Brady Tkachuk scored in the 21st second of overtime to give Ottawa a 3-2 victory in Boston with his 12th shot of the game. The win was special for Senators goaltender Linus Ullmark, who made his first appearance against Boston since the summer trade. The Bruins sent him to Ottawa in exchange for Joonas Korpisal, Marco Kastelic and a 2024 first-round pick (the Bruins picked Dean Letourneau 25th overall).
The Ullmarks prepared a video at TD Garden, and then the Swedish goalkeeper received a “standing ovation” from the fans. “It was really emotional, I won’t lie. I got chills when I heard the fans screaming. Every player probably dreams of that, I’m glad that they welcomed me like this” said Ullmark, who was with the Bruins for three years with Jeremy Swayman.
“There is a great bond between us and seeing him in a different jersey is strange. I’m glad he’s doing well and I wish him the best,” said Swayman, who also caught the entire match and has previously called Ullmark a “brother for life.” Ullmark spent three successful seasons in Boston, winning the Vezina Trophy for the best goaltender in 2023.

The record is held by Martin Brodeur (21 consecutive seasons), followed by Marc-Andre Fleury (20), Terry Sawchuk (19), Roberto Luongo (19) and Patrick Roy (18). “I didn’t know about that streak, but it means I’ve played on good teams for 17 seasons.

Due to bad weather, the Hurricanes arrived in Denver only on the day of the game. “I have to praise ‘Georgie’ for keeping us in the game and we were down by only one goal after the first period.

Slovak Sensations and NHL Highlights: Capitals Crush Blues 8-1
Hockey fans, grab your popcorn because this past weekend’s NHL action was nothing short of spectacular! Martin Fehérváry, our Slovak sensation, found himself at the center of attention with a stellar assist in the Washington Capitals’ 8-1 thrashing of the St. Louis Blues. Yes, it was one of those evenings when the Caps didn’t just win; they utterly *decimated* their opponents. Think of it like David taking on Goliath, but with fewer slingshots and more slap shots!
Meanwhile, Tomáš Tatar was living the dream as his New Jersey Devils put the beatdown on the New York Islanders, winning 4-3 thanks to some last-minute heroics. In a dramatic ending that felt like a Hollywood blockbuster, Dawson Mercer and Stefan Noesen (Noesen who? The dude who decided to turn the clock back and save the day!) combined forces to equalize with just seconds left on the clock. Jack Hughes then secured the win in overtime—cue the dramatic music!
But then, we have Montreal and Calgary, who decided it would be fun to bring a *different* kind of drama— the kind that includes ongoing losing streaks. Montreal fell 4-1 to the Toronto Maple Leafs, marking their sixth consecutive loss. So, if you’re a Canadiens fan, take a breather, grab a couch, and remember it’s always darkest before the dawn—or in your case, darkest before the next game! At least Brendan Gallagher managed to score, which begs the question: if a tree falls in the woods and nobody’s around to hear it, does it make a sound? If Montreal scores and no one cares…
Calgary, on the other hand, lost 3-2 in a shootout against the Buffalo Sabres, thanks to John-Jason Peterka being the only one with any shooting accuracy in the shootout. Now that’s sporting excellence! We should all take notes from Peterka when it’s our turn at the bar, right? Just one result, please!
Meanwhile, in Winnipeg, they made history by securing a 4-1 victory against Dallas, marking their fourteenth win in the first fifteen games! Talk about starting off on the right foot… or should I say foot long? Jets coach Scott Arniel expressed his pride, but I can just imagine him giving a pep talk that would rival a sports movie script. “We’re breaking records, boys! Let’s keep it going! No pressure.”
Team Performances and Player Highlights
Fehérváry had a solid game, finishing with an assist while logging nearly 19 minutes on the ice. He set up Michael Sgarbossa for his first goal of the season—nothing like being the good Samaritan of hockey! Ovechkin, the ageless wonder, lit the lamp twice, inching him closer to Wayne Gretzky’s all-time goal record. If things keep going this way, Ovi might just be flash-freezing himself in time until he reaches 894.
In the New Jersey vs. Islanders showdown, after clawing their way back from behind, it was a nail-biting moment for the Devils faithful as they showcased some good ol’ hockey grit. Tatar might have only chipped in with minor contributions, but hey, he was there—just like your friend who shows up for parties but does nothing to help with cleanup!
A Not-So-Great Night for Some
And for Calgary’s Martin Pospíšil, it’s a case of “better luck next time,” as he’s now gone 12 games without registering a point. Perhaps he’s learning the intricacies of the game from the bench? Seems like he’s been auditioning for the role of “spectator” for quite a while now! It can’t be easy watching your team lose while you’re sitting there; at least he has the snacks, right?
Across the league, the Colorado Avalanche outcharmed the Carolina Hurricanes in an exciting 6-4 match. Nathan MacKinnon led the charge with a goal and three assists. If he keeps this up, he might start charging for his autograph with how much he’s making headlines.
Neighborly Rivalry and Personal Acclaim
Finally, let’s reflect on the emotional night for Linus Ullmark as he faced off against his former team, the Boston Bruins, making for a riveting atmosphere. He not only helped the Senators to a 3-2 OT win but also received a warm welcome from the Bruins fans. It’s nice when there’s still love, even after break-ups in the world of sports—like a hockey version of “we can still be friends.”
And if we’re not tired yet, let’s give a round of applause to the New York Rangers and their shining star, Jonathan Quick, who made 37 saves to lead his team to a 4-1 victory over Detroit. Remember kids, it’s not just about how you start, but how you finish… comedy career included!
In Conclusion
So, from Slovak heroes to emotional rollercoasters, every night in the NHL is a new chapter filled with laughter, tears, and sometimes a brawl or two! Stay tuned for more action, folks—in hockey, the only guarantee is that things can change faster than your boss saying, “We need to talk!”

Nylander also contributed significantly to the match with a goal and an assist.

The Capitals managed to bounce back from a previous night’s defeat in Pittsburgh, where they faced a disappointing 2:4 loss, showcasing their resilience.
Goalie Logan Thompson from Winnipeg continued to shine, making 24 saves, maintaining an impressive 7-0-0 record this season. The only blemish for the Jets came from Scott Perunovich’s goal for St. Louis, who managed to find the net in the 79th game of his NHL career. In stark contrast, St. Louis’ captain Brayden Schenn expressed his frustration, emphasizing the unacceptable nature of their performance, particularly during the third period, where they squandered a chance to make a comeback.
“It is completely unacceptable how we played in the third period. No need to take napkins. We were losing 1:3 and something could have been done about it, but we completely left and let our goalkeeper take a bath,” an upset Schenn stated following the heavy loss. Ovechkin’s duo of goals against the Blues marked his tenth goal of the season, adding to his impressive record of 21 goals and 17 assists in 27 games against St. Louis.

In another thrilling matchup, Brady Tkachuk clinched a dramatic 3-2 victory for Ottawa over Boston moments into overtime with his twelfth shot of the game. This win held special significance for Senators goaltender Linus Ullmark, who faced his former team for the first time since being traded and received a heartfelt “standing ovation” from the fans at TD Garden.
“It was really emotional, I won’t lie. I got chills when I heard the fans screaming. Every player probably dreams of that; I’m glad that they welcomed me like this,” Ullmark noted, expressing his appreciation for the warm reception. Tkachuk’s overtime goal not only sealed the game but also set a new club record for the most overtime goals, breaking Mike Fisher’s previous record.
New York Rangers delivered a convincing performance in a 4:1 victory over Detroit, with veteran goaltender Jonathan Quick playing a critical role, achieving his 61st career shutout by making 37 saves. This milestone marked the 38-year-old’s remarkable achievement of at least one shutout in 17 consecutive seasons, solidifying his legacy in the league.
