A light schedule today sees only two games played, beginning with...
The Buffalo Sabres hosting the Edmonton Oilers. Mikko Koskinen and Linus Ullmark are the goalies. Edmonton led off in the first period with a Leon Draisaitl shorthanded goal, his forty-first of the season, set up by Connor McDavid and Darnell Nurse. Buffalo tied it on a Jack Eichel power play goal, his twenty-fourth of the year, powered by Rasmus Ristolainen and Jeff Skinner. The Sabres took the lead on a Casey Mittelstadt goal, his tenth of the season, assisted by Scott Wilson and Jason Pominville. Buffalo added on with another Eichel goal, his second of the game and twenty-fifth of the year, going in unassisted. The Oilers got one back in the second period with a Zack Kassian goal, his eleventh of the season, made possible by McDavid and Kris Russell. Edmonton tied it with a Nurse goal, his eighth of the year, guided in by Draisaitl and Sam Gagner. The Oilers pulled ahead with a Kyle Brodziak goal, his fifth of the campaign, fueled by Adam Larsson and Milan Lucic. Carter Hutton relieved Ullmark for the third period. The final stayed at 4-3, with the three stars given to Nurse, Eichel, and Draisaitl, while McDavid gets an honorable mention.
Westward to Calgary, as the Flames host the Toronto Maple Leafs. Frederik Andersen and David Rittich man the nets.

Toronto extended the lead as Zach Hyman scored his fifteenth of the season, thanks to Mitchell Marner. The Maple Leafs padded the lead in the second period with another Hyman goal, his second of the game and sixteenth of the year, coming off of Marner and Morgan Rielly. Calgary got on the board with a Matthew Tkachuk power play goal, his twenty-sixth of the season, with assists provided by Johnny Gaudreau and Sean Monahan. Toronto replied in the third period with Ennis completing his hat trick on his twelfth of the year, courtesy of Moore and Muzzin.
