Top-5: MacKinnon breaks a Peter Stastny record with his 140th point of the season

The other day was the last day of the routine season.

6 NHL video games were on the schedule …

And without more ado, let’s have a look at what stood out in all 4 corners of the league:

1: Nathan MacKinnon makes Avalanche history

Nathan MacKinnon is having a dream season.

The Avalanche forward had the chance to make franchise history … which’s precisely what he did.

MacKinnon got 2 helps in his group’s 5-1 win over the Oilers to surpass Peter Stastny as the gamer with the most points (140) in a single season with the Avalanche/Nordiques.

He was dominant this season:

MacKinnon completes the project with an outstanding 141 points.

I can’t wait to see if he can maintain the speed in the playoffs.

2: The Art Ross Trophy goes to Nikita Kucherov

Nathan MacKinnon had an excellent season …

And the very same should be stated of Nikita Kucherov.

Not just did the Lightning forward reach the 100-assist plateau this season previously today … But after the other day’s video games, no gamer has actually exceeded him in the NHL’s all-time scoring charts.

Kucherov for that reason goes home with the Art Ross Trophy, granted every year to the league’s leading scorer.

The Russian completed the season with 44 objectives and 100 helps (144 points):

3: A very first point in his very first video game for Cutter Gauthier

Cutter Gauthier was playing his really first NHL video game with the Anaheim Ducks.

And the Ducks’ questionable possibility succeeded in his club’s 4-1 triumph over the Vegas Golden Knights.

He helped on Jackson LaCombe’s objective for his very first big-league point:

Cutter Gauthier’s efficiency will definitely be kept in mind …

The genuine story of the video game is Frank Vatrano.

The Ducks’ sniper made the most of the reality that the group was playing the last video game of its season to score 3 objectives and complete the project with a great haul of 37 objectives.

Now it’ll be intriguing to see if he can maintain the rate next season:

What an impressive season it’s been for Frank Vatrano.

With a hatty tonight, he completes the year with a career-high 37 objectives!

4: Kirill Kaprizov is unstoppable

It’s a good idea the Wild will not remain in the playoffs for the other groups in the West …

Due to the fact that for the last 21 video games, Kirill Kaprizov has actually been merely unstoppable.

The Wild lost 4-3 to the Kraken, however Kaprizov scored his 20th objective in his last 21 video games:

Kaprizov began the season gradually … But for the previous forty video games, he’s been merely dominant.

With the other day’s objective, he ended up the season with 45 objectives and 50 helps (95 points), his second-highest single-season point overall of his profession.

The Wild should develop around him.

5: Boston vs. Toronto (LPHF) video game over

I do not understand what the women consumed before last night’s video game …

Gamers from both groups (Boston and Toronto) were starving on the ice. Specifically after the video game!

At the last whistle, there was a little melee in between the 2 clubs:

It’s great for the program since it develops competitions on the ice, which’s what’s going to assist the league draw in a lot more fans.

It’s worth keeping in mind that the Boston group needed to win the video game, as they are 2 points behind Ottawa and in 4th location in the standings, the last playoff area in the LPHF.

They did simply that, beating Toronto 2-1.

Overtime

— It’s going to be hot in the West!

— A very first profession video game for Bra Lambert and Nikita Chibrikov.

The future is here.
