Top-5 : John Gibson may have made the save of the year

Dose
Crédit:

There were five games in the National League on Wednesday evening.

The Canadian – who will be in Edmonton this evening to face the Oilers – was not in action.

Let’s see what happened anyway:

1: John Gibson, wow!

John Gibson has always been one of the good goalkeepers in the National League.

We don’t talk much about him because he plays in Anaheim… And because it’s been a while since the Ducks have been really good.

But yesterday, Gibson reminded everyone that he can be excellent.

He possibly made the save of the year in the NHL:

Unfortunately for him… Gibson had to leave the game due to an injury.

The Ducks announced that he is injured in the lower body:

Note that the Ducks lost 3-2 to the Canucks.

And for those who are wondering… No, Elias Pettersson did not collect a point in his team’s victory.

Also, at the end of the game, we saw Trevor Zegras throw his gloves.

This doesn’t happen often… but apparently, the Ducks player was furious with the result of the game:

2: If this continues…

If this continues, we’ll see Alex Ovechkin break Wayne Gretzky’s record this season.

Because yes… the Capitals captain scored again last night.

He scored his 32nd goal of the season in just his 46th game (machine) and now he’s only 10 goals away from breaking the #99 record.

Ovi is really, really on a mission:

The game between the Caps and the Rangers had to go to overtime to determine a winner between the two teams, and in overtime, it was the world’s favorite hockey player who gave the victory to his team (3-2).

You’ll understand that I’m talking here about Tom Wilson (hehe):

Without making too much noise, Wilson is on his way to scoring 38 goals this season.

For a guy like him, that’s more than good…

3: Mitch Marner puts on a show in Vegas

The Leafs were in Vegas to play for the win against the Golden Knights.

Spoiler: it didn’t go well.

And that’s even if Matthew Knies tried to set the tone for the game by fighting Zach Whitecloud after the first faceoff:

Auston Matthews scored the first goal of the game in the end of the second period to collect a point in his 11th straight game… But it was too late.

The score was already 5-0 in favor of Vegas:

The Leafs were so bad last night that it was hard for the fans in attendance to stay awake.

This video says it all:

Mitch Marner tried everything to wake up his team in the last 10 minutes of the game.

He really put on a show:

The Leafs never got into the game, in the end.

The Toronto team lost 5-2 and lost their second straight game.

4: It’s not going well for Bedard

We’re going to overtime in the Sens vs Hawks game.

The Senators have the opportunity to go for another big point… And that’s what they were able to do with this goal (legal?) by Tim Stutzle.

The Ottawa team won 4-3:

But here, I especially want to focus on Connor Bedard… who was again shut out.

The young Blackhawks sensation hasn’t collected a point in his last seven games.

He’s probably in the driest streak of his career and it’s really not going well for him lately.

But that’s what happens when a team can’t surround its good players as it should…

5: Robert Thomas takes care of the Kings

The Blues player was the most used in the game and we really saw his impact.

He created the equalizer at the end of the second period with a perfect shot:

The game went to overtime and no player was able to score.

But if I was talking about Robert Thomas a moment ago, it’s not a coincidence either.

He’s the one who brought the victory to his team in the shootout:

The Kings, who are in the running for a playoff spot, have now lost their last five games.

This is not a good time for the team to collapse… And it will be interesting to see if this will have an impact on the team’s decisions tomorrow, for the NHL trade deadline.

Overtime

— Beautiful game.
