Winnipeg Jets 4-2 New Jersey Devils
The Winnipeg Jets (8-8-3) have been red-hot in recent times, but on Tuesday they had much more on their mind, as the New Jersey Devils (13-6-0) and a returning Connor Hellebuyck took the ice in Winnipeg. However, Hellebuyck wasn't on the ice when the game begin, but that didn't stop the pre-game boos from reigning down, and when things got going, it was Dawson Mercer, a player the Jets got in the deal that started the scoring.
From there, the Devils managed to tie it up at 2-2, but it was Mercer again that gave Winnipeg the lead in the third period, with Kyle Connor also netting two goals as the Jets came away victorious 4-2 on an emotional night that saw Nico Daws stop 19 of the 21 shots that he faced.
Colorado Avalanche 6-3 Toronto Maple Leafs
The Toronto Maple Leafs (8-10-2) have been struggling as of late, so the last thing that this team needed was to see the Colorado Avalanche (11-6-2) coming to town, a team that's had the advantage over them in recent times. While Toronto got themselves out to the 1-0 lead, it was all Avalanche from there, with five different goal scorers, including two goals from captain Gabriel Landeskog leading a Colorado onslaught.
Toronto did have some success with Easton Cowan, Jack Roslovic and Darren Raddysh all having two points on the night, but with their struggles in net continuing, the team were thoroughly outplayed, falling 6-3 against the much better team on home ice.
Washington Capitals 3-2 Ottawa Senators
Both the Washington Capitals (10-6-0) and Ottawa Senators (11-6-2) have had plenty of success in 2026/27, and heading into their matchup on Tuesday night, this one could have absolutely gone either way. It stayed like that through 60 minutes too, as goals to Matt Roy, Ridly Grieg, Hayden Hodgson and Pierre-Luc Dubois couldn't separate these two teams, with the goaltending starring as the game went into overtime.
There, it was rising star Cole Hutson that proved the difference for the Capitals, and with Logan Thompson making 23 saves on 25 shots on the night, the Capitals picked up a critical win on the road as they look to keep pace in the Metropolitan Division.
Minnesota Wild 2-1 Montreal Canadiens
The Minnesota Wild (13-3-4) have been quietly rolling early in 2026/27, and on Tuesday they took on one of the NHL's most promising young teams in the Montreal Canadiens (11-3-4). This one was all about the goaltending matchup, and after the first three periods, the game was tied 1-1, with third period goals to Bobby Brink and Nick Suzuki seeing this matchup also go to OT.
There, it was the NHL's most prolific goalscorer this season in Kirill Kaprizov, as he once again showed how dominant he can be with the game winner as Jesper Wallstedt finished the game with 27 saves, helping the Wild to a ridiculous 8-3-2 record way from home this season.
Florida Panthers 4-1 Columbus Blue Jackets
The Florida Panthers (10-7-2) haven't been perfect in 2026/27 yet, but they've done enough to build plenty of momentum, and that continued on the road Tuesday as they took down the inconsistent Columbus Blue Jackets (7-9-0). This was a classic Panthers performance with plenty of their big names stepping up as Sam Bennett (2 goals), Anton Lundell (2 assists) and Aaron Ekblad (2 assists) all play key roles in the team cruising to the road win.
In the defeat, Columbus got a goal from Ivan Provorv, but it simply wasn't enough, a situation this team has been in too many times this season, but they peppered Jacob Markstrom who made 37 saves, leading the Panthers to a big 4-1 win to move to 6-5-2 on the road this year.
St. Louis Blues 3-2 Detroit Red Wings
The St. Louis Blues (8-8-2) have been flying under the radar early this season, but as of late they've found their groove, and on Tuesday, they had to grind to take down the battling Detroit Red Wings (7-9-3). After one period, it was an Andrew Copp goal that had Detroit ahead, but through Pius Suter, Justin Barron and Jimmy Snuggerud, the Blues peeled off three straight goals, setting them up for the 3-2 victory.
A late Moritz Seider goal wasn't enough for Detroit to get back into this one, as the Red Wings drop their fourth straight game and fifth in their last six overall games as their promising start to the season appears to be crashing and burning.
