Through the remainder of the regular season, we'll take a look at how the night's action impacts the playoff races, while highlighting which teams' postseason odds went up or down significantly.

Western Conference

The Anaheim Ducks suffered an embarrassing loss at the hands of the bottom-feeding Canucks, putting their playoff chances in doubt.

Meanwhile, the St. Louis Blues stayed hot with a massive victory - their sixth in a row - over the Sharks, snapping San Jose's eight-game winning streak in the process. The Blues now hold the first wild-card spot in the West.

Eastern Conference

In the East, the Devils walked away with a crucial victory over the Hurricanes. The Panthers now trail New Jersey by three points, but have two games in hand.

For the first 10 minutes, the Edmonton Oilers looked fantastic.

As for the remaining 50? Not so much.

On the strength of three points from captain Connor McDavid - who reached the century mark for the second consecutive season - the Oilers jumped out to a quick 3-0 lead over the visiting Columbus Blue Jackets, setting up what seemed to be a rare pleasant night at Rogers Arena.

That is, until the Jackets poured in three goals of their own in the latter portion of the opening frame, and seven unanswered overall, to take a convincing 7-3 victory.

Columbus reversed its fortunes on the strength of a hat trick from Thomas Vanek, who has 13 points in 14 games since being acquired at the trade deadline.

While there's little consequence for the Oilers losing another game, it was a massive win for the Blue Jackets, who sit just one point back of the Pittsburgh Penguins for second in the Metropolitan Division.

The St. Louis Blues won their sixth straight game Tuesday night against the Sharks, ending San Jose's eight-game winning streak in the process.

The Blues are now tied with the Winnipeg Jets for the longest active winning streak in the league.

After a dismal stretch in which they lost seven straight games during the second half of February, the Blues are now holding onto the first wild-card spot in the Western Conference, as they leapfrogged the Colorado Avalanche with Tuesday's overtime win.

Connor McDavid recorded his 100th point of the season on a first-period assist in the Oilers' game against Blue Jackets Tuesday, becoming the first player to reach the century mark in back-to-back seasons since Sidney Crosby and Alex Ovechkin did so in 2008-09 and 2009-10, per Hockey Reference.

Shortly thereafter, McDavid potted his 40th goal and 101st point of the season. He wasn't done there, though, as he added another assist in the first period just for good measure.

Referee Steve Barton was removed from the ice on a stretcher in the first period of Tuesday's contest between the Edmonton Oilers and Columbus Blue Jackets.

Barton hit his head on the ice after a collision with Connor McDavid, and was motionless before being attended to by medical staff.

There's no word on Barton's condition, though he did appear alert and gave the crowd a thumbs up before exiting the ice.

Perhaps the NHL should make the same changes to plays on the goal line as it recently implemented for goaltender interference challenges.

Early in Tuesday's game between the Winnipeg Jets and Boston Bruins, Jets winger Brandon Tanev tried to force the puck over the line as Bruins goaltender Anton Khudobin did his best to keep it out.

The on-ice official closest to the play immediately waved it off, but the one outside the zone called it a goal, so the league's Situation Room initiated a review.

After the room in Toronto ultimately ruled it a goal, it issued this explanation:

"At 5:33 of the first period in the Bruins/Jets game, the referee informed the Situation Room that Brandon Tanev's shot completely crossed the Boston goal line.

"After the Situation Room initiated a video review, it was determined there were no definitive replays to overturn the referee's call on the ice. Therefore the referee's call on the ice stands - good goal Winnipeg."

Fresh off clinching a playoff berth in their inaugural season, the Vegas Golden Knights are offering a unique plan to incentivize season-ticket holders.

The Golden Knights announced the "Knights Vow," which provides significant savings on cost and removes the option for holders to re-sell tickets through StubHub.

Should a fan choose to opt out of the program and put their tickets on the secondary market, their discount options become limited.

The Golden Knights shattered virtually every expansion record in the NHL history books in 2017-18, and sit in prime position to hold home-ice advantage in the first round of the playoffs and potentially beyond.

Great Wall, meet Great One.

Wayne Gretzky signed a lucrative deal with "hockey powers in China," TSN's Darren Dreger reports.

Gretzky's name and brand will appear on hundreds of arenas being built across the country, and the hockey luminary will be heavily involved in the development of academies and camps in China as well as an equipment line.

The 2022 Winter Olympics will be held in Beijing, and while it's unclear whether NHL players will participate, both the league and the Canadian Women's Hockey League have taken significant steps to grow the game in China.

Gretzky has gotten involved in many business ventures over the years, including acquiring ownership stakes in the then-Phoenix Coyotes and the CFL's Toronto Argonauts, owning an eponymous restaurant in downtown Toronto, and opening a winery and distillery in the Niagara region of Ontario.

Edmonton Oilers forward Ty Rattie is growing quite fond of playing on a line with Connor McDavid.

After failing to yet establish himself as an NHL regular, Rattie, 25, has found success playing on a line with McDavid and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, picking up four goals and three assists in his last six games.

This prompted Rattie to give credit where credit's due.

"You could put my dad on his line and he'd put up 100 points," he told Sportsnet's Mark Spector.

While it's a clear exaggeration, it's quite remarkable how McDavid has been able to rack up 99 points on such a poor team.

As long as Rattie can keep up his chemistry with McDavid, the former St. Louis Blues' second-round pick should have no problem finding a permanent home in Edmonton, given the team's lack of scoring talent on the wings.

The Los Angeles Kings will likely be without one of their best defensemen for at least the next seven days.

Jake Muzzin is listed as week to week with an injury the club simply described as an upper-body ailment, according to FOX Sports West's Jon Rosen.

Muzzin took a big hit from Micheal Ferland in the second period of Monday's win over the Calgary Flames. He did not return.

Muzzin has already set career highs in assists (34) and points (42) in 74 games, while averaging nearly 22 minutes of ice time.

The Kings hold the first Western Conference wild-card spot but sit only one point above the Colorado Avalanche and two points ahead of the St. Louis Blues, with more games played than both clubs.
