Yesterday in the NHL, there were four games on the schedule.

The game to watch was obviously the one between the Blue Jackets and the Islanders.

Here are the results and highlights:

1. Obviously, the Jackets-Islanders game was decided in overtime

In New York, the Islanders and the Blue Jackets from Columbus faced off. It was a big game for them, who could get closer to the playoffs.

In Montreal, they especially didn’t want a three-point game.

And that’s what happened, a final after the 60 minutes of regular time. The locals took a two-goal lead, but Columbus didn’t give up and came back.

First, Adam Fantilli beat Ilya Sorokin with a perfect shot.

Later, Boone Jenner created the tie.

At the end of the second period, Patrick Roy’s team took the lead in controversy.

Not sure this goal would have always been accepted.

At the end of the third period, the visitors came back again.

Kirill Marchenko scored his 26th goal of the season. Sean Monahan, who also stood out physically, picked up an assist on his return to the lineup.

The Islanders thought they had won in regular time, but this goal was refused.

What do you think? In any case, Patrick Roy didn’t hold back after the game: “If Toronto is afraid to overturn the decisions of its referees, maybe we don’t need Toronto”.

Direction shootout, as overtime was not enough to determine a winner.

Columbus finally won a big game thanks to Adam Fantilli’s goal in the shootout. The club therefore ends a sequence of six defeats.

2. Sheldon Keefe on Johnathan Kovacevic: “he is the best”

Two days ago, Sheldon Keefe threw his defenseman Johnathan Kovacevic under the bus.

He said that instead of talking, he should focus on his game. Apparently, Kovy listened to his coach’s instructions. Yesterday, he stole a goal from the opponent.

Keefe therefore mentioned that his defenseman was the best.

The relationship between the two men is still good, then.

Timo Meier led the charge for New Jersey with a two-goal performance.

After the goal by Erik Haula, the players went wild.

Jake DeBrusk, at the very end of the game, sent everyone into overtime.

Thatcher Demko, in his first game since February 8, stood out during the fourth period.

What a save here!

Like the Columbus-New York game, a shootout was necessary.

In a duel between Luke and Quinn Hughes, the Canucks finally won the game.

Final score: 4-3 in a shootout.

3. Mikko Rantanen takes a puck straight to the face

The Wild was visiting Dallas.

This game was marked by an injury to Mikko Rantanen’s face. The new arrival took a puck straight to the face.

More fear than harm, fortunately: he returned with a full face shield.

The Finn finally picked up a point in his team’s 3-0 win.

The Stars’ first two goals came in a span of 58 seconds.

First, Wyatt Johnston found the back of the net for the 26th time this season.

And Matt Duchene scored his 27th of the year.

Jake Oettinger took care of defending his team’s net.

In the second period, he stole Marco Rossi at close range.

The goalie finished the game with a 32-save shutout.

4. The Wings are still alive

Last night, two teams in a similar situation faced off.

The Wings were visiting Utah. Detroit finally won 5-1.

Big win for the Michigan club, big loss for Utah. Here is a portrait of the playoffs in the West. Utah remains six points away from the Blues and the last rank giving access to the playoffs.

As for the game, Dylan Guenther picked up his 100th career point in the loss.

He scored his team’s only goal.

In the win, Alex DeBrincat and Simon Edvinsson were the top scorers with two points each.

Don’t rule out the Wings too quickly from the playoff picture…

They are only three small points away.

Overtime

– A nice dish.

– Solid.

– Seven players with two points.
