Notes :
And TJ Oshie pulled off a hat trick, which helped the Washington Capitals defeat the NY Rangers, the show was elsewhere and it felt like a premeditated act after the incidents of the past few days: Both teams took a total 72 penalty minutes in the opening minutes of the game over six separate brawls. So many penalties at the same time have also created a real “plug” at the level of prisons.
As a result, the two teams each received six major penalties for “excessive harshness”, including Capitals forward Tom Wilson. Which again received misconduct 10 minutes later. Fortunately, it can be said, he did not return to the game due to an upper body injury. The Capitals were again without captain Alex Ovechkin, who only made one shift on Monday. It is still limited by an injury to the lower body.

In overtime, the Vegas Golden Knights snatched a 3-2 victory over the Minnesota Wild. Minnesota were without forward Kevin Fiala, who was cut just before the game with a lower body injury. But the main thing was not there: the victory allowed the goalkeeper Marc-André Fleury to grab 3rd place in NHL history in terms of victories (490), one more than Roberto Luongo. Martin Brodeur tops this list (691), followed by Patrick Roy (551).
In Los Angeles’ victory over Arizona, Slovenian Anze Kopitar became the 91st player in NHL history to reach the prestigious 1,000 point plateau. He got this famous point with a pass that allowed Sean Walker to score in an empty cage. He is the 4th LAK player to obtain 1000 points, after Marcel Dionne (1307), Luc Robitaille (1154) and Dave Taylor (1069). Note that this defeat eliminates the Coyotes from the race for the playoffs.
