NHL Daily Recap – November 29, 2025
Six games on the Saturday slate delivered everything from tight overtime drama to a statement blowout and a shutout. Below is a full recap of every matchup from November 29, built for fans who want a quick but structured look at how the night unfolded across the league.
Columbus Blue Jackets 3 – 4 Pittsburgh Penguins (OT)
The night opened with the only overtime decision on the board. Pittsburgh edged Columbus 4-3 after regulation couldn’t separate the teams, securing the extra point in a divisional matchup that stayed tight from start to finish.
Columbus leaves the game with a single point from the overtime loss, while the Penguins bank two and keep themselves in the traffic jam of the Eastern Conference race.
Chicago Blackhawks 3 – 4 Nashville Predators
Nashville walked out of Chicago with a narrow 4-3 win in a game that never really opened up on the scoreboard. The Predators did just enough in the key moments to stay one step ahead.
The Blackhawks pushed to keep it close and found goals of their own, but a one-goal margin is all Nashville needed to lock down two points and keep confidence high.
Dallas Stars 4 – 3 Utah Mammoth
Dallas continued to show their ability to grind out results, beating Utah 4-3 in a one-goal game. The Stars’ top-end quality showed when it mattered, turning small windows into offense.
For Utah, it’s another night where the effort kept them in the game but the details in both zones cost them at the end. Dallas pockets another win and keeps pace in the Western logjam.
New York Rangers 1 – 4 Tampa Bay Lightning
Tampa Bay left Madison Square Garden (or New York ice) with a convincing 4-1 victory over the Rangers. The Lightning controlled the scoreboard, keeping New York to a single goal while finding enough offense to pull away.
The Rangers struggled to generate the kind of sustained push they usually rely on at home, while Tampa’s execution in all three zones looked playoff-sharp for most of the night.
Colorado Avalanche 7 – 2 Montreal Canadiens
The most lopsided scoreline of the night came in Denver, where Colorado dismantled Montreal 7-2. The Avalanche attack rolled four lines and kept pressure on from the opening shifts, turning the game into a long chase for the Canadiens.
Montreal simply couldn’t keep up with Colorado’s pace and depth. For the Avs, this is the kind of statement win that reinforces their status as one of the most dangerous offensive teams in the league.
Seattle Kraken 0 – 4 Edmonton Oilers
Edmonton closed the night by delivering the only shutout of the slate, blanking Seattle 4-0. The Oilers got what they needed in net and were efficient offensively, turning their chances into goals and never really letting the Kraken back into it.
Seattle couldn’t break through and spent too much time chasing the game. Edmonton walks away with a clean sheet, four goals on the board and a solid boost of confidence.
