Not a busy night in the NHL last night.
12 teams were in action.
Here are the results and highlights:
1. Penguins score in own net with late penalty
The Penguins had a tough game in Arizona.
They first lost the game by a score of 5-2.
Pittsburgh didn’t give themselves a chance when they scored in their own net…

A game to forget…
At least Sidney Crosby continues to do well. More on that later…
For the winners, Logan Cooley put on a show. He made an excellent play to allow Jason Zucker to score.

Logan Thompson had made a fine save beforehand.
In the end, he finished with 32 saves on 38 shots.
But back to Toffoli, it was his sixth career hat trick and he’s now on track for 36 goals.

4. Sam Reinhart’s perfect season continues
Sam Reinhart will become an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season.
What better way to have the best season of his career?
Yesterday, he scored his 34th goal and broke his own record. He also increased his streak of games with at least one point to 10.

He’s just four goals behind top scorer Auston Matthews.
Thanks to the brilliance of he and Sam Bennett (three assists), the Panthers won 4-1 in Nashville.
In the win, reserve goalie Anthony Stolarz stopped 26 of 27 shots.
He also produced this little gem.
