Only three games on tonight, beginning in...
Minnesota, as the Wild host the Toronto Maple Leafs. Jonathan Bernier and Niklas Backstrom were given the starts, but Backstrom was pulled with an injury in the first period in favor of Josh Harding. In the second period, Toronto dented the scoreboard with a Mason Raymond power play goal, his sixth of the season, powered by Morgan Rielly and Nazem Kadri. Minnesota tied it with a Zach Parise goal, his ninth of the year, coming off of Charlie Coyle and Mikko Koivu. The game was won by the Wild with Parise and Jason Pominville goals in the shootout for a 2-1 final. The three stars were Harding (19 for 20 in saves), Parise, and Bernier (33 for 34 in saves).
Back east, where the Pittsburgh Penguins welcome the Philadelphia Flyers in the Battle of Pennsylvania. Ray Emery and Marc-Andre Fleury played in the creases. Philadelphia opened in the first period with a Brayden Schenn goal, his fifth of the season, with a lone assist by Wayne Simmonds. Pittsburgh tied it in the second period on a power play goal by Sidney Crosby, his ninth of the year, powered by Evgeni Malkin and Jussi Jokinen. The Flyers took the lead back as Schenn scored his second of the game and sixth of the campaign, a power play goal coming off Steve Downie and Jakub Voracek. This made it 2-1, the final, with Schenn, Emery (30 for 31 in saves), and Crosby being the three stars.
Finally, in Edmonton, the Oilers bring in the Dallas Stars. Kari Lehtonen and Devan Dubnyk are the unappreciated goalies. Dallas started in the first period as Rich Peverley scored his fourth of the season, thanks to Jordie Benn and Antoine Roussel. The Stars added on as Tyler Seguin scored his eighth of the year, an unassisted empty net goal. Dallas iced it at 3-0 with a Roussel empty net goal, his second of the campaign, set up by Trevor Daley and the goalie Lehtonen. Lehtonen (22 save shutout), Roussel, and Peverley were the three stars.
