Top-5 : The stop of the year belongs to Linus Ullmark

Nine games were on the schedule last night in the NHL.
And let’s just say that action was not lacking.
Here are the results and highlights:

1. The save of the year belongs to Linus Ullmark
The Senators want the playoffs and it shows. Last night, they defeated the Bruins by a score of 6-3.
At the end of the game, the fans rightly chanted “we want playoffs.”

Ottawa is off to a good start, anyway.
Against his former team, Linus Ullmark stood out with a sensational save. Clearly the save of the year so far.

2. Sergei Bobrovsky in the top 10 of winning goalies
It was truly the night of goalies.
Last night in Toronto, Sergei Bobrovsky made 23 saves in a 3-2 Panthers win. With this win, the Russian goalie became the 10th winningest goalie in NHL history with his 424th win.

Sam Bennett (two goals), Sam Reinhart (two assists), and Mackie Samoskevich (two assists) stood out in the win.
On the Leafs’ side, Max Domi also had a good game. In addition to scoring a goal, he served a correction to Nate Schmidt after a big hit.

Ouch.
3. The number one duel between Macklin Celebrini and Connor Bedard belongs to Celebrini
For the first time in their young careers, Connor Bedard and Macklin Celebrini faced off. This rivalry is going to become like Sidney Crosby and Alex Ovechkin.
But the first duel belongs to Celebrini: a 4-2 Sharks win.
The first overall pick in the last draft started the game well. He fed Will Smith to break the ice.

Connor Bedard, on the other hand, was left off the score sheet.
Instead, he received a 10-minute penalty for abuse of officials.

It’s also important to mention that you shouldn’t touch Celebrini…

4. A goal in five consecutive games for Quinton Byfield
In one of the late-night games, the Kings hosted the Washington Capitals.
Los Angeles ultimately shut out Washington 3-0. 21 saves for Darcy Kuemper. It was his third shutout of the season.

Quinton Byfield, on the other hand, is on a happy streak.
He scored in a fifth consecutive game.

The Kings are 8-0-3 in their last 11 home games.
They’re good at home, them.
Let’s note that Pierre-Luc Dubois was left off the score sheet in his return to Los Angeles.
5. Vegas beats the Blue Jackets (to the great delight of the CH)
In Columbus, we were watching the game between the Blue Jackets and the Vegas Golden Knights.
The Blue Jackets are one of the teams that are ahead of the CH in the standings and they lost last night. Good news, then.
The Knights won 4-0.

In the win, Adin Hill made 27 saves for a shutout.
And Jack Eichel (with an assist) became the best scorer in a season in the young franchise’s history.
He has 79 points.
