Tonight, we have four games on, beginning in...
Ottawa, as the Senators host the Philadelphia Flyers. Steve Mason and Craig Anderson receive the starting nods. Philadelphia was first to score in the first period with a Michael Raffl goal, assisted by Wayne Simmonds and Luke Schenn. Ottawa tied it with a Clarke MacArthur goal, his tenth of the season, fueled by Jason Spezza and Jared Cowen. The Senators took the lead with a Patrick Wiercioch power play goal in the second period, his second of the year, powered by Bobby Ryan and Spezza. The Flyers retied it on a power play goal by Jakub Voracek, his fourth of the season, thanks to Kimmo Timonen and Scott Hartnell. Philadelphia pulled ahead with a Schenn goal, his second of the year, made possible by Raffl and Simmonds. Ottawa retied it in the third period as MacArthur scored his second of the game and eleventh of the season, with the help of Ryan and Erik Karlsson. The Senators took the lead again on a Kyle Turris goal, his seventh of the year, an unassisted goal. The Flyers evened it on a Timonen goal, his second of the season, coming off of Sean Couturier. In the shootout, Ottawa won with a lone tally by Spezza for a 5-4 victory. The three stars were Spezza, MacArthur, and Timonen, while Ryan, Schenn, Raffl, and Simmonds get the honorable mentions.
Down in Pittsburgh, the Penguins welcome the Columbus Blue Jackets. Curtis McElhinney is mismatched with Marc-Andre Fleury in goal. Pittsburgh got going in the second period with an Evgeni Malkin goal, his eighth of the season, passed from Jussi Jokinen and Deryk Engelland. The Penguins added on when Sidney Crosby scored his sixteenth of the year in the third period, courtesy of Pascal Dupuis and Olli Maatta. Columbus got on the board as Matt Calvert scored his second of the campaign, with the help of Mark Letestu and Ryan Johansen. This was as close as it got, with the final being 2-1, and the three stars were Fleury (32 for 33 in saves), Crosby, and Malkin.
Way out west, the Anaheim Ducks host the New York Islanders. Anders Nilsson and Jonas Hiller are in the creases. New York struck first in the first period on a John Tavares goal, his twelfth of the season, a power play goal coming off of Thomas Vanek and Frans Nielsen. Anaheim tied it on a Saku Koivu goal, his third of the year, thanks to Cam Fowler. The Islanders retook the lead in the second period as Vanek put away his ninth of the season, passed from Tavares. The Ducks retied it when Andrew Cogliano scored his ninth of the year, with the help of Daniel Winnik and Bryan Allen. Anaheim took the lead on a shorthanded goal by Fowler, his third of the season, set up by Matt Beleskey. The Ducks added on as Corey Perry potted his nineteenth of the year, via Winnik and Ryan Getzlaf. Anaheim extended the lead as Perry scored his second of the game and twentieth of the campaign on the power play in the third period, powered by Nick Bonino and Fowler. This held up for a 5-2 win, with the three stars awarded to Perry, Fowler, and Winnik, while Tavares and Vanek get the honorable mentions.
Finally, the Vancouver Canucks bring in the Carolina Hurricanes. Backups Justin Peters and Eddie Lack are in goal. Vancouver dented the scoreboard in the first period on a Christopher Tanev goal, his second of the season, assisted by Dan Hamhuis and Chris Higgins. The Canucks added on as Jannik Hansen put his fourth of the year into the empty net in the third period, set up by Higgins. The three stars were Lack (31 save shutout), Peters (24 for 25 in saves), and Tanev in the 2-0 game.
