It was a quiet night in the NHL last night.

Only three games were on the schedule.

Here are the results and highlights:

The @NHLFlames extended their winning streak to four games on Monday, while the @LAKings and @DetroitRedWings both secured road victories.

1. The Rangers Need Samuel Montembeault

The Rangers recently signed James Reimer. Yesterday, he made his first start with New York, and let's just say it didn't go well.

He faltered on the first two shots of the game.

Welcome to the Big Apple, James.

He was pulled from the game after Drew Doughty's goal.

His replacement didn't fare any better.

He, too, gave up a goal on the very first shot he faced.

New York needs Samuel Montembeault.

Could he be of interest to the Blue Shirts when he returns in about two weeks?

2. Auston Matthews' 800th point

The Leafs were in Calgary last night, and it felt like a home game for them.

Half the arena was blue.

The second star of the week, Devin Cooley, continued his hot streak.

He was once again the hero of the game. He has simply been unstoppable over the last four games.

4-0-0

Unstoppable. https://t.co/8Uhv1y9E1D
