Four games were on the schedule last night.

We obviously had to keep an eye on the Islanders-Canucks meeting.

Here are the results and highlights:

1. The Canucks beat the Islanders 5-2

With a win, the Islanders could have overtaken the Habs in the standings and been in a playoff position.

Unfortunately for them, they lost 5-2. Montreal still holds the last ticket to the spring tournament.

In the end of the second, big defenseman Derek Forbort scored the winning goal.

Teddy Blueger then hurt the New Yorkers.

He doubled the lead for his team early in the third period.

Since his return to the game, Thatcher Demko has been making spectacular saves.

Yesterday, he made a robbery on Bo Horvat.

Here’s an overview of the Western standings.

Vancouver is now three points away from the playoffs.

2. Hat-trick for Jason Robertson

The Stars-Oilers game may not have had any impact on the Canadiens, but it was still a great hockey game between two Western powers.

Dallas eventually won the game thanks to Jason Robertson’s natural hat-trick in the second period.

With his three goals, he gave his team a 4-0 lead.

Edmonton scored the next three goals, but it wasn’t enough.

For Robertson, that’s 17 goals in his last 24 games.

The other Stars goal was scored by Wyatt Johnston. He has nothing to envy from his teammate, with 16 goals in his last 24 games.

The team’s offense is firing on all cylinders.

In the Oilers, Stuart Skinner left the game after a collision with Mikko Rantanen.

3. The Bruins are not officially eliminated, but…

Last night, the Bruins were beaten by the Anaheim Ducks, 6-2.

As you could see in the standings, Boston is not officially eliminated, but it doesn’t bode well for the rest of the season.

The team is six points away from the playoffs, but with three more games played than the Habs and the 8th place team in the East. The two teams will face each other next Thursday, by the way.

But regarding the game against the Ducks, nothing was going well for the visitors. In the same sequence, they took two penalties and gave up a goal.

I’ve never seen that before…

Leo Carlsson had fun. He scored two goals to seal the victory for his team.

Joonas Korpisalo didn’t have the most glorious game.

He would certainly like to see that Cutter Gauthier shot again.

4. Devils win against the Hawks

In the other game of the evening, the Devils were visiting Chicago.

New Jersey finally won 5-3. A win is a win, but it wasn’t a masterpiece.

In the win, Luke Hughes had three assists. For the second time in as many years, he reached the 30-assist plateau in a season.

In the Blackhawks, youth is being served.

The second pick in the last draft, Artyom Levshunov, had a great game.

And Tyler Bertuzzi scored his 20th goal of the season earlier in the game.

It’s the fifth time he’s reached that plateau in his career.


Overtime

– It’s going well for him.

– Good news.

– The best scorers of the previous night.
