Three games on a short night. We begin in...
Toronto, as the Maple Leafs host the Buffalo Sabres. Ryan Miller and James Reimer are in goal. Toronto led off in the first period with an unassisted goal by Phil Kessel, his twenty-second of the season. Buffalo tied it in the second period on a Matt Ellis goal, his second of the year, guided in by Tyler Myers and Mark Pysyk. The Sabres took the lead on a Matt Moulson goal, his fifteenth of the season, going in unassisted. The Maple Leafs tied it as Nikolai Kulemin scored his sixth of the year, thanks to Peter Holland. Toronto took the lead on a Morgan Rielly goal, his second of the season, coming off of Nazem Kadri and Mason Raymond. Buffalo retied it on a third period power play goal by Cody Hodgson, his tenth of the year, powered by Tyler Ennis and Christian Ehrhoff. The tie lasted to a shootout, where James van Riemsdyk, Joffrey Lupul, and Tyler Bozak overwhelmed Moulson to secure a 4-3 win. The three stars were handed to Moulson, Lupul, and Rielly.
Down in Pittsburgh, the Penguins welcome the Washington Capitals. Michal Neuvirth and Marc-Andre Fleury draw the starts. Washington was first to score in the first period with a shorthanded goal by Brooks Laich, his fifth of the season, set up by Karl Alzner. Pittsburgh tied it on a second period Kris Letang goal, his ninth of the year, courtesy of Sidney Crosby and Tanner Glass. The Capitals took the lead back with a Jason Chimera goal, his ninth of the season, assisted by Marcus Johansson and Dmitry Orlov. The Penguins retied it on a Taylor Pyatt goal, coming off of Olli Maatta and Jussi Jokinen. Washington pulled ahead with an Alex Ovechkin goal in the third period, his thirty-fourth of the year, via Johansson and Mike Green. Pittsburgh tied it again on a Jokinen goal, his thirteenth of the season, made possible by Brandon Sutter and Matt Niskanen. The Penguins took the lead on a Maatta goal, his fourth of the year, courtesy of Evgeni Malkin and Niskanen. This held up for a 4-3 win, with Maatta, Jokinen, and Niskanen getting the three stars, while Johansson gets an honorable mention.
Finally, way out in Anaheim, the Ducks bring in the Vancouver Canucks. Eddie Lack and Frederik Andersen are the backups making spot starts. Anaheim struck first in the first period on an Andrew Cogliano goal, his sixteenth of the season, courtesy of Jakob Silfverberg and Saku Koivu. The Ducks added on with a Teemu Selanne goal, his sixth of the year, via Sami Vatanen and Hampus Lindholm on the power play. Anaheim extended the lead as Corey Perry scored his twenty-sixth of the season, coming off of Pat Maroon and Lindholm. Lack was replaced by Joacim Eriksson. The Ducks padded the lead on a Nick Bonino goal, his fourteenth of the year, a power play goal made possible by Vatanen and Perry. Anaheim struck again with another Bonino power play goal, his second of the game and fifteenth of the season, powered by Ryan Getzlaf and Perry. The Ducks kept going with a Silfverberg goal, his sixth of the year, guided in by Francois Beauchemin and Maroon on the power play. Vancouver answered on a Zack Kassian power play goal, his ninth of the season, assisted by David Booth and Alexander Edler. Anaheim replied with a Perry goal, his second of the game and twenty-seventh of the year, with a lone assist by Getzlaf. The Ducks got another with a Selanne power play goal, his second of the game and seventh of the season, passed from Matt Beleskey and Ben Lovejoy. Anaheim finished it at 9-1 when Vatanen scored his sixth of the year on the power play, with the help of Mark Fistric and Selanne. The three stars went to Selanne, Perry, and Bonino, while Vatanen, Silfverberg, Getzlaf, Lindholm, and Maroon received the honorable mentions.
