Oliver Kapanen, the last pick of the 2nd round (#64) by the Habs in 2021 (#36 Shai Buium and #70 Carter Mazur's draft) scored the winner in the shootout tonight to get Montreal to 100 points on the season. He has 22G 15A 37Pts in 76 games, most goals by the rookie in the NHL this year.

Wings, Sens, Jackets and Isles all lose in regulation. Philly is off today. Suddenly it’s a turtle race.

And even more specific, outside of top 6 overall picks in round one … Apart from Finnie (and the departed Soderblom), the only pick to have really outperformed his draft position is Seider at #6. Raymond and Edvinsson are both good picks but not much better if at all than what you’d expect from #4 and #6 overall. I think ASP still has potential to outperform #17 overall. Apart from that, jury is out to say the least. Cossa (#15, 2021j is being passed, not only by Wallstedt but Montreal’s duo of Dobes (5th round, 2020) and Fowler (3rd round, 2023) and Toronto’s Hildeby (4th round, 2022).

Yes, Owen Tippett of the Flyers had one against the Wings last Saturday.

I was only listening on the radio but here is the video which you have already seen.

Guess which team now has the longest playoff drought?

Perron finally gets his first point, a goal, since being acquired by the Wongs at the deadline, lol.

Mighty Gabe Perreault with the natural hat trick. He was drafted #23 in the 2023 draft in which Danielson was drafted #9.

The Wings have won two straight only once since January 19.

3-0. That should do it.

Within the Wings’ past 6 games, there have been four stinkers in which they fell behind Ottawa 3-0 at home, fell behind Philly 4-0 at home, fell behind Pittsburgh 3-0 and have fallen behind the East’ bottom-dwelling NYR 2-0.

Pathetic. NYR makes it 2-0, making it look easy.

Second Wings powerplay of the game, so far as ineffective as the first one.

ABC crew making much of the fact, for good reason, that the Wings are 30th in 5 on 5 goals. NYR looks like a bigger threat to make it 2-0 than for the Wings to tie it 1-1.

Jack keeps his no-hitter and shutout intact through 2 innings.
