NHL Day 21 2013-2014

There are only three games on tonight, beginning in...

Detroit, as the Red Wings host the San Jose Sharks. Antti Niemi and Jimmy Howard tend the twines. San Jose ended up winning 1-0 with a shootout tally by Logan Couture. The three stars were Niemi (24 save shutout), Howard (27 save "shutout"), and Couture.

Back east, the Pittsburgh Penguins welcome the Colorado Avalanche. Jean-Sebastien Giguere and Marc-Andre Fleury are the French-Canadian goalies. Colorado got going in the second period on a Gabriel Landeskog goal, his third of the season, assisted by Ryan Wilson and Cory Sarich. This was all they needed for a 1-0 win, with the three stars going to Giguere (34 save shutout), Landeskog, and Fleury (13 for 14 in saves).

Finally, we end in Los Angeles, as the Kings bring in the Calgary Flames. Karri Ramo and Jonathan Quick man the creases. Los Angeles began in the first period with a power play goal by Drew Doughty, his third of the season, powered by Dustin Brown and Justin Williams. Calgary tied it in the second period as Michael Cammalleri scored a power play goal, with the help of Jiri Hudler and Mark Giordano. The Flames took the lead on a Sean Monahan goal, his sixth of the year, coming on the power play from Cammalleri and Giordano. The Kings tied it with a shorthanded goal by Jeff Carter, his fifth of the season, set up by Mike Richards. Calgary took the lead late in the third period on a T.J. Brodie power play goal, assisted by Hudler and Lee Stempniak. This made it 3-2, the final, with the three stars being Cammalleri, Hudler, and Giordano.
