In front of more than 20,000, the Edmonton Oilers won 6:3 in the Canadian duel at the Ottawa Senators. Leon Draisaitl provided two assists while Connor McDavid extended his three-point streak (one goal, two assists) to 15 matches. On the Senators’ side, Tim Stützle remained without a point. The serious injury to goalkeeper Anton Forsberg shortly before the end was also bitter for the capital city. The Detroit Red Wings around defender Moritz Seider (21:32 minutes ice time) beat the Vancouver Canucks 5:2. In the first 155 seconds of the game, the in-form German contributed two templates.
The New York Islanders suffered a 4-3 penalty shootout loss in Montreal, despite new signing Bo Horvat scoring another goal. Local rivals New York Rangers, on the other hand, came from behind in Raleigh and defeated the Carolina Hurricanes 6-2. The Russian attacker Artemi Panarin put together a four-pack. The Los Angeles Kings also had a four-time goal scorer in Adrian Kempe on Sunday night. Todd McLellan’s team celebrated a 6-0 thrashing of Pittsburgh.
The St. Louis Blues gambled away a three-goal lead over the Arizona Coyotes in the last third, but ultimately scored two points 6-5 following overtime. Thomas Greiss was not used. Reigning Stanley Cup winner Colorado scored important points in the playoff fight with a 5-3 win over the Florida Panthers. Top striker Nathan MacKinnon had three points (two goals, one assist).
Columbus, bottom of the Eastern Conference, landed a surprising 4-3 coup in Toronto. The game winner was marked by youngster Kent Johnson. And Washington fought off a narrow 2-1 victory at the Boston Bruins.
