals and the Ducks go?

In short, to summarize it all… We need to remember two things: Alex Ovechkin’s performance and that of Aliaksei Protas.

For those who are wondering, no, Ovi did not score in the game.

But Protas did score a hat trick. Here’s one of his goals:

We also remember this magnificent goal from Anthony Beauvillier in the game.

His first goal with the Caps is all that:

At the end of the game, Ovechkin had the opportunity to score to get closer to Wayne Gretzky’s record.

The Ducks no longer had a goalkeeper… But the Capitals captain chose to pass the puck to Protas, who was able to complete his hat trick in an empty net.

Beautiful gesture from Ovi:

In the end, the Capitals won 7-4.

Ovechkin didn’t score… But he finished the game with three assists.

2: Dylan Cozens is having fun in Ottawa

Things are going well for the Sens lately.

The Ottawa team was trying to win a fourth game in a row and was visiting Philadelphia on the occasion.

That’s what happened!

The Sens can thank Matthew Highmore… Who came to save his goalkeeper when the score was 3-2 in the third period.

A sequence that deserves to be seen and seen again:

From that angle, it’s even more impressive:

The Senators ultimately won the game 5-2… and in the victory, Dylan Cozens continued to have fun with his new team.

He scored his 2nd goal in a Sens uniform… and also picked up a third point (in as many games).

A great acquisition so far for the Senators:

3: The Bruins and Panthers really don’t like each other

The Panthers visited the Bruins for the first time since the Brad Marchand trade.

The former captain of Boston was not in uniform (he trained this morning with the Panthers)… But there were still fans of his new team to cheer him on:

But Brad Marchand didn’t need to be there for things to get heated between the Panthers and the Bruins.

In the final minutes of the game, the two teams did what they usually do when they face each other.

They bickered:

The Bruins won this game 3-2.

It’s funny, but the Boston team has now beaten the Panthers AND the Lightning since Marchand left…

4: Is Igor okay?

We know that goalies have a… special character.

Last night, we saw Igor Shesterkin act like that.

The Rangers goalkeeper stole Brandon Tanev’s stick, tried to make a save… And then decided to catapult his opponent’s stick into the board.

The sequence is quite funny:

Maybe the Rangers goalkeeper was upset about his team’s performance, too.

Because in fact, the Blue Shirts were only able to score once against Connor Hellebuyck, who had another big night.

The Jets goalkeeper stopped 21 of the 22 shots directed at him to sign his 38th win (!) of the season.

It was Gabriel Vilardi (with his 27th goal of the season) who scored the winning goal in the game.

The Jets won 2-1:

5: Sid is on fire

Sunday night, the Penguins faced the Wild.

Sidney Crosby scored two goals in the game.

Well… The Penguins captain continued his streak today by scoring two more goals against the Golden Knights.

He now has 23 goals and 70 points in 65 games:

Overtime was necessary in the game to determine a winner between the two teams… And it was finally Erik Karlsson who stood up at the right time.

The Pens defenseman scored to give his team the win (3-2):

It’s a second consecutive win for the Penguins… who are no longer really in the running for a playoff spot.

We want to finish the season on a high note in Pittsburgh, apparently.


Overtime

— Classic.
