David Pastrnak chose the best time to end his wicked cold streak.

The Boston Bruins winger pocketed the overtime winner over the Detroit Red Wings on Tuesday, as the Bruins came away with the 3-2 victory and Pastrnak secured his first goal in 18 games.

Pastrnak had not scored since returning from a two-game absence in mid-December, when he missed a pair of games with an elbow injury. His last tally came Dec. 14 versus the Pittsburgh Penguins, which capped a streak of six goals in as many games.

With Tuesday's tally, Pastrnak pushed his total to 20 goals on the season.

Your starting goaltender for the St. Louis Blues is ... Carter Hutton?

Facing the Pittsburgh Penguins on Tuesday, the Blues once again called on Hutton, who turned aside 34 shots for his second shutout in his past five outings.

Hutton has been the go-to goalie for bench boss Ken Hitchcock, with starter Jake Allen struggling to stop the puck. The situation became foggier over the weekend, when Allen didn't travel with the team, which called on farmhand netminder Pheonix Copley to face the Winnipeg Jets.

Copley allowed five tallies on 29 shots in a losing effort. Hutton, meanwhile, has appeared in all but three of the Blues' January games, posting a 4-2-0 record.

General manager Doug Armstrong insisted Allen remains the franchise's goaltender of the future, despite the fact that he has been pulled in his last three games, including twice versus the Washington Capitals on Thursday.

Prior to Tuesday's match, the Blues announced that Allen would get the call in the team's final match prior to the All-Star break, when St. Louis faces the Minnesota Wild.

But could that change anything after Hutton shut the door on the defending Stanley Cup champions? That's up to coach Hitchcock.

Follow the puck.

Jonathan Toews picked up right where he left off Sunday night, finishing off a pretty passing play with Richard Panik and Ryan Hartman to give his club a 1-0 lead over the Tampa Bay Lightning.

The goal was Toews ninth of the season and comes after the Blackhawks captain put up four points against the Vancouver Canucks on Sunday night. Toews wasn't done there as he would pick up a helper on Duncan Keith's second period tally.

The Ottawa Senators inducted former general manager, coach, and current senior hockey advisor Bryan Murray into the Ring of Honour Tuesday night.

The cub recognized the man, who prior to this season, had served as the club's general manager since 2007, with a video tribute before the Sens' game against the Washington Capitals.

Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin also presented Murray with a Capitals jersey with the No. 343 prior to puck drop, representing the number of wins Murray accumulated as head coach of the Capitals between 1981 and 1990.

In all Murray sits 11th on the all-time coach's win list and becomes the first member of the Senators' Ring of Honour.

Despite his 2014 diagnosis of Stage 4 colon cancer, Murray remains an integral part of the organization - one he plans on finishing his career with.

"To finish my career in Ottawa and receive this recognition is certainly another career highlight," Murray said in a speech to the crowd. "Thank you."

Bet on the Golden Knights hiring a bench boss before season's end.

The Vegas club, which will join the NHL next season as the newest expansion team, originally planned to hire its first coach in the late spring, but that date has been moved up, reports Steve Carp of the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

According to Carp, the Golden Knights could be interested in Gerard Gallant, who was fired earlier this season by the Florida Panthers.

However, Vegas could have competition for Gallant, with the New York Islanders also looking for a new coach following the firing of Jack Capuano. Gallant previously served as an assistant with the Islanders from 2007-09.

Sometimes a change of scenery is the easiest solution.

That appears to the be the case with Detroit Red Wings forward Tomas Jurco, as Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reports that the Slovak winger wants to move on from Detroit, with the team working to accommodate that request.

Jurco has appeared in 11 games with the Red Wings this season but has not recorded any points. He scored six points in 44 games with Detroit last season, and tallied nine points through five contests with Grand Rapids, the Red Wings' AHL affiliate.

A one-time second round pick, Jurco was drafted with high acclaim, but hasn't met those expectations through his early goings in the NHL. In the end, a clean slate could be the perfect scenario for both sides.

The price for Martin Hanzal appears to have been named.

As one of only a few sellers heading toward the March 1 trade deadline, the Arizona Coyotes are looking to move the center, and if the Montreal Canadiens, who are among the interested suitors, want to get their hands on the Czech center, they'll need to pay up.

According to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman, the two sides have discussed a trade, and Arizona's asking price is believed to include Canadiens forward Michael McCarron, a first-round pick, and another conditional pick.

Two possible conditions of that pick include how far the Canadiens advance in the playoffs, or if Montreal re-signs Hanzal, a pending unrestricted free agent.

Hanzal has appeared in 39 games with the Coyotes this season, tallying 10 goals and eight assists, and is a desirable asset given his big presence up the middle.

As for McCarron, the 21-year-old is currently in the AHL, but has spent time with the Canadiens this season, recording a goal and three assists through 15 contests.
