Four games on Trade Deadline Day. We begin in...
New York, where the Rangers host the Toronto Maple Leafs. Henrik Lundqvist and Jonathan Bernier protect the nets. Toronto got going in the second period on a Tyler Bozak goal, his thirteenth of the season, going in unassisted. The Maple Leafs added on in the third period with a Nazem Kadri goal, his sixteenth of the year, with a lone assist by Nikolai Kulemin. New York got on the board as Ryan McDonagh scored his tenth of the season, a shorthanded goal set up by Dominic Moore and Brian Boyle. The Rangers tied it with a Moore shorthanded goal, coming off of Derek Stepan as his fifth of the year. Toronto won 3-2 in overtime with another Bozak goal, his second of the game and fourteenth of the campaign, via Phil Kessel and Paul Ranger. The three stars were Bozak, Moore, and Bernier (35 for 37 in saves).
Over in Philadelphia, the Flyers welcome the Washington Capitals. Braden Holtby and Steve Mason are the inconsistent goalies. Philadelphia opened in the first period with a Claude Giroux goal, his twenty-second of the season, courtesy of Sean Couturier and Matt Read. The Flyers added on as Jakub Voracek scored his seventeenth of the year, a power play goal powered by Giroux and Wayne Simmonds. Philadelphia extended the lead in the second period on a Giroux goal, his second of the game and twenty-third of the season, going in unassisted. The Flyers padded the lead on a Michael Raffl goal, his eighth of the year, fueled by Luke Schenn and Andrew MacDonald. Holtby was pulled for Philipp Grubauer. Washington got on the board with a Joel Ward goal, his nineteenth of the season, coming on the power play via Mike Green and Alex Ovechkin. The Capitals pulled closer in the third period with a power play goal by Ovechkin, his forty-fourth of the year, guided in by Nicklas Backstrom and John Carlson. Washington chipped closer with a Troy Brouwer goal, his seventeenth of the season, fueled by Jack Hillen and Backstrom. Philadelphia shot back on Voracek's second of the game and eighteenth of the year, with a lone assist from Scott Hartnell. The Capitals replied with a power play goal by Brooks Laich, his seventh of the season, passed from Green and Karl Alzner. The Flyers iced it at 6-4 with an empty net goal by Steve Downie, his fourth of the year, set up by Read and Brayden Schenn. The three stars were Giroux, Voracek, and Ovechkin, while Read, Backstrom, and Green got the honorable mentions.
Northwest to Calgary, where the Flames bring in the Ottawa Senators. Craig Anderson and Joni Ortio are between the pipes. Calgary began with a Markus Granlund goal, fueled by Max Reinhart. The Flames added on in the second period with a Paul Byron power play goal, his third of the season, powered by Mark Giordano and Kris Russell. Calgary extended the lead with Joe Colborne's fifth of the year, passed from Jiri Hudler and Sean Monahan. Ottawa got on the board as Kyle Turris scored in the third period, his twentieth of the season, coming off of Colin Greening and Patrick Wiercioch. The Flames shot back with a power play goal by Michael Cammalleri, his fifteenth of the year, courtesy of Giordano and Monahan. This was good for a 4-1 win, with the three stars being Ortio (30 for 31 in saves), Giordano, and Monahan.
Finally, in Anaheim, the Ducks host the Montreal Canadiens. Dustin Tokarski is mismatched with Jonas Hiller in goal. Montreal led off in the first period with a Brian Gionta goal, his third of the season, assisted by Tomas Plekanec. The Canadiens added on with a Max Pacioretty goal, his thirtieth of the year, courtesy of David Desharnais and Brendan Gallagher. Anaheim got on the board in the second period with a Tim Jackman goal, his third of the season, via Luca Sbisa and Nick Bonino. The Ducks tied it with a power play goal by Francois Beauchemin, his third of the year, powered by Hampus Lindholm and the goalie Hiller. Anaheim took the lead as Daniel Winnik scored his third of the season, thanks to Matt Beleskey and Ben Lovejoy. Montreal retied it on a Gallagher goal, his sixteenth of the year, made possible by P.K. Subban and Travis Moen. The tie lasted to a shootout, where Bonino was matched by Desharnais, followed by Corey Perry trading goals with Daniel Briere, before the Canadiens won with an Andrei Markov tally. The three stars of the 4-3 game were Gallagher, Desharnais, and Bonino.
