Another thrilling shootout capped off the season series between the Blackhawks and Penguins, Alex Ovechkin continued his run of success at the Honda Center and the Blues' Brian Elliot stole the show in Florida.
Here are three stories from Sunday's NHL games:
Again to the shootout
It was the second time this year that the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Chicago Blackhawks had to settle a game with a shootout.
Like last time, Chicago came away with the two points. The Blackhawks' 2-1 win completed a season sweep against the Penguins.
Despite the low-scoring affair, each goalie faced over 30 shots and kept the game interesting into the shootout. All but one attempt was successful, as Kris Letang failed to put his shot past Corey Crawford.
Take particular notice of Patrick Kane's beautiful goal, as well as Patrick Sharp's game-ending shot that resulted in a rather angry Marc-Andre Fleury.
Still perfect in Anaheim
Washington Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin has had a very strong run at the Honda Center in Anaheim. The 29-year-old improved his record in that arena to 5-0-0 with a 5-3 win over the Ducks.
Many will recall that it was at the Honda Center on Jan. 13, 2006 that Ovechkin scored his first NHL hat trick in his rookie season.
He continued his scoring proficiency with two goals and assists on both of Andre Burakovsky's markers for a four-point game. With his two-goal night, Ovechkin earned his 36th of the season, surpassing Rick Nash for the lead in the goal-scoring race.
Oh no, you don't
The St. Louis Blues and the Florida Panthers also had to go to the shootout to decide their Sunday night match. The Blues' eventual victory was thanks in part to goaltender Brian Elliot's efforts.
While facing 41 shots for the night, the 29-year-old robbed Panthers forward Aleksander Barkov of a third period goal with a diving glove save.
The Blues earned the extra point after going five rounds for 2-1 shootout win.
