Travis Konecny’s short-handed goal in the early third period propelled the Philadelphia Flyers to a 3-2 victory over the Calgary Flames, putting an end to the Flyers’ four-game NHL losing streak. Konecny, Philadelphia’s All-Star representative, showcased his prowess by scoring his NHL-leading fifth short-handed goal and his 21st overall of the season. The Flyers had been struggling, having lost six of their last seven games, making this win a crucial one. Morgan Frost contributed with a goal and an assist, while Sean Couturier also found the net, and Carter Hart made 22 saves.

In another NHL matchup, the Edmonton Oilers extended their winning streak to seven games with a 3-1 victory over the Ottawa Senators. Zach Hyman recorded his third hat trick of the season and fourth in his NHL career, securing the win for the Oilers. Edmonton’s goaltender Stuart Skinner made 29 saves, maintaining the team’s impressive 15-3-0 record in their last 18 games after a slow start to the season. Evan Bouchard provided three assists, and head coach Kris Knoblauch achieved a historic feat as the first coach in NHL history with two seven-game winning streaks in his first 25 games.

Parker Kelly scored for the Ottawa Senators, but it wasn’t enough to overcome the Oilers’ dominance. Anton Forsberg made 43 saves for the Senators, who have now suffered three consecutive losses and four defeats in their last five games. The Oilers’ victory solidified their position as a formidable force in the NHL, marking a remarkable turnaround from their early struggles in the season with a 5-12-1 record.
