Goaltender Connor Hellebuyck gave up two easy goals and the Ottawa Senators took the opportunity to beat the Winnipeg Jets 4-2 on Monday night at the Canadian Tire Center.
On the winning net, the masked man of the Manitoba formation very poorly controlled a weak clearance from defenseman Thomas Chabot. Evgenii Dadonov did not miss such an opportunity and easily beat him with the backhand.
Hellebuyck had previously allowed Connor Brown to continue his streak of success. The goalie hit the puck with his mitt, but the precious object ended its run behind the goal line.
Brown hit the target in an eighth straight game, improving his team-record mark.
Brady Tkachuk was the other scorer for the “Senses”, him who hit the target twice.
Kyle Connor and Nikolaj Ehlers provided the Jets response. It was Winnipeg’s 19th and 18th successes respectively this season.
Fresh off waivers, Victor Mete played his first game in the Senators’ uniform. He had made the trip between Montreal and the federal capital in the afternoon. In total, the rear was used for almost 10 minutes, collected no points and maintained a neutral differential.
Brandon Hagel slices overtime
At Nationwide Arena, forward Brandon Hagel hit the target in overtime, which saw the Chicago Blackhawks beat the Columbus Blue Jackets 4-3.
The hero of the day beat Joonas Korpisalo with a precise shot at the bottom of the net. He had previously accepted a nice stint from Kirby Dach.
Duncan Keith, Philipp Kurashev and Brett Connolly also hit the mark for the Hawks. In Connolly’s case, it was his first goal in his new uniform. The 28-year-old veteran was playing his first game with the Illinois club since they acquired the Florida Panthers last week.
Stefan Matteau and Patrik Laine (twice) recorded the successes of the losing team. The second overall pick in the 2016 draft blew his mind off his second goal, crossing the entire ice.
In addition, Blue Jackets forward Max Domi made a fool of him in the second period. After receiving a minor penalty for withholding, the former Montreal Canadiens violently attacked defenseman Connor Murphy, who did not want to know anything about dropping his gloves. In the end, Domi also received a minor for sticking and a 10 minutes of misconduct.
The Wings do it again at the Hurricanes
At PNC Arena, the Detroit Red Wings defeated the Carolina Hurricanes in a second straight game.
This time, the Michigan team signed a victory of 3 to 1.
Adam Erne and Filip Zadina beat goalie James Reimer in the opening three minutes of the final third.
The “Canes” responded via Nino Niederreiter, but Jonathan Bernier closed the door afterwards. The Quebecer made 37 saves and thus obtained his ninth victory in 19 games in 2020-2021.
Sam Gagner completed the score in an empty net.
This duel was Jordan Staal’s 1,000th career. The captain of the formation evolving in Raleigh is the second member of his family to achieve the feat, after his brother Eric.
