NHL Recaps: Oilers rout Pens, Red Wings clip Rangers, Bruins edge Kraken, and more

Ten games loaded up the Friday night schedule in the National Hockey League.

It was a wild night with four games requiring overtime to decide a winner. Both the New Jersey Devils and Vegas Golden Knights needed the extra session to solidify their standings for a playoff spot.

Meanwhile the Detroit Red Wings beat the New York Rangers to jump over the Florida Panthers for the last wild card spot in the East. Another Atlantic Division team got a hat trick from Tage Thompson as the Buffalo Sabres are just two points behind the Red Wings.

The Boston Bruins made a big trade with the Washington Capitals late yesterday to add defenseman Dmitry Orlov to their roster.
