Today, there are only three games on, beginning in...
Boston with a holiday matinee, as the Bruins bring in the Detroit Red Wings in the afternoon. Jonas Gustavsson is mismatched with Tuukka Rask in goal. Detroit began in the first period with a Henrik Zetterberg goal, his fifth of the season, assisted by Pavel Datsyuk. Boston tied it as Loui Eriksson scored his second of the year, with the help of Johnny Boychuk and Reilly Smith. The Red Wings retook the lead on a second period goal by Stephen Weiss, his second of the season, passed from Johan Franzen and Brian Lashoff. Detroit extended the lead with Daniel Cleary's goal, courtesy of Daniel Alfredsson and Joakim Andersson. The Bruins pulled back in the third period on a Milan Lucic goal, his third of the year, made possible by Dennis Seidenberg and David Krejci. This wasn't enough to tie the game, and they fell 3-2, with the three stars going to Gustavsson (28 for 30 in saves), Cleary, and Zetterberg.
Over in Washington, the Capitals host the Edmonton Oilers. Jason LaBarbera and Braden Holtby get the stating nods. Edmonton led off in the first period with Boyd Gordon's fourth of the season, assisted by Justin Schultz. Washington tied it as Brooks Laich scored, thanks to Steve Oleksy. The Capitals took the lead on a second period goal by Joel Ward, a power play goal powered by Nicklas Backstrom and Alex Ovechkin. Washington added on as Ovechkin scored his sixth of the year, courtesy of Marcus Johansson and Backstrom. The Capitals extended the lead with a Troy Brouwer power play goal, set up by Mikhail Grabovski and Backstrom, the latter getting a sock trick. The Oilers got one back in the third period as Will Acton scored, with assists provided by Jeff Petry and David Perron. The final was 4-2, with the three stars going to Backstrom, Ovechkin, and Holtby (28 for 30 in saves).
