Buffalo Sabres host the San Jose Sharks. Antti Niemi faces a lesser foe in Jhonas Enroth in goal. Buffalo led off in the first period with a Cody Hodgson power play goal, his fifteenth of the season, powered by Tyler Myers and Christian Ehrhoff. San Jose tied it in the second period on a James Sheppard goal, his second of the year, courtesy of Marc-Edouard Vlasic and Dan Boyle. The Sabres retook the lead in the third period on a Brian Flynn goal, his sixth of the season, coming off of Zemgus Girgensons. Buffalo added on with a Matt Moulson goal, his seventeenth of the year, guided in by Myers and Mike Weber. The Sharks pulled back with a Patrick Marleau goal, his twenty-fourth of the season, via Joe Thornton and Boyle. The Sabres finished it at 4-2 with a Myers goal, his eighth of the year, with a lone helper by Matt D'Agostini. The three stars were Myers, Boyle, and Moulson.
Out west, the Colorado Avalanche welcome the Phoenix Coyotes. Thomas Greiss is mismatched with Semyon Varlamov in goal. Phoenix began in the first period with a Shane Doan power play goal, his sixteenth of the season, powered by Mikkel Boedker and Oliver Ekman-Larsson. Colorado tied it on a P.A. Parenteau power play goal, his twelfth of the year, assisted by Matt Duchene and Ryan O'Reilly. The Avalanche took the lead in the third period on a Nate Guenin goal, courtesy of Gabriel Landeskog and Paul Stastny. Colorado added on with a Stastny goal, his eighteenth of the season, helped along by Landeskog and Nathan MacKinnon. The Coyotes got one back with another Doan power play goal, his second of the game and seventeenth of the year, fueled by Keith Yandle and Ekman-Larsson. The Avalanche shot back with a Landeskog power play goal, his nineteenth of the campaign, guided in by MacKinnon and Tyson Barrie. This made it a 4-2 game, the final, with Landeskog, Doan, and Stastny receiving the three stars, while MacKinnon and Ekman-Larsson get the honorable mentions.
Northwest to Vancouver, as the Canucks bring in the Minnesota Wild. Darcy Kuemper and Eddie Lack are the young goalies. Vancouver started in the first period with a Ryan Kesler shorthanded goal, his twenty-first of the season, set up by Chris Higgins. Minnesota tied it on a Zach Parise power play goal, his twentieth of the year, powered by Jason Pominville and Mikael Granlund. The Wild won 2-1 in the shootout with a Justin Fontaine tally. The three stars belonged to Kuemper (30 for 31 in saves), Lack (22 for 23 in saves), and Fontaine.
Down in Anaheim, the Ducks host the St. Louis Blues. Brian Elliott and Jonas Hiller are the masked men. Anaheim opened in the first period with an Andrew Cogliano goal, his eighteenth of the season, via Saku Koivu and Cam Fowler. This was the only goal in the game, good for a 1-0 final. The three stars were handed to Hiller (18 save shutout), Cogliano, and Elliott (18 for 19 in saves).
