TOP SHELF HIGHLIGHTS 🚨

CAN’T MISS 🎯

🚨 Patrick Kane wins it in overtime, Red Wings rally past Avalanche 2-1. They don’t call him “showtime” for nothing as the 35-year-old sniper one-timed a behind-the-back Dylan Larkin feed past the glove of Colorado’s Justus Annunen for his 10th goal of the season 3:42 into OT. The goal is Kane’s 3rd game-winner of the season and 10th overtime winner of his career — 15th if you include playoffs. Wings’ captain Larkin tied the game at 1-1 midway through the 3rd period and Alex Lyon collected 30 saves as the as the Wings won their 3rd straight to move into 4th place in the Atlantic.

⌛️ Sebastian Aho snipes late, Hurricanes defeat Panthers 1-0. After Panthers’ Aaron Ekblad rang one off the post with 55 seconds left in the 3rd, Aho corralled a loose puck high in the slot before turning and unleashing a wicked wrister to the top right corner past Sergei Bobrovsky for his 21st goal and 7th game-winner of the season with just 19 seconds remaining in regulation. Pyotr Kochetkov made 44 saves for his 3rd shutout of the year and 7th in 52 NHL starts. The win is Carolina’s 4th straight and 6th in their past 7 games, while ending Florida’s 11-game road win streak. Read more →

🔥 Nazem Kadri buries in overtime, Flames beat Bruins 3-2. The London, Ontario native led a 3-on-1 rush and ripped it low glove past the B’s Linus Ullmark for his 20th goal and 2nd overtime finish of the season. Oliver Kylington opened scoring midway through the 1st with his 2nd goal of the year, rookie Martin Pospisil scored his 5th of the season in the last minute of the 1st, and Jacob Markstrom made 32 saves as the Flames won their 2nd straight after losing the three games prior.

POLL 🗳️

Which game will have the most goals scored tonight?

Place your prediction 🔮

Yesterday’s poll: Which player will record the most hits (2/22/24)?

Luke Schenn may have only collected 15.1% of yesterday’s poll votes, but he racked up far and away the most hits (4) last night relative to his competition — Skjei (0), Seider (1), Smith (1), and Parayko (0).

When I was growing up, if you were one of our bruising defenseman who only collected one hit in a game my coach would’ve said you played “soft as baby 💩.” Our team was unable to confirm if such candid feedback was handed out last night in any of these NHL locker rooms.

QUICK HITS ⚡️
