Both night games ended with the home team winning. Ottawa handled Washington without any problems in front of their fans, and Detroit pulled out a win over Pittsburgh.

Absolutely unequivocal match. The Senators were the better team in this game, capitalizing on their chances and cruising to a commanding 6-1 victory. In particular, Josh Norris, who returned from injury to the Senators lineup, played a great duel and managed to score twice.

DETROIT RED WINGS – PITTSBURGH PENGUINS

6:3 (1:1, 3:0, 2:2)

Detroit is in very good form at the start of the new year and currently has three wins in a row. Today’s success was decided by the Red Wings mainly in the second period, in which they managed to get a three-goal lead, which later turned out to be crucial. The Penguins subsequently reduced the difference to only one goal and then conceded twice in a game without a goalkeeper. Alex DeBrincat scored twice in this game.
