NHL Day 62 2013-2014

Three games on today, beginning in...

Carolina, as the Hurricanes host the Vancouver Canucks. Eddie Lack and Cam Ward are in the blue paint. Vancouver led off in the first period as Ryan Kesler scored his eleventh of the season, thanks to Jason Garrison and Henrik Sedin on the power play. The Canucks added on with a Tom Sestito goal, his second of the year, guided in by Garrison and Zac Dalpe. Carolina got on the board in the second period as Jordan Staal scored his fifth of the season, fueled by Ron Hainsey and Patrick Dwyer. The Hurricanes tied it ten seconds later on a Nathan Gerbe goal, his sixth of the year, passed from Eric Staal and Justin Faulk. Vancouver quickly retook the lead with a Kesler goal, his twelfth of the campaign and second of the game, coming off of Jannik Hansen and Chris Higgins. This made it a 3-2 final, with the three stars being given to Kesler, Garrison, and Lack (29 for 31 in saves).

Up in Ottawa, the Senators welcome the Detroit Red Wings. Jonas Gustavsson and Robin Lehner are the backups making spot starts. Detroit dented the scoreboard in the second period as Johan Franzen scored his seventh of the season, fueled by Jakub Kindl and Daniel Alfredsson. The Red Wings added on as Drew Miller scored his third of the year, thanks to Tomas Tatar and Niklas Kronwall. Ottawa got on the board with a Clarke MacArthur goal, his eighth of the season, assisted by Milan Michalek and Chris Phillips. Detroit replied as Miller scored his second of the game and fourth of the year, helped along by Brendan Smith and Darren Helm. The Senators pulled back as Mika Zibanejad scored his eighth of the season, passed from Erik Karlsson and Zack Smith. The Red Wings iced it at 4-2 with an empty net goal by Alfredsson, his seventh of the year, set up by Justin Abdelkader and Kronwall. The three stars were handed to Miller, Alfredsson, and Kronwall.

The last game came from Dallas, as the Stars bring in the Edmonton Oilers. Ilya Bryzgalov and Kari Lehtonen guard the cages. Dallas began in the second period with a shorthanded and unassisted Ryan Garbutt goal, his fourth of the season. Edmonton tied it with an Ales Hemsky goal, his fifth of the year, coming off of Ryan Jones and Sam Gagner. The Stars retook the lead in the third period with a Garbutt goal, his fifth of the season and second of the game, assisted by Antoine Roussel and Vernon Fiddler. The Oilers tied it again with an Andrew Ference goal, his second of the year, with a lone assist by David Perron. In the shootout, Edmonton won the game 3-2 with goals by Jordan Eberle and Perron, topping a single goal from Rich Peverley. The three stars were Garbutt, Perron, and Ference.
