Yesterday in the NHL, there were 10 games.

Obviously, we had to keep an eye on whether Connor McDavid would reach the 1,000-point plateau.

Here are the results and highlights:

1. A 1000th point for Connor McDavid

As the Oilers hosted the Preds, we had to watch to see if McDavid would reach the 1,000-point plateau.

In the first period, he came very close.

But that was only the end of the story.

Moments later, he foiled Scott Wedgewood.

Papa McDavid was proud of his son!

The Oilers captain reached this plateau in 659 games and became the fourth player in history to reach this plateau the fastest.

As Frank Seravalli pointed out, to put things in perspective, he reached 1,000 points in 98 fewer games than Sidney Crosby, in 189 fewer games than Evgeni Malkin and in 211 fewer games than Alex Ovechkin.

What a player!

This beautiful evening in Alberta ended 3-2 in overtime thanks to Darnell Nurse, who capitalized on a pass from McDavid.

2. A 300th victory for Andrei Vasilevskiy

In addition to McDavid, another field hockey player could reach a very important plateau yesterday.

Andrei Vasilevskiy could reach the 300th NHL victory plateau. And with a win at the hands of the NHL’s top team, the Jets, the Russian reached that mark and became the fastest goaltender in history to reach the plateau.

He achieved this feat in just 490 games, while Jacques Plante did it in 521.

Still!

Sergei Bobrovsky ranks third (541 games), having reached that plateau earlier this season.

In the game between Tampa Bay and Winnipeg, the Lightning goaltender made 23 saves on 24 shots.

Final score: 4-1.

3. Matvei Michkov puts on a show in Ottawa

Matvei Michkov has clearly learned his lesson.

After being left out of two games, all he does is score. Yesterday, in Ottawa, he showed the extent of his talent with a superb goal in overtime.

A heartbreaking defeat for the Sens, who led 4-2 midway through the third period.

But of course, the visitors never gave up and scored back-to-back goals.

In defeat, Thomas Chabot (two assists), Josh Norris (a goal and an assist) and Ridly Greig (two assists) picked up two points for Ottawa.

4. Oskar Back and Jonathan Lekkerimaki score their first NHL goals

While Connor McDavid scored his 1,000th point, two young players scored their first NHL goals.

Oskar Back (Stars) and Jonathan Lekkerimaki (Canucks) found the back of the net for the first time in their NHL careers.

First, Back scored a one-handed goal.

Stars win with a touchdown and a one-point conversion against Boston.

Here’s Lekkerimaki’s goal:

Vancouver lost 5-2.

Bo Horvat was back in British Columbia for the second time since his trade. He collected two assists.

5. Sam Reinhart overtakes Cole Caufield

The NHL’s top scorer is no longer Cole Caufield.

That title now belongs to Sam Reinhart, who scored his 13th goal of the season yesterday.

The Panthers’ other goal was scored by Jesper Boqvist.

What a goal!

But in a 6-2 Devils victory, the real hero was Jesper Bratt.

He scored a hat trick.

Jack Hughes also had a good game (three points).

He also contributed with his strong play.
