Only two games on today before the Super Bowl takes over the airwaves. We begin in...
DC, as the Washington Capitals welcome the Detroit Red Wings. Jimmy Howard and Michal Neuvirth are in goal. Washington was first to score in the first period with a Jason Chimera goal, his twelfth of the season, assisted by Joel Ward and Connor Carrick. The Capitals added on with a Joel Ward power play goal, his fifteenth of the year, powered by Marcus Johansson and Chimera. Detroit got on the board with a Gustav Nyquist power play goal, his eleventh of the season, guided in by Daniel Alfredsson and Niklas Kronwall. Washington replied on a John Carlson power play goal, his tenth of the year, made possible by Nicklas Backstrom and Martin Erat. The Red Wings shot back back in the second period on a Tomas Tatar goal, his thirteenth of the season, passed from Riley Sheahan and Tomas Jurco. The Capitals responded with a Ward goal, his second of the game and sixteenth of the year, fueled by Chimera and Carrick. Detroit pulled back with Nyquist's second of the game and twelfth of the season, helped along by Henrik Zetterberg and Tatar on the power play. The Red Wings tied it in the third period when Nyquist finished his hat trick on his thirteenth of the year, via Zetterberg and Kronwall. Washington retook the lead with an unassisted goal by Troy Brouwer, his eleventh of the season. Detroit retied it on a Justin Abdelkader goal, his sixth of the year, thanks to Nyquist and Zetterberg, the latter getting a sock trick. The Capitals won 6-5 in overtime with a power play goal by Alex Ovechkin, his fortieth of the campaign, coming off of Carlson and Backstrom. The three stars were Ward, Carlson, and Chimera, while Nyquist, Zetterberg, Tatar, Backstrom, Carrick, and Kronwall all get the honorable mentions.
The other game comes from Montreal, as the Canadiens bring in the Winnipeg Jets. Al Montoya and Carey Price are the masked men. Winnipeg struck first in the second period on a Tobias Enstrom goal, his sixth of the season, assisted by Chris Thorburn and Blake Wheeler. Montreal tied it on a Brian Gionta goal, his tenth of the year, courtesy of Tomas Plekanec and Andrei Markov. The Jets retook the lead in the third period on a third period goal by Michael Frolik, his twelfth of the season, passed from Andrew Ladd. The Jets held on for a 2-1 win, with the three stars being Frolik, Montoya (30 for 31 in saves), and Price (33 for 35 in saves).
