Six games on today as the long weekend is winding down. We begin with a matinee in...
Ottawa, as the Senators host the Columbus Blue Jackets. Sergei Bobrovsky and Craig Anderson are the masked men. Columbus led off with a Ryan Johansen power play goal in the first period, his sixth of the season, powered by Ryan Murray and James Wisniewski. The Blue Jackets added on in the second period as R.J. Umberger scored his fifth of the year, a power play goal coming off of Johansen and Fedor Tyutin. Columbus extended the lead as Tyutin scored his second of the season, a power play goal made possible by Nick Foligno. The Blue Jackets padded the lead on a third period Derek MacKenzie goal, his second of the year, passed from Mark Letestu and Blake Comeau. Ottawa got on the board with a power play goal from Erik Karlsson, his seventh of the campaign, with assists provided by Chris Phillips and Milan Michalek. This only made it 4-1, the final, with Johansen, Tyutin, and Bobrovsky (29 for 30 in saves) getting the three stars.
Down in DC, the Washington Capitals welcome the St. Louis Blues. Jaroslav Halak and Braden Holtby tend the twines. Washington started in the first period as Alex Ovechkin scored his sixteenth of the season, assisted by Nicklas Backstrom and Steve Oleksy. The Capitals added on as Ovechkin scored his second of the game and seventeenth of the year, fueled by Karl Alzner and Backstrom. Washington extended the lead on a Mikhail Grabovski goal, his seventh of the season, via Jason Chimera and Joel Ward. St. Louis got on the board in the second period as Vladimir Sobotka scored a power play goal, his third of the year, powered by Kevin Shattenkirk and Jay Bouwmeester. The Capitals replied with a power play goal by John Carlson, his fifth of the campaign, coming off of Backstrom, who got a sock trick, and Marcus Johansson. This was it for the scoring, resulting in a 4-1 final, with the three stars being awarded to Holtby (46 for 47 in saves), Ovechkin, and Backstrom.
Over in New York, the Rangers bring in the Los Angeles Kings. Ben Scrivens is mismatched with Henrik Lundqvist in goal. Los Angeles got going in the second period as Tyler Toffoli scored his fourth of the season, with the help of Mike Richards and Slava Voynov. This was the only goal in the game, with the Kings winning 1-0. The three stars were Scrivens (37 save shutout), Toffoli, and Lundqvist (29 for 30 in saves).
To the west, the Chicago Blackhawks host the San Jose Sharks. Antti Niemi and Corey Crawford guard the cages. Chicago opened in the first period with a Brandon Pirri goal, his sixth of the season, assisted by Patrick Kane and Kris Versteeg. San Jose tied it in the second period as Joe Pavelski scored his eighth of the year, thanks to Tyler Kennedy and Justin Braun. The Blackhawks took the lead back as Patrick Sharp found twine with his sixth of the season, passed from Marcus Kruger and Brandon Saad. Chicago added on in the third period with a Jonathan Toews goal, his tenth of the year, courtesy of Ben Smith and Sharp. The Blackhawks extended the lead on a Versteeg goal, his third of the season, made possible by Saad and Pirri. Chicago iced it at 5-1 as Sharp scored his second of the game and seventh of the year on a penalty shot he received after being hooked by Marc-Edouard Vlasic. The three stars were Sharp, Pirri, and Versteeg, while Saad and Crawford (23 for 24 in saves) get the honorable mentions.
North to Minnesota, where the Wild welcome the Winnipeg Jets. Ondrej Pavelec and Josh Harding are in the blue paint. Minnesota began in the first period on a Mikko Koivu goal, his third of the season, coming off of Zach Parise and Marco Scandella. Winnipeg tied it in the third period as Dustin Byfuglien scored his fourth of the year, via Bryan Little and Blake Wheeler. The Wild took the lead back as Koivu scored his second of the game and fourth of the campaign, with the help of Charlie Coyle and Ryan Suter. This was good for a 2-1 win, with the three stars being named as Koivu, Harding (21 for 22 in saves), and Byfuglien.
Way to the west, we end in Vancouver, where the Canucks bring in the Dallas Stars. Kari Lehtonen and Roberto Luongo protect the nets. Dallas struck first in the first period with a Valeri Nichushkin goal, his second of the season, assisted by Tyler Seguin and Jamie Benn. The Stars added on in the third period with an Erik Cole goal, his second of the year, thanks to Cody Eakin and Alex Chiasson.
