Three games on this evening. We begin in...
Pittsburgh, as the Penguins host the New Jersey Devils. Cory Schneider and Marc-Andre Fleury are in the blue paint. Pittsburgh opened in the first period with a Pascal Dupuis goal, his fifth of the season, assisted by Chris Kunitz and Sidney Crosby. The Penguins added on as Chris Conner scored his second of the year, thanks to Brandon Sutter and Joe Vitale. Pittsburgh extended the lead as Jayson Megna recorded his fourth of the season, via Simon Despres and Deryk Engelland. New Jersey got on the board in the second period with a Patrik Elias goal, his seventh of the year, guided in by Anton Volchenkov and Steve Bernier. The Devils pulled closer as Dainius Zubrus scored his fifth of the campaign, with the help of Jaromir Jagr and Travis Zajac. They couldn't get an equalizer, losing 3-2, with the three stars being Megna, Fleury (37 for 39 in saves), and Conner.
South to Florida, where the Panthers welcome the Washington Capitals. Backups Philipp Grubauer and Scott Clemmensen are in goal. Florida led off in the second period on a Dylan Olsen goal, his third of the season, guided in by Tomas Kopecky and Jonathan Huberdeau. Washington tied it with a Nicklas Backstrom goal, his eighth of the year, passed from Mikhail Grabovski. The Panthers retook the lead as Aleksander Barkov scored his fifth of the season, an unassisted goal. The Capitals retied it as Joel Ward scored his tenth of the year, a power play goal powered by Marcus Johansson and Backstrom. The tie lasted to a shootout, where Eric Fehr was answered by Huberdeau, Backstrom was cancelled out by Brad Boyes, and Grabovski was matched by Nick Bjugstad before a tenth round tally by Kopecky gave the Panthers a 3-2 win. The three stars were Backstrom, Kopecky, and Grabovski, while Huberdeau gets an honorable mention.
All the way northwest to Vancouver, as the Canucks bring in the Edmonton Oilers. Devan Dubnyk is mismatched with Roberto Luongo in goal. Vancouver started in the second period on a Daniel Sedin goal, his eleventh of the season, passed from Jason Garrison and Ryan Kesler on the power play. The Canucks added on in the third period as Zack Kassian scored his sixth of the year, thanks to David Booth and Garrison. Vancouver extended the lead on a Chris Higgins goal, his ninth of the season, guided in by Kesler and Mike Santorelli. The Canucks padded the lead with a power play goal by Dale Weise, his third of the year, powered by Yannick Weber and Garrison, the latter getting a sock trick. The three stars were handed to Luongo (19 save shutout), Garrison, and Kesler in the 4-0 final.
