Only four games tonight, beginning in...
Ottawa, as the Senators host the Minnesota Wild. Josh Harding and Craig Anderson are in the blue paint. Ottawa started with a Kyle Turris shorthanded goal, his sixth of the season, set up by Clarke MacArthur. Minnesota tied it on a Jason Pominville power play goal, his thirteenth of the year, powered by Zach Parise and Mikko Koivu. The Senators retook the lead with a Mika Zibanejad goal, his fifth of the season, guided in by Derek Grant and Erik Condra. The Wild tied it again in the second period with a Jonas Brodin goal, his fourth of the year, coming off of Dany Heatley and Justin Fontaine. Minnesota took the lead as Heatley scored his fourth of the season, thanks to Koivu and Brodin. Ottawa retied it in the third period on a Milan Michalek power play goal, his fourth of the year, passed from Zibanejad and Erik Karlsson. The Wild took the lead back as Koivu scored his fifth of the campaign, with the help of Parise and Charlie Coyle. This was good for a 4-3 win, with Koivu, Brodin, and Heatley getting the three stars, while Zibanejad and Parise got the honorable mentions.
From Canada's capital to America's, as the Washington Capitals welcome the Pittsburgh Penguins. Marc-Andre Fleury and Braden Holtby are the masked men. Pittsburgh was first to score in the first period as Paul Martin scored his second of the season, thanks to Sidney Crosby. The Penguins added on with a Beau Bennett goal, fueled by Evgeni Malkin and Matt Niskanen. Pittsburgh extended the lead as Crosby scored his eleventh of the year, a power play goal powered by James Neal and Chris Kunitz. The Penguins padded the lead in the third period as Neal scored his second of the season, with the help of Martin and Malkin. They went on to win 4-0, with Fleury (18 save shutout), Martin, and Crosby getting the three stars while Neal and Malkin get the honorable mentions.
Way out west, the Calgary Flames bring in the Columbus Blue Jackets. Sergei Bobrovsky faces a lesser foe in Reto Berra in goal. Columbus struck first in the first period as Nick Foligno scored his fifth of the season, assisted by R.J. Umberger and Nikita Nikitin. Calgary tied it in the third period as Joe Colborne scored his second of the year, with helpers provided by David Jones and Kris Russell. The Blue Jackets won 2-1 with a Nikitin goal in overtime, fueled by David Savard and Cam Atkinson. Nikitin, Bobrovsky (23 for 24 in saves), and Foligno got the three stars.
Finally, down in Anaheim, the Ducks host the New Jersey Devils. Martin Brodeur and Jonas Hiller are the veteran goalies. Anaheim opened in the first period as Matt Beleskey scored, via Hampus Lindholm and Kyle Palmieri. New Jersey tied it with a Marek Zidlicky power play goal, his third of the season, powered by Patrik Elias and Eric Gelinas. The Devils added on as Gelinas scored his second of the year, thanks to Adam Henrique and Elias on the power play. The Ducks retied it in the second period on a Nick Bonino power play goal, his sixth of the season, coming off of Dustin Penner and Cam Fowler. Anaheim took the lead when Ryan Getzlaf potted his twelfth of the year, via Penner and Bonino on the power play. New Jersey retied it in the third period as Jaromir Jagr scored his eighth of the season, assisted by Elias, who got a sock trick, and Dainius Zubrus. The Devils won 4-3 in overtime with an unassisted goal by Travis Zajac, his third of the year. The three stars were Elias, Gelinas, Bonino, while Penner gets an honorable mention.
