CAN’T MISS 🎯

🎩 David Pastrnak’s hat trick lifts Bruins over the Avalanche 5-2. The 27-year-old sniper wasted no time last night, sniping his 1st goal of the game just 44 seconds into action before redirecting a Jake DeBrusk feed to the back of the net with 2:36 remaining in regulation and adding an empty netter just over two minutes later. The hat trick moves Pastrnak (29) into the top-3 in NHL goal scoring, behind only Auston Matthews (37) and Sam Reinhart (33). Jakub Lauko and DeBrusk added goals while Jeremy Swayman collected 30 saves as the Bruins extended their point streak to seven games. Read more →

⚡️ Victor Hedman scores and adds three assists, Lightning scorch Wild 7-3. The 6’7” defenseman unleashed a rocket one-timer over the left shoulder of the Wilds’ Filip Gustavsson for his 8th of the season just over six minutes into regulation, before assisting on two Anthony Cirelli goals plus Steven Stamkos’ 3rd period power play tally. Nikita Kucherov had three assists, including the 500th of his career. Brayden Point, Waltteri Merela, and Michael Eyssimont rounded out Tampa’s scoring while Andrei Vasilevskiy made 30 saves in the Lightning’s 4th consecutive win. Read more →

⭐️ Auston Matthews scores hat trick and adds assist, Maple Leafs rally past Flames 4-3. The former 1st overall pick wasn’t deterred by the Flames early 2-0 lead, scoring a nasty 1st goal in the dying minutes of the 1st period before one-timing a Willy Nylander feed for his 2nd and burying a Matthew Knies rebound midway through the 2nd period to complete his 4th hat trick of the season. Matthews assisted Mitch Marner’s 2nd period goal, Nylander and Pontus Holmberg each had two assists, and Martin Jones collected 23 saves as the Leafs snapped a 4-game losing streak. Read more →
