There are just four games on today, beginning in...

Calgary dented the scoreboard in the second period on a Mikael Backlund power play goal, his seventh of the season, powered by Jiri Hudler and Dennis Wideman. The Flames added on in the third period with the thirteenth of the year by Sean Monahan, via Paul Byron and T.J. Galiardi. This was good for a 2-0 win, with the three stars going to Ramo (23 save shutout), Backlund, and Monahan.

West to Columbus, where the Blue Jackets welcome the Tampa Bay Lightning. Anders Lindback is mismatched with Sergei Bobrovsky in goal. Columbu got going in the second period on a Ryan Johansen goal, his seventeenth of the season, assisted by Ryan Murray. Tampa Bay tied it on a power play goal by Alex Killorn, his twelfth of the year, powered by Matthew Carle and Radko Gudas. The Lightning took the lead on a Victor Hedman goal, his ninth of the season, coming off of Tyler Johnson and Martin St. Louis. The Blue Jackets tied it with a Nathan Horton power play goal in the third period, his second of the year, guided in by Jack Johnson and Artem Anisimov. Columbus took the lead on a Mark Letestu power play goal, his fifth of the campaign, passed from Johnson and James Wisniewski. This made it 3-2, the final, with the three stars being Johnson, Letestu, and Horton.

Up in Winnipeg, the Jets bring in the Phoenix Coyotes. Mike Smith and Ondrej Pavelec are the veteran goalies. Phoenix started in the first period on an Oliver Ekman-Larsson power play goal, his fifth of the season, powered by Mikkel Boedker and Shane Doan. Winnipeg tied it with an Olli Jokinen goal, his twelfth of the year, with a lone helper by Dustin Byfuglien. The Jets took the lead as Eric O'Dell scored his second of the season, an unassisted goal. Winnipeg added on in the second period with a Blake Wheeler goal, his seventeenth of the year, coming off of Mark Scheifele. The Jets extended the lead on a Michael Frolik goal, his tenth of the season, guided in by Adam Pardy and Bryan Little in the third period. Winnipeg iced it at 5-1 on a Devin Setoguchi power play goal, his eighth of the year, fueled by Byfuglien and Tobias Enstrom. The three stars belonged to Byfuglien, O'Dell, and Wheeler.

Finally, in Los Angeles, the Kings host the Vancouver Canucks. Eddie Lack and Jonathan Quick are in the blue paint. Los Angeles opened in the third period on a Dustin Brown goal, his tenth of the season, courtesy of Anze Kopitar and Jeff Carter. This was the only goal in the game, so the Kings won 1-0.
