Only two games of hockey tonight. The numbers in games won't be this low again until just before the all-star break. First...
The Florida Panthers host the Vancouver Canucks. Roberto Luongo and Scott Clemmensen get the starts. Dale Weise put Vancouver ahead first with his third of the season, and Manny Malhotra had the lone assist. Florida tied it with a Dmitry Kulikov goal in the second period, his fourth of the year set up by Marcel Goc and Shawn Matthias. The Panthers took the lead with a Goc goal, his fourth of the season coming on the power play via Kris Versteeg and Mikael Samuelsson. The third period was silent, leaving the final at 2-1, and the three stars went to Clemmensen (25 for 26 in saves), Goc, and Kulikov.
Across the southern United States, the Los Angeles Kings welcome the Washington Capitals. Tomas Vokoun and Jonathan Bernier are the masked men. Washington was first to score with a Marcus Johansson goal, eighth of the season, assisted by Mike Knuble. Los Angeles tied it with a Kyle Clifford goal, his second of the year, thanks to Trent Hunter and Willie Mitchell. The Kings gained the lead with an Anze Kopitar goal, his twelfth of the season, made possible by Dustin Brown. Los Angeles added on in the second period with Jack Johnson registering his sixth of the year, and Clifford and Hunter had the helpers. The Kings rolled on with a Jarret Stoll goal, his fifth of the season, going down via Dustin Penner and Mike Richards. Michal Neuvirth relieved Vokoun for the third period. Los Angeles extended the lead again in the third period when Justin Williams put away his seventh of the campaign, a power play goal, powered by Drew Doughty and Johnson. The Capitals pulled as close as 5-2 when Johansson made his second of the game and ninth of the year, courtesy of Roman Hamrlik and Alexander Semin. The three stars were Clifford, Johansson, and Hunter, while Johnson gets an honorable mention.
