The Washington Capitals rallied with three straight goals to take down the Florida Panthers. Meanwhile, the Nashville Predators extended their winning streak to four games as both teams took home victories in their new Hometown Remix uniforms!

Capitals 4-3 Panthers

The Washington Capitals found themselves in a 2-1 hole entering the second period thanks to a pair of goals from Brady Tkachuk (10), both assisted by his brother Matthew (20). 

But three straight goals from Alex Tuch (11), Aliaksei Protas (2), and Pierre-Luc Dubois (2) were enough to get the dub in their Hometown Remix uniforms. 

Florida outhit the Capitals a whopping 31-8, while both almost put up the same amount of shots (FLA: 31, WAS: 30). 

Washington's Tom Wilson received a five-minute major boarding and game misconduct after hitting Sandis Vilmanis.

Capitals record: 9-6-0 (W1)

Panthers record: 9-6-2 (L1)

Predators 3-1 Blues

Similar to the Caps/Panthers matchup, the Nashville Predators went down 1-0 to start the game thanks to Jimmy Snuggerud's goal. It marked his ninth of the season, thanks to Philip Broberg's and Robert Thomas's ninth assists as well.

Then the Preds went on to score three straight from Steven Stamkos (10), Ross Colton (5), and Nick Perbix (2 - EN) to keep the winning ways going in Nashville. 

They also debuted their Hometown Remix uniforms that rocked a patch honoring the late Dolly Parton. 

Predators record: 8-4-5 (W4)

Blues record: 7-8-2 (L3)

Rangers 4-3 Kraken

The New York Rangers held off a three-goal rally from the Seattle Kraken during the third period. 

They got out to a 4-0 lead after Gabe Perreault, Tye Kartye, and Pavel Dorofeyev each scored their sixth goal of the season, while teammate Jaroslav Chmelar scored his first of the season and the fifth of his career. 

Rangers' Adam Fox recorded his 20th assist of the season as he's now tied with Edmonton's Evan Bouchard and Anaheim's Leo Carlsson for the most by a defenseman (also tied third in the NHL). 

Rangers record: 10-7-1 (W3)

Kraken record: 9-6-1 (L1)

Devils 5-4 Islanders

The New Jersey Devils rallied back with three straight goals that ended with a Jack Hughes (9) overtime winner. They outshot the Islanders a jaw-dropping 50-23 for the game and put up at least 14 in each of the first three periods, holding the Islanders below 10 in each. 

New York didn't get a single shot on net during overtime as the stats get even crazier. Despite the loss, the Islanders won almost 61% of the face-offs and didn't have a single power play the entire game. 

Islanders goaltender Ilya Sorokin put up 45 saves in the game, coming up just four short of tying a career high. 

Devils record: 12-5-0 (W4)

Islanders record: 7-6-3 (L3)

Senators 4-2 Mammoth

Four of the game's six goals were scored in the final frame. Michael Amadio (6) put the Sens out in front before Barrett Hayton (2) tied it up three minutes later. 

Ottawa's Nick Cousins (2) scored the go-ahead with less than three minutes to go. Then Shane Pinto (7) sent home the empty-netter with 16 seconds to go to seal the deal for the Senators despite being outshot 32-21. 

Their three goals in the third came on just five shots on net. 

Senators record: 11-6-1 (W2)

Mammoth record: 10-7-1 (L2)

Canadiens 4-2 Maple Leafs

Alex Newhook (5) scored the game's first two goals that were followed by the Habs' third thanks to an unassisted wrister by Chris Kreider (3) in the second. 

Toronto pulled within one after William Nylander (11) and Gavin McKenna (6) scored back-to-back less than a minute apart in the third. 

But Zachary Bolduc (6) came through in the clutch on the Habs' only power play of the third to seal the game. 

Montreal have now won five straight against their Original Six rival dating back to November 22, 2025. 

Canadiens record: 11-3-3 (W2)
