Pittsburgh Penguins 5-3 Washington Capitals
Sidney Crosby scored the first two goals of the game en route to the Penguins' ninth win of the season. His 11 goals are now tied with Anaheim's Cutter Gauthier for the league lead.
But after teammates, and former Capitals player, Anthony Mantha (7) put the Penguins up 3-0, the Caps answered back with three goals of their own from Dylan Strome (4), Rasmus Sandin (1), and Tom Wilson (9) to tie it up.
A power play goal from Bryan Rust (5) and an empty netter from Connor Dewar (4) would be all that's needed to win.
This was the 99th matchup between Crosby and Alexander Ovechkin, who recently scored his 900th career goal

But New Jersey's Timo Meier (4) proved clutch after tying the game with under two minutes left to send it to overtime.
Jesper Bratt (5), who assisted on Meier's goal, would send home the game-winner after 1:33 into OT.
The Devils became the first team to reach 10 wins in the 2025-2026 season as they improved to 10-4-0. Montreal, much like Ottawa, have also lost two straight in overtime as they fell to 9-3-2.
Carolina Hurricanes 4-3 Minnesota Wild
Carolina's Jordan Staal set a Hurricanes record after playing in his 910th game with the franchise, and his teammates made sure to celebrate with a win.

And that was all that was needed for the Hurricanes to improve to 9-4-0 after both sides failed to score in the third.
Minnesota fell to 5-7-3.
St. Louis Blues 3-0 Buffalo Sabres
In the best uniform matchup of the night, Blues goalie Joel Hofer picked up his second-career shutout after making 27 saves.
