Only two games tonight, and in a following post one baseball game as well. We begin the light slate in...
Montreal, where the Canadiens host the Tampa Bay Lightning. Sebastien Caron and Peter Budaj are in goal. Montreal opened with an Alexei Emelin goal, his third of the season, set up by David Desharnais and the goalie Budaj. Tampa Bay tied it on a Vincent Lecavalier goal, his twenty-second of the year, going in unassisted. The Canadiens got the lead back in the second period as Erik Cole notched his thirty-third of the season, helped along by Desharnais and Max Pacioretty. Montreal extended their lead with a Cole power play goal, his second of the game and thirty-fourth of the year, powered by Tomas Plekanec and Andrei Markov. The Lightning pulled back on a Bruno Gervais goal, his sixth of the season, fueled by Tim Wallace and Victor Hedman. The Canadiens shot back on a Pacioretty goal, his thirty-first of the year, coming off of Josh Gorges and Plekanec. Pacioretty later sank his second of the game and thirty-second of the season to add on for Montreal, with a lone P.K. Subban helper. The final stood here at 5-2, with the three stars being Cole, Pacioretty, and Desharnais. Plekanec gets an honorable mention.
The other game takes place in St. Louis, with the Blues hosting the Detroit Red Wings. Jimmy Howard and Brian Elliott tend the twines. St. Louis got things started in the third period with a David Perron goal, his twentieth of the season, a shorthanded and unassisted goal. The Blues added on with an unassisted Andy McDonald goal, his tenth of the year. Detroit got one back with a Johan Franzen goal, his twenty-seventh of the season, courtesy of Pavel Datsyuk and Todd Bertuzzi. The Red Wings got an equalizer as Franzen made his second of the game and twenty-eighth of the year, with the help of Datsyuk and Bertuzzi. Detroit won with a Bertuzzi shootout goal, toppling St. Louis 3-2. The three stars went to Franzen, David Backes, and Datsyuk, while Bertuzzi gets the honorable mention.
