The NHL has imposed a fine of $2,018.23 on Boston Bruins rookie defenseman Michael Callahan for crosschecking Anaheim Ducks forward Jansen Harkins during a recent game that ended in a 6-2 victory for the Ducks. This fine, the maximum permissible under the collective bargaining agreement, will be allocated to the Players' Emergency Assistance Fund.

The incident took place late in the second period when Callahan received a double-minor penalty for high-sticking, marking his first penalty minutes of the season. The game also featured both players receiving fighting penalties as they clashed again in the third period. Callahan, having appeared in 14 games without scoring any points, currently holds a minus-4 rating with 11 blocked shots and five hits, averaging just over 13 minutes of ice time.

Mason McTavish scored two goals for the second consecutive game, leading the Anaheim Ducks to a 5-2 victory over the Nashville Predators, ending Nashville's five-game winning streak. McTavish has found the net five times in the last three games, showcasing his offensive prowess. Teammates Jansen Harkins and Trevor Zegras contributed to the scoreline, with Zegras achieving three points in three games following a lengthy injury layoff. Pavel Mintyukov added to the tally, while Lukas Dostal made a significant impact in goal, stopping 31 shots.

The Predators saw goals from Gustav Nyquist and Ryan O'Reilly, with Filip Forsberg registering two assists and extending his point streak to ten games. Notably, Forsberg's streak ties him with teammate Jonathan Marchessault for the second-longest in franchise history along with Roman Josi and Matt Duchene's records from previous seasons. The Ducks reached the notable milestone of 20 wins in just 49 games this season, outperforming their previous year's pace by six games.

Patrick Kane shone bright for the Detroit Red Wings, scoring in a decisive 6-2 victory over the Seattle Kraken, marking the team's seventh consecutive win. The Red Wings blitzed Seattle, establishing a 4-0 lead just over seven minutes into the first period, with notable contributions from Marco Kasper, J.T. Compher, and Alex DeBrincat. The strong performance is Detroit's longest win streak since 2012.

On the Kraken side, Oliver Bjorkstrand and Matty Beniers managed to find the net, but it was a tough outing for goaltender Philipp Grubauer, who was replaced after allowing three goals early in the game.

The Anaheim Ducks triumphed over the Carolina Hurricanes with a 3-2 overtime victory, highlighted by Cutter Gauthier's two-goal performance, including the game-winner just under two minutes into overtime. This win marked a much-needed turnaround for the Ducks after a three-game skid. Jansen Harkins also contributed to the score sheet, while Lukas Dostal showcased his skills in goal, stopping 35 shots.

Despite the loss, the Hurricanes displayed offensive pressure, particularly with Andrei Svechnikov's power-play goal and Seth Jarvis’s last-minute equalizer. Carolina's Pyotr Kochetkov managed 17 saves in a game where they heavily outshot the Ducks yet failed to capitalize on their chances.

The Seattle Kraken faced off against the Anaheim Ducks in a tense home-and-home series marked by physical play and confrontations. The Kraken managed to win the first game 3-2, but the second game saw them overwhelmed, losing 5-2. A key moment involved Tye Kartye injuring Ducks forward Leo Carlsson, which escalated tensions.

In the second game, the Ducks retaliated, targeting Kraken players including Kartye and goaltender Joey Daccord. The Kraken's failure to respond to aggressive plays raised concerns about their toughness and ability to protect teammates, especially as they aim for a playoff run.
