The CH had to win last night’s game and it can say mission accomplished.

The fans had to follow the two other games on the schedule, as two direct competitors of the team were in action: the Senators and the Wings.

One won and the other lost:

1. The Senators are not helping the CH

In the afternoon, the Senators visited the Devils and with a 2-1 victory, Ottawa starts the day at the top of the wild card teams in the Eastern Conference.

The Sens have 52 points, two points more than the Tricolore and one more than the Jackets.

Here is a summary of the matchup.

The winning goal was scored by Artem Zub.

And the other goal from the visitors was scored by Zack Ostapchuk.

It was his first goal in the NHL.

And for a rare occasion, Brady Tkachuk was in the spotlight for the right reasons.

He was very honest with the official and that saved the Devils from a penalty.

2. The Wings lost, too

In the other match presented, the Red Wings visited the Dallas Stars and for the second consecutive night, Detroit lost.

The Wings are slipping away from the mix… The victories of the Sens and the CH hurt them.

Detroit hasn’t won in Texas since 2017.

The Stars’ 4-1 victory was their 12th consecutive home win against the Red Wings.

In the win, Quebecer Mavrik Bourque scored his team’s third goal.

Wyatt Johnston scored that beautiful goal to seal the outcome of the game.

Detroit is five points away from the playoffs and currently sits at the bottom of the East (13th place).

A weekend to forget for Todd McLellan’s crew.

Overtime

– It’s not just Montreal that is on fire.

– A first goal for Matej Blumel.

– Two CH players among the top scorers of the night.
