Top-5 : A Superman punch from KK

Last night, 24 teams were in action in the NHL.

The Canadiens were one of those teams and won in overtime thanks to a superb goal by Cole Caufield.

Here are the results and other highlights:

1. Jesperi Kotkaniemi uses the Superman punch

Last night, the Carolina Hurricanes faced the Buffalo Sabres with their Hartford Whalers uniforms.

Jesperi Kotkaniemi took advantage of the opportunity to offer a beautiful show to the people in attendance. From the initial face-off, he threw his gloves against Dylan Cozens.

We can see that the former Canadien even tried a kind of “Superman punch”.

It obviously worked, because Cozens didn’t do much and KK went to the penalty bench with a win in the first round.

Carolina eventually won 5-2 and, in addition to KK, another Finn stood out. Mikko Rantanen scored on the power play, his first goal as a member of the Whalers (not the Canes).

It’s also worth noting the great generosity of the Canes organization.

2. It’s the Preds who slow down the Jets’ winning streak

Later in the evening, the Preds hosted the Jets.

Winnipeg had its eyes on a 12th consecutive win. It’s a good thing the team faced one of the worst teams in the NHL.

But it was the Preds who won 2-1.

The backup of Connor Hellebuyck tried everything to keep his team in the game.

What a save by Eric Comrie!

He stopped 28 of the 30 shots directed at him.

3. It’s Brayden Schenn’s turn to play 1000 games

Earlier in the season, Luke Schenn played in his 1000th game in the NHL.

And yesterday, it was his brother Brayden’s turn to achieve the same feat. A duo of brothers reaching the 1000-game plateau in the same year, that’s not something that happens often.

Several rumors are sending the two brothers to the same team. That would be special for them, in any case.

The Blues highlighted their captain’s milestone with a nice win against the best team in the league. A 5-2 win.

In the win, Philip Broberg pulled off a Superman goal.

He even added another goal a little later.

Alex Ovechkin, on the other hand, didn’t get any closer to Wayne Gretzky. In fact, he finished the game at minus-4.

4. “I fucking hate these guys”

Ryan Lomberg is no longer a member of the Panthers, but he still doesn’t like the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Yesterday, during a pre-game interview, the Flames player said this: “I fucking hate these guys”.

The Flames and Lomberg were shut out and lost 3-0.

It was the 38th shutout of Andrei Vasilevskiy’s career.

It was also Tampa Bay’s seventh consecutive win.

One of the teams of the hour in the NHL.

Here’s how the game ended, by the way:

5. Two goals for Matvei Michkov

For hockey fans, if there was a game you shouldn’t have missed, it was the one between the Penguins and the Flyers.

The game was won in overtime thanks to Evgeni Malkin:

But there was plenty of action.

In the second period, after a goal by Matvei Michkov (who finished the game with two goals), Alex Nedeljkovic was pulled from the game.

Needless to say, he was unhappy.

A little later, it was John Tortorella’s turn to lose his temper.

Garnet Hathaway retired to the locker room after this sneaky hit by Boko Imama and the Quebecer only received a minor penalty on the sequence.

This game is, however, bringing bad news for Montreal, as it ended in overtime. #3pointgame
