NHL Day 98 2011-2012

Just two games on again, beginning with the Washington Capitals hosting the Pittsburgh Penguins. Marc-Andre Fleury and Tomas Vokoun get the starting nods. Washington was first to score as Jason Chimera converted his fourteenth of the season, assisted by Jeff Halpern and Joel Ward. This was it for scoring, giving the three stars out to Vokoun (30 save shutout), Fleury (20 for 21 in saves), and Chimera.

The last game of the day is in Edmonton, with the Oilers hosting the New Jersey Devils. Johan Hedberg and Nikolai Khabibulin were in goal. New Jersey drew first blood with a second period shorthanded Ilya Kovalchuk goal, his seventeenth of the season, going down unassisted. Edmonton tied it in the third period with an Ales Hemsky power play goal, his fourth of the year, powered by Corey Potter and Taylor Hall. The game was decided in overtime with Zach Parise netting his fifteenth of the campaign on the power play, via Patrik Elias and Kovalchuk. The three stars were Hall, Kovalchuk, and Parise.
