NHL. Washington and Edmonton’s victories, Pittsburgh and Toronto’s troubles

While Carolina took the lead in the NHL Eastern Conference, Washington rose to second place by beating Toronto with a score of 4:0 today.

Defender Chikrin scored a double and goalkeeper Thompson made 22 saves to keep a clean sheet for the second time in four matches. The Capitals trail the Hurricanes by four points.

However, Toronto is still second to last in its division.

Young defenseman Hutsona’s three assists helped Montreal beat Chicago, which has lost four straight games without the injured Connor Bedard and is second-to-last in the standings.

Pittsburgh has problems. Although Sidney Crosby was two points away from becoming the most successful player in Penguin history, the team lost to Ottawa and finished second from last in the league with seven straight losses.

In the West, Colorado’s leader has two followers at a time.

Dallas beat San Jose and took second place with a difference of 4 points, while Minnesota beat Columbus and took place in the top 3 with six consecutive wins.

Edmonton’s situation is improving. The Oilers beat Boston with Connor McDavid’s short-handed goal and moved into the top 3 in the league with 7 wins in 10 games.

McDavid caught up with leader Nathan MacKinnon in the top scorer race with 58 points.
