NHL Scoreboard Explosion
Ducks' Beckett Sennecke topped rookie scoring with 3 assists in an OT win vs Oilers, while Wild's Boldy had 4 points and Blues' Holloway notched a hat trick plus 4 points. McDavid hit 100 points and Hertl reached 600 NHL career points with a PP goal. Brad Marchand scored twice as the Panthers beat the Maple Leafs 5-1, while Dylan Larkin scored his 28th goal in OT in his first game back from Olympic gold.
Connor McDavid's 100-point season is his ninth, placing him third all-time in the NHL. He now only trails Wayne Gretzky (15) and Mario Lemieux (10) for the most 100-point seasons in league history. The milestone came as the Oilers snapped a four-game losing streak with an 8-1 victory over the Kings. Dylan Larkin's overtime goal was his 13th career OT winner, passing Sergei Fedorov for the most in Detroit Red Wings franchise history. The goal was Larkin's second of the game and his 28th of the season. The win moved the Red Wings into second place in the Atlantic Division. Dylan Holloway's four-point night, which included the St. Louis Blues' first hat trick of the season, came in his return after missing 23 of the previous 24 games with a high ankle sprain. The performance also marked his 100th career point. Matthew Boldy's two-goal, two-assist effort made him the first player in Minnesota Wild history to record consecutive four-point games. The outburst extended his personal point streak to seven games and helped the Wild secure their sixth straight victory. Brad Marchand's two goals against the Maple Leafs brought his season total to 27, tying him with Sam Reinhart for the Florida Panthers team lead. The win was crucial for a Panthers team that entered the night eight points out of a playoff spot and had lost five of six games before the Olympic break. Tomáš Hertl's power-play goal marked his 600th career NHL point, making him the 18th Czech player in history to reach that milestone. Despite his achievement, the Vegas Golden Knights ultimately fell to the Washington Capitals 3-2.
