Zadina has been out for Detroit since Nov. 5 when he broke his leg while blocking a shot against the New York Islanders. In the lineup, in which Dominik Kubalík was missing, he took a place in the fourth formation and played less than nine minutes. Even so, he became the first star of the match when he exchanged the puck with Oskar Sundqvist in a two-on-one renumbering and finished the whole action into an open goal.
Calgary outshot Detroit 36-17 and put their activity to good use in the 39th minute with a leadoff goal by Blake Coleman. Even before going to the cabins, however, Dylan Larkin equalized, who got behind the defense and beat Vladař with a shot over the catcher. The Czech goalkeeper caught 15 shots in the match and lost the opportunity to set a club record for the number of consecutive matches in which he led the team to at least a point. His streak ended at number thirteen.
New Jersey trailed starting in the 35th minute with Adam Larsson's layup from the blue line, but tied the score in 24 seconds. Palat passed in a power play from the right side to Dougie Hamilton, who made a cannonball from behind the circle. Both repeated their cooperation in the 50th minute in another numerical advantage and the goal was scored in a similar manner. John Marino sealed the win with Seattle playing without a goaltender. MacKenzie Blackwood, who caught 33 shots, was declared the best player of the match. Vítek Vaněček covered his back.
Florida beat San Jose 4-1 on their ice. The home team was losing from the sixth minute with a goal from Alexander Barabanov, but in the middle part they turned the game around with two goals from Sam Reinhart. Eric Staal secured the win with two shots into an empty net. Visiting striker Tomáš Hertl was on the ice for all four conceded goals. In the winner's jersey, Radko Gudas scored seven hits, the most of any player in the match.
