Read

Stars extend winning streak to 7 games, Senators secure 2-1 win over Lightning, and Kings score 3 straight goals to defeat Coyotes.



The St. Louis Blues are on fire, extending their winning streak to 11 games with a thrilling 5-4 overtime win against the Pittsburgh Penguins. After trailing 2-1, the Blues battled back with three consecutive goals to take a 4-2 lead. However, the Penguins refused to give up, with Rickard Rakell scoring a power-play goal and Rutger McGroarty tying the game with just under a minute left in the third period, sending the game into overtime.


In overtime, Robert Thomas scored the game-winner on a power play, securing the Blues' 11th straight win. This streak has propelled the Blues to fourth place in the Central Division, leapfrogging the Minnesota Wild. The Blues now boast a 42-28-7 record, with their sights set on continuing their impressive run.


Meanwhile, the Colorado Avalanche clinched a playoff spot with a resounding 7-3 win, led by star Cale Makar's outstanding performance. The Avalanche's victory marked their return to the playoffs, where they'll aim to win the Stanley Cup for the second time in three seasons.


Avalanche Clinch Playoff Spot with Dominant Win

The Colorado Avalanche responded to a mid-game deficit with a remarkable display of offense, scoring five consecutive goals to defeat the Columbus Blue Jackets 7-3. The Blue Jackets had taken a 3-2 lead midway through the second period, but the Avalanche took control from there, with Cale Makar's 30th goal of the season being a highlight. This achievement marked a milestone for Makar, as it was the first time he has reached the 30-goal mark in his career.




The Avalanche's win secured their spot in the playoffs, and they remain firmly in third place in the Central Division. In contrast, the Blue Jackets' loss has them trailing the Montreal Canadiens by four points in the Eastern Wild Card standings. The Blue Jackets now have 77 points, while the Canadiens hold the Wild Card spot with 81 points.


Canadiens Extend Winning Streak, Bruins' Skid Continues

The Montreal Canadiens secured their third consecutive win, defeating the Boston Bruins 4-1. The Canadiens dominated the game, scoring three straight goals to start. This victory marks a significant milestone for the team as they strive to make their first playoff appearance since reaching the Stanley Cup Finals in 2021.


The Bruins, on the other hand, are struggling severely, having lost 10 straight games. During this skid, they've been outscored 46-18, earning them the worst record in the Eastern Conference with a 30-37-9 standing. If their performance doesn't improve, they're on track to have their worst season since the 2005-2006 season, when they finished with a 29-37-16 record.


Stars Extend Winning Streak, Senators and Kings Secure Key Wins

The Dallas Stars continued their impressive run, earning their seventh consecutive win with a dominant 5-1 victory over the Nashville Predators. This streak has solidified the Stars' position in the standings, making them a formidable force in the league.




In another exciting matchup, the Ottawa Senators edged out the Tampa Bay Lightning 2-1, thanks in large part to the outstanding performance of goaltender Linus Ullmark. Ullmark made 31 crucial saves, securing the win for the Senators and showcasing his exceptional skill.




On the West Coast, the Los Angeles Kings staged a thrilling comeback, scoring three straight goals in the third period to defeat the Arizona Coyotes (not Utah Hockey Club, which does not exist in the NHL) 4-2. This victory marked a significant turnaround for the Kings, who have been working to improve their standing in the league.
