The Canadiens failed to beat the Capitals last night in Washington.

Martin St-Louis’ men now trail the series 2-0…

Note that there were also two other NHL games on Wednesday. Let’s find out what happened:

Gabriel Landeskog’s comeback spoiled

It had been 1,032 days since Gabriel Landeskog had played in an NHL game.

That’s a long time.

But the Avalanche captain was officially back in action last night, and the fans on hand gave him a warm welcome.

A great moment for the player, really:

Ah, and Landeskog didn’t waste any time getting the crowd screaming either.

In his very first appearance in the game, he decided to energize his teammates by giving a check to… his former teammate, Mikko Rantanen.

You can’t make it up:

The Avalanche really started the game the right way, and the lineup took advantage quickly too.

Valeri Nichushkin took advantage of his club’s momentum to open the scoring with a sublime goal :

In terms of goals, it was a quiet game.

The Avalanche had their chances, but Jake Oettinger was solid in front of his net. The same goes for the Stars and Blackwood…

But Blackwood isn’t perfect either, and the Stars found a way to tie the game.

The Stars’ captain, Jamie Benn, tied it:

After 60 minutes of play, the score was still tied 1-1.

Overtime was necessary and in overtime, it was a Stars veteran who stood up.

After Jamie Benn tied the game… here’s Tyler Seguin giving his club the win:

The Stars won the game 2-1 and now have a 2-1 lead in the series.

The Avalanche better get back on track… because if they lose the next game – which will be in Colorado – it could really start to get dangerous.

What’s going on with the Oilers?

The Oilers are truly despicable.

Last night, at least, they weren’t there to compete with the Kings.

It was already 3-0 in favor of Los Angeles about halfway through the game…

But the Oilers made a comeback. Leon Draisaitl scored late in the 2nd and Viktor Arvidsson did the same early in the 3rd.

It was 3-2 to the Kings at that point…

But that’s when it all fell apart for Stuart Skinner and the Oilers.

Adrian Kempe (twice) and Anze Kopitar scored three unanswered goals in the third frame and chased Skinner from the game :

The Kings eventually won the game by a score of 6-2. And the team’s fans had a blast at the end of the game.

Fans shouted “we want Skinner” as he left the game after allowing five goals on 25 shots.

Ah, the Oilers and their goalies… At least the series (2-0 Kings) is moving to Edmonton:
