Last night, the Canadiens did not play, even though it was Thursday.

However, 20 teams were in action.

Here are the results and highlights:

1. Sidney Crosby, the ninth all-time points leader

To become the ninth all-time points leader in NHL history, Sidney Crosby needed just two points.

And he collected those two points in the first period. The Penguins captain surpassed Joe Sakic with 1,642 points. Not bad!

He still has a long way to go before catching up to a certain Mario Lemieux.

By the end of No. 87’s career, where will he rank on this list?

As for the game against the Oilers, Pittsburgh started the match strong by scoring four goals in the first period.

And in the second period, Sid even scored the team’s fifth goal, bringing his total points to 1,643.

In the 5-3 loss, Leon Draisaitl became the first player of the 2024-2025 season to score 30 goals.

He ended the game with two goals, his 30th and 31st of the season.

2. 10 points in 10 games for Jonathan Drouin

Since joining Colorado, Jonathan Drouin has revived his career.

His 56 points last year earned him another contract in the NHL, and this year, even though he does not play much, he is making an impact. In the games he was in uniform, he collected points.

In 10 games this season, the Québécois has 10 points. Yesterday, in a 6-1 victory for the Avalanche in Minnesota, he registered two assists.

It was a night to forget for the Wild at home.

First, the team only had one professional goalie in uniform.

And the only healthy goalie, Filip Gustavsson, allowed six goals on 27 shots.

One cannot say he was helped by his teammates…
