Another week is in the books in the NHL, and quite a bit of action took place. Fortunately, we've got you covered with the weekly NHL Rewind to catch you up.

One of the biggest stories across the NHL saw defenseman Torey Krug tally a five-assist performance, helping the St. Louis Blues defeat the Montreal Canadiens 7-2 on Sunday. The Blues were victorious for the seventh time in their last eight games, maintaining their Wild Card playoff spot.

Meanwhile, the Ottawa Senators came away with a 5-3 upset win against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday. Late in the third period, the Senators scored an empty-net goal via a slap shot from center Ridly Greig in close, but Maple Leafs defenseman Morgan Rielly took exception and checked Greig following the goal. A postgame brawl ensued as a result.

Let's take a closer look at some of the biggest stories and highlights from the week that was in the NHL.
