Top-3: Leon Draisaitl celebrates with the Wings

Crédit:

Last night, there were four games in the NHL.

The Canadiens beat the Flyers in Philadelphia, and six other clubs were in action.

Here are the results and highlights:

1. Leon Draisaitl celebrates with the Wings

Yesterday was Leon Draisaitl’s 29th birthday.

For the occasion, he treated himself to (the) Wings. He scored not one, but two goals, including the winner in overtime.

In nine games this season, the German has 10 points.

He’s earned himself a cupcake, too.

In addition to his two goals, Draisaitl picked up an assist on this Evan Bouchard goal

What a shot!

Oilers win 3-2.

2. Nico Hischier tops NHL scoring charts

Before the evening’s games, Nico Hischier was tied with Nikita Kucherov (8) at the top of the NHL scoring charts.

But with one goal, he has officially overtaken him.

The Devils finally crushed the Ducks 6-2.

New Jersey had allowed the first goal, but Jack Hughes tied the game fairly quickly.

The club didn’t look back afterwards.

In the win, Stefan Noesen stood out with a two-goal performance. Jonas Siegenthaler, Dougie Hamilton and Dawson Mercer also shone with two assists each.

3. Two points from Nathan MacKinnon in his 800th game

In the final game of the evening, the Ottawa Senators visited Ball Arena to take on the Avalanche.

It was Nathan MacKinnon’s 800th career game.

And he celebrated that plateau in style.

He picked up an assist on Nikolai Kovalenko’s first career goal.

He had scored a goal earlier, but it was disallowed.

Shortly thereafter, there was a somewhat unusual situation in front of the Sens net.

Anton Forsberg left momentarily due to equipment failure. Linus Ullmark came in, made two saves and Forsberg returned.

Pretty weird.

In the third period, Nick Cousins scored his first goal with the Senators to tie the game.

Colorado didn’t give up, however, and scored the next two goals.

Ross Colton took the opportunity to score his eighth goal of the season.

Final score: 5-4 Colorado. MacKinnon scored into an empty net for his second point of the game.

Overtime

– A good game for him.

– A battle of the heavyweights.

– Draisaitl, Travis Sanheim and Casey Mittlestadt lead the charge.
