Last night, there were six games on the schedule.

One of those games was won by the Canadiens in overtime.

Here are the other results and highlights:

1. 41 saves for Spencer Knight in his debut with the Blackhawks

The last game of the evening was between the Blackhawks and the Kings.

This was Spencer Knight’s first start with the Blackhawks. He was still wearing his Panthers uniform.

Knight was sensational, making 41 saves.

Chicago won 5-1. That’s the art of making a good first impression.

He became the fourth goalie in the organization’s history to make 40 saves or more in his first game with the team.

Ed Belfour, Jeff Glass, and Gilles Meloche had accomplished the same feat before him.

Among the Hawks’ forwards, Ryan Donato, Ilya Mikheyev, and Teuvo Teravainen each had two points.

2. A big point for the Senators

At 6:30 p.m., the two teams from the national capitals faced off.

In the second period, Washington seemed to be heading for an easy win, but the Senators didn’t give up.

Trailing 0-3, Ottawa came back to tie the game 3-3. The team then gave up the next goal, but tied the game again thanks to Brady Tkachuk at the end of the match.

However, it was the Capitals who won in a shootout thanks to a goal from Dylan.

Overall, it’s a big point earned by Ottawa, which is ahead of the Canadiens in the standings with one fewer loss.

In the win, Tom Wilson stood out.

A goal, an assist, and a fight (against Tkachuk). A Gordie Howe hat trick, then.

Pierre-Luc Dubois, meanwhile, has 10 points in his last seven games.

3. The Leafs escape against the worst team in the circuit

A trap game was waiting for the Leafs yesterday.

They faced the Sharks, the worst team in the NHL. And what was supposed to happen happened. The Torontonians lost in a shootout.

Fabian Zetterlund sealed the deal with a shootout goal.

In the middle of the third period, the Leafs were leading 1-0, but Tyler Toffoli tied the game.

For the Leafs, Calle Jarnkrok played in his 700th NHL game.

And his first game of the season, as he was injured.

He was left off the score sheet.

4. The Panthers win the Florida showdown

In Florida, the Panthers and Lightning faced off.

The reigning champions ultimately won the battle of the Sunshine State with a 2-1 victory.

Seth Jones made his debut with the Panthers.

Aleksander Barkov scored both of his team’s goals in the second period.

The team didn’t look back after that.

Sergei Bobrovsky made 27 saves against the team of the hour.

5. A header goal for Will Cuylle

After the Florida battle, here’s the New York battle.

A big showdown between these two teams in the playoff hunt.

The Rangers ultimately made short work of the Islanders with a 4-0 win. Igor Shesterkin had a shutout with 21 saves.

The winning goal was scored by Will Cuylle with a header.

However, it wasn’t intentional.

J.T. Miller is enjoying himself in New York.

On Cuylle’s goal, he had an assist and now has 14 points in 11 games since joining the Blue Shirts.

New York has as many points as the Red Wings and the last playoff spot.

Overtime

— He doesn’t want Ovi to approach the record.

— He’s on a hot streak.

— Nick Suzuki leads the charge.
