Three games on today, headlined by a venture to...
The Bronx, as the New York Islanders host the New York Rangers in the home of the New York Yankees for the third installment of the Stadium Series. Henrik Lundqvist and Evgeni Nabokov are the veteran goalies. The Islanders got going in the second period on a Brock Nelson goal, his tenth of the season, assisted by Matt Donovan and Cal Clutterbuck. The Rangers tied it with a Benoit Pouliot goal, his ninth of the year, via Derick Brassard and Mats Zuccarello. The Rangers took the lead in the third period on a Dan Carcillo goal, his third of the campaign, helped along by Dominic Moore and Brian Boyle. This was good for a 2-1 win, with the three stars being Lundqvist (30 for 31 in saves), Nabokov (32 for 34 in saves), and Carcillo.
Westward to Edmonton, as the Oilers welcome the San Jose Sharks. Antti Niemi and Ben Scrivens draw the starts. Edmonton led off in the first period with a Justin Schultz goal, his seventh of the season, assisted by Nick Schultz and Taylor Hall. The Oilers added on with a third period Hall goal, his nineteenth of the year, guided in by Jordan Eberle and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins. Edmonton extended the lead on an Eberle power play goal, his nineteenth of the campaign, powered by Nugent-Hopkins and Hall. This made it 3-0, the final, with Scrivens (59 save shutout, a regular season record), Hall, and Eberle getting the three stars, while Nugent-Hopkins gets an honorable mention.
Finally, in Vancouver, the Canucks bring in the Chicago Blackhawks. Corey Crawford and Roberto Luongo tend the twines. Vancouver began in the first period on a Chris Higgins goal, his fifteenth of the season, coming off of Ryan Kesler and Alexander Edler. The Canucks added on in the second period when Tom Sestito scored his fifth of the year, thanks to Ryan Stanton and Zack Kassian. Chicago got on the board with a Marian Hossa power play goal, his twenty-fourth of the season, powered by Kris Versteeg and Brandon Saad. The Blackhawks tied it on a Saad goal, his sixteenth of the year, via Sheldon Brookbank and Michal Handzus. Chicago took the lead with a Jonathan Toews goal, his eighteenth of the season, passed from Brent Seabrook and Patrick Sharp. The Blackhawks extended the lead with a Sharp goal, his twenty-seventh of the year, made possible by Toews and Duncan Keith. Chicago iced at 5-2 with a Saad empty net goal, his second of the game and seventeenth of the campaign, set up by Hossa. The three stars were given to Saad, Toews, and Sharp, while Hossa gets an honorable mention.
