This is our 1500th post on the blog. For the last three-plus years, I have been providing you all with various sports coverage, and a little bit of other stuff early on as well. That doesn't end now either, as we have four NHL games tonight. Rather, I just decided to update my readers on how many posts there have been. I'd also like to express my gratitude once again to those who have stopped by at any time. It is always very appreciated. We begin the coverage tonight in...
Toronto, as the Maple Leafs host the Columbus Blue Jackets. Sergei Bobrovsky and James Reimer are set to start. Columbus got going in the second period with a Dalton Prout goal, coming off of Derek MacKenzie and Matt Calvert. The Blue Jackets added on with an Artem Anisimov goal, his sixteenth of the season, fueled by Nikita Nikitin and Nick Foligno. Toronto got on the board in the third period with a Mason Raymond goal, his seventeenth of the year, guided in by Joffrey Lupul and Morgan Rielly. They failed to tie the game, losing 2-1, with the three stars being Bobrovsky (28 for 29 in saves), Anisimov, and Reimer (31 for 33 in saves).
Down in Dallas, the Stars welcome the Buffalo Sabres. Jhonas Enroth and Kari Lehtonen are in the blue paint. Buffalo led off in the first period with a Tyler Ennis goal, his fifteenth of the season, coming off of Drew Stafford and Matt Moulson. Dallas tied it in the second period with a Jordie Benn goal, his third of the year, via Ray Whitney and Tyler Seguin. The Stars took the lead with an Alex Goligoski, his third of the season, assisted by Shawn Horcoff and Ryan Garbutt. The Sabres retied it in the third period as Ennis scored his second of the game and sixteenth of the year, with the help of Moulson and Jamie McBain. Dallas regained the lead with an Alex Chiasson power play goal, his tenth of the campaign, powered by Jamie Benn and Whitney. This made it 3-2, good for a win, with the three stars being Ennis, Whitney, and Moulson.
Back north to Minnesota, as the Wild bring in the Calgary Flames. Reto Berra and Darcy Kuemper are the rookie goalies. Minnesota dented the scoreboard in the second period on a Kyle Brodziak goal, his fifth of the season, passed from Matt Cooke. Calgary got on the board with a Michael Cammalleri goal, his fourteenth of the year, via Dennis Wideman. The Wild retook the lead in the third period with a power play goal by Jared Spurgeon, his second of the season, powered by Ryan Suter and Mikael Granlund. Minnesota added on as Zach Parise scored his twenty-first of the year, thanks to Jason Pominville and Granlund. The Flames got one back with a Mark Giordano goal, his tenth of the campaign, made possible by Markus Granlund and Joe Colborne. This only made it 3-2, with the three stars going to Mikael Granlund, Parise, and Spurgeon.
Finally, in Los Angeles, the Kings host the Montreal Canadiens. Peter Budaj is mismatched with Jonathan Quick in goal. Los Angeles began in the first period with a Jake Muzzin goal, his fifth of the season, courtesy of Tyler Toffoli and Justin Williams. Montreal tied it on a P.K. Subban goal, his tenth of the year, made possible by Max Pacioretty and David Desharnais. The Kings retook the lead on a Jeff Carter power play goal, his twenty-second of the season, powered by Anze Kopitar and Alec Martinez. This was good for a 2-1 win, with the three stars being Quick (17 for 18 in saves), Carter, and Muzzin.
