The ocean had died down once the matches for the hundredth season in NHL history.
Three points of Patrick Kane (1+2) helped “Chicago” on the road to deal with “Montreal”, and the defeat Minnesota in the match with “Washington” allowed “Blackhawks” to return to the top of the Western conference.
Alexander Ovechkin broke prolonged goalless streak, and “Washington” in the home match with “Minnesota” won the first victory in the last five games. The first star of the match was the author of three assists Nicholas Backstrom.
“Tampa Bay” in overtime beat “Ottawa”, and was one step away from returning to the area playoffs. 52 seconds before the end of extra time accurate throw Hedman provided the “Lightning” fourth victory in a row.
“San Jose” continues a pursuit of leaders of the West – today “the shark” mark strong-willed victory over “Buffalo” and reduced the backlog from Minnesota to just one point.
