It was a very quiet Friday night last night in the National Hockey League, with only four teams in action.

In fact, only two games were played late in the evening.

Here are the highlights.

1. Logan Mailloux scores his first Blues goal

After a very difficult start to the season with St. Louis, the former Habs defenseman was sent back to the AHL for a few games.

He was then recalled by the Blues after scoring two goals in five games with the Springfield Thunderbirds.

Since his return to St. Louis, although not perfect, things have been going a little better for Mailloux, who isn't hurting his team as much.

And yesterday, he scored his first goal for the Blues in a 3-2 win over the Chicago Blackhawks.

Later in the first period, Mailloux also threw down the gloves to engage in combat with Colton Dach, Kirby Dach's little brother.

Mailloux had a strong game against the Blackhawks, spending 13 minutes and 17 seconds on the ice in this Blues victory.

The Habs veteran now has one goal and one assist in 20 games this season in St. Louis.

2. Connor Bedard injured in the last second of the game

In the same close game, there was a disturbing scene at the very end of the third period, when Chicago Blackhawks star Connor Bedard appeared to suffer a serious injury.

Taking a face-off in the offensive zone with 0.8 seconds left in the game, Bedard fell hard on the ice and appeared to be in serious shoulder pain afterwards.

It really seemed to hurt for Bedard, who quickly but painfully returned to the dressing room.

Speaking to the media after the game, Hawks head coach Jeff Blashill explained that Bedard wouldn't play on Saturday night against the Detroit Red Wings, and that we'd probably hear back on Monday.

Let's sincerely hope it's not a serious injury for Bedard, who has 44 points in 31 games, good for third in the NHL.
