NHL NIGHT IN REVIEW: February 20th, 2023

The National Hockey League celebrated President’s Day in the United States and Family Day in parts of Canada with most of the Monday slate coming in the afternoon.

The Boston Bruins pick up their fourth consecutive victory with a 3-1 home matinee win over the Ottawa Senators. Forward David Pastrnak now sits with 41 goals on the season after scoring a pair in the contest. Winger Jake DeBrusk scored his second goal since returning to the lineup after recovering from a small fracture in his fibula and defenseman Charlie McAvoy notched three assists. Goalie Linus Ullmark continues his hot run, making 30 saves on 31 shots faced for his 29th victory of the season. With the regulation loss, Ottawa had their four-game point streak snapped, while Boston picked up their first win against the Senators in three meetings.

Goaltender James Reimer picked up just his forth home victory with a 42-save shutout performance as the San Jose Sharks beat the Seattle Kraken 4-0 as +130 underdogs. It’s just the sixth win at SAP Arena for the Sharks, who snapped a three-game losing streak. Forwards Logan Couture and Evgeny Svechnikov each had a goal along with an assist, while Michael Eyssimont, who moved up to the top line to fill Timo Meier’s spot, who is day-to-day with a lower body injury, scored his fourth goal of the season late in the contest.

The New York Islanders pick up just their second victory in the last six games as they beat the Pittsburgh Penguins 4-2, beating the club for the second time in the last four days. Forward Brock Nelson scored a pair of goals while Bo Horvat scored a goal and notched an assist. Goalie Ilya Sorokin picked up his 19th victory of the season with a superb game, making 45 saves on 47 shots faced.

They will have a couple days off before they prepare to host the Edmonton Oilers on Thursday night in Pittsburgh.

Forward Mark Scheifele scored two goals while Kyle Connor scored a goal and notched two assists as the Winnipeg Jets head to Madison Square Garden and beat the New York Rangers 4-1 on the second night of a back-to-back for the Jets.
