US-American Auston Matthews scored in his seventh consecutive game in the NHL in his Toronto Maple Leafs' 6-5 loss to the New Jersey Devils, scoring his 67th and 68th goals of the season! If he scores two more goals in the remaining three games, he will become only the ninth player in NHL history to break the 70-goal mark. 

Meanwhile, Sidney Crosby provided two highlights with a goal and two assists in his Pittsburgh Penguins' 6-5 win over the Detroit Red Wings.

Crosby in the top ten in NHL history
On the one hand, he moved into the top ten in NHL history with his 1591 career point, and on the other, he marked his career assist number 1000.

In addition, the Los Angeles Kings secured a playoff berth with a 4-1 win over the Calgary Flames.
