Montreal tied it on a Rem Pitlick goal, his sixth of the season, coming off of Jake Evans. The Islanders took the lead on a Hudson Fasching goal, his tenth of the year, helped along by Zach Parise and Jean-Gabriel Pageau. New York added on in the second period with a Nelson goal, his second of the game and thirty-sixth of the year, made possible by Noah Dobson and Scott Mayfield. The Canadiens got one back with a Nick Suzuki shorthanded goal, his twenty-fifth of the season, going in unassisted. The Islanders extended the lead in the third period on an Anders Lee power play goal, his twenty-eighth of the year, powered by Sebastian Aho and Dobson. The final held at 4-2, with the three stars going to Nelson, Dobson, and Lee.

Out in St. Louis, the Blues welcome the Dallas Stars. Scott Wedgewood and Joel Hofer are the backups in goal. Dallas began in the first period with a Wyatt Johnston goal, his twenty-second of the season, passed from Ryan Suter and Jamie Benn. St. Louis tied it on a Jakub Vrana power play goal, his eleventh of the year, powered by Robert Thomas and Justin Faulk. The Stars took the lead back with a Joe Pavelski goal, his twenty-eighth of the season, assisted by Miro Heiskanen and Jason Robertson.
