With Ottawa pressing for the top Wild Card seed in the Eastern Conference and trailing the Devils 2-0 heading into the second, the Senators mounted a three-goal comeback — and the goal that put them ahead came courtesy of Fabian Zetterlund, who stripped the puck from a New Jersey defender and finished to make it 3-2.

Ottawa came into Newark chasing the first Wild Card seed and delivered one of the more dramatic periods of the night, outshooting New Jersey 16-4 in the second and scoring three unanswered goals to turn a 2-0 deficit into a 3-2 lead. The Senators couldn't hold it — the Devils equalized in the third and won it on a power-play goal in overtime — leaving Ottawa to walk away with just the one point from a game they had firmly in hand.

It didn't take long for James Hagens to make his mark — the 19-year-old needed just two periods, picking up the secondary assist on a Henri Jokiharju goal in the second by keeping the puck in at the blue line and finding Sean Kuraly on the forecheck. Selected seventh overall in the 2025 NHL Draft, Hagens had signed an ATO with Providence in late March before earning his callup. The real hero of the 3-2 win was Kuraly, who finished with a season-high three points, with Mark Kastelic's third-period winner proving the difference.

With the score still 0-0 deep into the second period at UBS Arena, Nick Suzuki took a feed from Juraj Slafkovský and tapped it home at 15:56 — his 29th goal of the season, and his 100th point. The milestone made him the first Canadiens captain in franchise history to hit the century mark, and the first Canadiens player in over 40 years to do so, with Mats Naslund last hitting triple digits in 1985-86. Suzuki is only the fifth player in the 108-year history of the franchise to reach 100 points in a season, joining Guy Lafleur, Peter Mahovlich, Steve Shutt, and Naslund.

Called up from Laval just hours before puck drop after Noah Dobson suffered an upper-body injury, David Reinbacher made an immediate mark in his NHL debut. The Austrian defenseman, selected by Montreal with the fifth overall pick in the 2023 draft, picked up the secondary assist on Alex Newhook's 3-0 goal — the third of Montreal's remarkable 55-second burst — in 11:17 of ice time. The 21-year-old had posted 24 points in the AHL this season before getting the call.

In a game Washington needed badly with playoff seeding at stake, Logan Thompson delivered a spotless performance, stopping all 24 shots the Penguins could muster for a complete-game shutout. The clean sheet was the perfect complement to Connor McMichael's two-goal, one-assist night up front, giving the Capitals a 3-0 result in their second win over Pittsburgh in as many days.

With their playoff positioning on the line, Washington made light work of Pittsburgh for the second time in as many days, winning 3-0 behind a dominant two-way performance. Connor McMichael was the offensive engine, finishing with two goals and an assist, while Logan Thompson was impenetrable between the pipes, turning aside all 24 shots he faced for the shutout. Alexander Ovechkin added an assist in what may have been his final home game, a bittersweet backdrop to an otherwise commanding Capitals win.
