Four games on tonight, beginning with...
The Ottawa Senators host the Washington Capitals. Philipp Grubauer and Craig Anderson are in the creases. Washington began in the first period as Joel Ward scored his twelfth of the season, thanks to Martin Erat and Jason Chimera. Ottawa tied it on a Mika Zibanejad goal, his ninth of the year, assisted by Cory Conacher and Milan Michalek. The Senators took the lead in the second period on a Kyle Turris goal, his tenth of the season, passed from Bobby Ryan. Ottawa iced it at 3-1 with an empty net goal by Clarke MacArthur, his twelfth of the year going into the empty net, set up by Erik Karlsson and Jared Cowen. The three stars belonged to Anderson (34 for 35 in saves), Turris, and Zibanejad.
Southwest to Chicago, as the Blackhawks welcome the Los Angeles Kings. Martin Jones and Antti Raanta are the impressive backups in goal. Chicago led off in the first period as Brandon Saad scored his fourteenth of the season, via Bryan Bickell and Duncan Keith. This was all they needed for a 1-0 win, with the three stars being Raanta (26 save shutout), Saad, and Jones (29 for 30 in saves).
East a little to Nashville, as the Predators bring in the Detroit Red Wings. Jimmy Howard returns from injury against Marek Mazanec in goal. Nashville opened in the first period as Colin Wilson potted his sixth of the season, courtesy of Seth Jones and Mike Fisher. Detroit tied it on a Justin Abdelkader goal, his fourth of the year, passed from Drew Miller. The Predators took the lead with a Craig Smith goal, his eleventh of the season, with a lone assist by Paul Gaustad. Nashville added on as Nick Spaling netted his seventh of the year, thanks to Smith. The Red Wings got one back as Pavel Datsyuk scored his fifteenth of the season in the third period, coming off of Niklas Kronwall. The Predators answered with a Fisher goal, his tenth of the year, assisted by Wilson and Patric Hornqvist. Detroit pulled back as Miller put away his fifth of the season, fueled by Kyle Quincey and Darren Helm. Nashville countered with a Wilson goal, his second of the game and seventh of the year, guided in by Jones and Fisher. The Red Wings chipped closer with a Patrick Eaves power play goal, powered by Henrik Zetterberg and Kronwall. The Predators wrapped it up at 6-4 with an empty net goal by Roman Josi, his third of the campaign, set up by Matt Cullen. The three stars were handed to Wilson, Fisher, and Smith, while Miller, Kronwall, and Jones get the honorable mentions.
Northwest to Vancouver, as the Canucks host the Philadelphia Flyers. Steve Mason and Eddie Lack are the masked men. Philadelphia started in the first period as Mark Streit scored his fourth of the season, assisted by Michael Raffl and Claude Giroux. Vancouver tied it on a Tom Sestito goal in the second period, his third of the year, guided in by Dan Hamhuis and Zac Dalpe. The Canucks took the lead as Jannik Hansen scored his eighth of the season, made possible by Daniel Sedin and Henrik Sedin. The Flyers retied it as Giroux netted his eleventh of the year, fueled by Raffl. Vancouver took the lead back in the third period on a Daniel Sedin goal, his thirteenth of the season, thanks to Hamhuis. Philadelphia tied it again late on a Brayden Schenn goal, his eighth of the year, passed from Scott Hartnell and Matt Read. The Flyers won 4-3 with a Vincent Lecavalier shootout goal.
