Boston took a breather in Detroit at 0-4 for a strong finish, but ended up losing 3-5. A goal and an assist by David Pastrňák, who was named the third star of the game, or two assists by Pavel Zacha were not enough for the NHL leaders to score points.

The Czech goalkeeper made several excellent saves. At 0:0, he caught Stefan Noesen's chance in a two-on-one conversion. Just before the second shot, Sebastian Aho did not beat him from the edge of the goal area. Vaněček had the most work in the second period, in which he faced fourteen shots. He wasted Ah's biggest chance when he made a save against a shot from close range. In the 50th minute, even Jesper Fast from another break did not take the zero from him.
Vrána equalized in the 14th minute in a power play at 1:1 when he received a pass in front of the goal from the back guard and beat Patera over the rebound. The Czech debutant scored the next two goals at 1:3 at the turn of the second and third periods: Jordan Kyrou reduced the score with an unprepared shot into the open goal and Tyler Pitlick leveled the score at 3:3.
Pater's winning debut was provided by Pavel Dorofeyev, who scored the first goal in the NHL in a curious way, when the puck bounced off his helmet and into the goal. In the end, Alex Pietrangelo secured the win at the risk of St. Louis without a goalkeeper.
Arizona led 1-0 and 2-1, but Minnesota beat Vejmelka three times between the 19th and 35th minutes to make it 4-2. The Coyotes pulled one back in the second period with a Brett Ritchie hit, and Clayton Keller completed the turnaround with two hits. Barrett Hayton (2+2) also had the lion's share of the win.

Less than two minutes later, Matt Grzelcyk scored the goal of hope for the home team, assisted by Pastrňák and Zacha. In the 44th minute, Jake DeBrusk made it 2-4, and in the 47th minute, shortly after visiting Dylan Larkin hit the post in a solo escape, Pastrňák shot past Ville Huss and brought Boston within a single goal.
