Tonight, there are just six games on, beginning in...
Raleigh, as the Carolina Hurricanes host the Los Angeles Kings. Jonathan Quick and Cam Ward are in between the pipes. Los Angeles got going in the third period on a Dwight King shorthanded goal, going in unassisted. Carolina tied it as Jeff Skinner scored, with the help of Andrej Sekera and Nathan Gerbe. The tie lasted into the shootout, where Jeff Carter sealed a 2-1 Kings victory. The three stars went to Quick (27 for 28 in saves), Ward (36 for 37 in saves), and King.
Up in Philadelphia, the Flyers welcome the Phoenix Coyotes. Thomas Greiss and Steve Mason are the replacement level goalies. Phoenix started in the first period with a Rob Klinkhammer goal, assisted by Derek Morris and Tim Kennedy. Philadelphia tied it in the second period on a Max Talbot goal, coming off of Zac Rinaldo and Sean Couturier. The Coyotes took the lead with an Oliver Ekman-Larsson power play goal, his second of the season, powered by Mike Ribeiro and Martin Hanzal. The scoring ended here, with the Coyotes winning 2-1, and Greiss (36 for 37 in saves), Ekman-Larsson, and Klinkhammer were given the three stars.
Back south, the Florida Panthers bring in the Pittsburgh Penguins. Jeff Zatkoff and Jacob Markstrom are the inexperienced goalies. Florida opened in the first period on a Brad Boyes goal, his third of the season, with a lone assist by Tomas Fleischmann. Pittsburgh tied it with an Evgeni Malkin goal, courtesy of Beau Bennett. The Panthers retook the lead on a Kris Versteeg goal, via Scott Gomez and Shawn Matthias. The Penguins retied it on the third of the year by Craig Adams, assisted by Tanner Glass and Joe Vitale. Florida took the lead again on a Jonathan Huberdeau goal, his second of the season, coming on the power play from Versteeg and Fleischmann. The Panthers added on with an Aleksander Barkov power play goal, his second of the year, going in unassisted. Pittsburgh got one back as Pascal Dupuis scored, and Sidney Crosby had the only helper. Florida shot back in the third period on a Fleischmann goal, fueled by Barkov and Boyes. The Panthers iced it at 6-3 as Boyes scored his second of the game and fourth of the campaign, with helpers provided by Barkov and Fleischmann, the latter getting a sock trick. The three stars were Fleischmann, Barkov, and Boyes, while Versteeg gets an honorable mention.
Northwest to Chicago, as the Blackhawks host the New York Islanders. Kevin Poulin and Nikolai Khabibulin are the backups making spot starts. Chicago began with a first period goal by Joakim Nordstrom, assisted by Niklas Hjalmarsson. The Blackhawks added on as Jonathan Toews scored his second of the season, courtesy of Duncan Keith and Brent Seabrook. New York got on the board when Josh Bailey scored his second of the year, with the help of Michael Grabner. The Islanders tied it when Kyle Okposo scored, with a lone assist by John Tavares. Chicago retook the lead on a second period goal by Michal Handzus, via Keith and Ben Smith. They would cruise from here to a 3-2 win, with the three stars being Keith, Handzus, and Toews.
Crossing into Canada, the Winnipeg Jets welcome the Dallas Stars. Kari Lehtonen and Ondrej Pavelec receive the starting nods. Dallas struck first in the first period on an Alex Chiasson power play goal, his third of the season, powered by Tyler Seguin and Sergei Gonchar. The Stars added on with a Seguin goal, set up by Rich Peverley and Jamie Benn. Dallas extended the lead with a Benn goal, fueled by Brendon Dillon and Seguin. The Stars padded the lead in the second period with Seguin's second of the night, a power play goal made possible by Benn and Chiasson. Lehtonen had to be relieved by Dan Ellis after turning aside 21 shots, due to an injury. Winnipeg got on the board in the third period when Blake Wheeler scored a power play goal, with the help of Dustin Byfuglien and Tobias Enstrom. They got no closer, losing 4-1, with the three stars going to Seguin, Benn, and Chiasson.
Finally, in Calgary, the Flames bring in the New Jersey Devils. Martin Brodeur faces a lesser foe in Joey MacDonald in goal. New Jersey led off with a first period goal by Adam Henrique, courtesy of Damien Brunner and Andy Greene. Calgary tied it with a second period power play goal by Dennis Wideman, powered by Mark Giordano and Jiri Hudler. The Devils took the lead back as Dainius Zubrus scored, with the help of Travis Zajac. The Flames tied it again on a Giordano power play goal, his second of the season, via Hudler and Curtis Glencross. Calgary gained the lead in the third period with a Sean Monahan goal, his fourth of the year, guided in by Sven Baertschi and Wideman. They held on for a 3-2 win, with the three stars belonging to Monahan, Wideman, and Giordano, while Hudler gets an honorable mention.
