The Canadiens gave the Bruins a run for their money last night, especially in the third period.

But nine other games were also played.

Here are the results and highlights:

1. Five assists for Connor McDavid

In the Battle of Alberta, Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl gave the Flames no chance.

They had fun, collecting eight points in a 5-1 victory. McDavid picked up an assist on every goal and Leon Draisaitl scored a hat trick.

The Oilers captain has the most points in the NHL before the Christmas break.

He has exactly 67 points in 38 games. Wow!

A season to forget for Calgary.

Mackenzie Weegar received a game misconduct for hitting the bay window in the penalty box.

The match ended in chaos.

2. Seventh straight win for Buffalo

Surprisingly, the Sabres are one of the best teams on the circuit these days.

Yesterday, they won again. This time, the Senators were the victims.

Final score: 3-2 in overtime. Buffalo won a seventh consecutive game.

Marc Bergevin's club is only two points away from the playoffs.

The Buffalo team hasn't made the playoffs since 2011.

In addition to the winning goal, Bowen Byram collected a goal and an assist. He was therefore involved in all his team's goals.

3. A spectacular save by Igor Shesterkin… that doesn't count

At 40, Alex Ovechkin is the all-time leading scorer.

He's also one of the most successful checkers of his career. Even at his age, he's still hitting.

His Russian compatriot Igor Shesterkin almost stole the show.

He made a superb save, but the puck crossed the goal line.

However, it was New York who had the last word.

7-3 victory.

Will Cuylle, Taylor Raddysh, and Vincent Trocheck all collected three points in the victory.

4. Steven Stamkos scores in his 1200th game

The Predators were in Minnesota last night.

It was Steven Stamkos' 1200th NHL game.

Stammer took the opportunity to score the winning goal in overtime.

His 15th of the season.

He also picked up an assist in the win.

For the Wild, the pairing of Quinn Hughes and Brock Faber is simply sensational.

5. Five first-period goals for Vegas

The Golden Knights gave the poor Sharks no chance last night.

They put the game out of reach in the first period. Five goals were scored in the first period.

This explosion of goals began in the very first moments of the match.

What a 2-on-1 net.

The hosts eventually won 7-2.

Seven Knights players finished with two points.


Overtime

– Oops.

– Not a pretty pass for the Canes.

– The only goal of the match.

– The best player in the world obviously leads the charge.
