Alex Ovechkin got back into the 50-goal column, Cam Atkinson matched an old Blue Jackets milestone and the Ducks made an uncharacteristic blunder. Here are a few things we learned in the NHL last night:
He also has the third-most shorthanded goals since the start of the 2016-17 season with eight, trailing Michael Grabner – who has nine – and Viktor Arvidsson who leads the way with 10.When interim head coach Bob Murray handed in his lineup card on Saturday night, he made one small error which could have been very costly. Defenceman Jake Dotchin was listed as a scratch by the Ducks instead of Troy Terry.
At 17:42 of the first period, referees skated over to the Anaheim bench to tell the coaching staff that Dotchin was ineligible to play as a result. This forced the Ducks to go with five defencemen against the Edmonton Oilers. After some investigating by the refs, Jake Dotchin, listed as a scratch on the media roster, was just removed from the Ducks bench 2:30 into the first period.
