Four games on this evening, beginning in...
Boston, as the Bruins host the Minnesota Wild. Darcy Kuemper and Tuukka Rask are in the blue paint. Boston got going in the second period on a Jarome Iginla goal, his twenty-fourth of the season, passed from Matt Bartkowski and Andrej Meszaros. The Bruins added on with a Loui Eriksson goal, his eighth of the year, coming off of Carl Soderberg. Minnesota got on the board on a Jason Pominville goal, his twenty-sixth of the season, guided in by Ryan Suter and Mikael Granlund. Boston shot back in the third period with a Reilly Smith goal, his nineteenth of the year, guided in by Patrice Bergeron and Zdeno Chara. The Bruins iced it at 4-1 with an Iginla empty net goal, his second of the game and twenty-fifth of the campaign, set up by Chara. The three stars went to Rask (33 for 34 in saves), Iginla, and Chara.
South to Tampa Bay, where the Lightning welcome the Vancouver Canucks. Eddie Lack and Ben Bishop are the young goalies. Tampa Bay opened in the first period on a Steven Stamkos power play goal, his sixteenth of the season, powered by Ondrej Palat and Ryan Callahan. The Lightning added on in the second period with a Palat goal, his eighteenth of the year, with a lone assist by Matthew Carle. Tampa Bay extended the lead with a Valtteri Filppula goal, his twenty-third of the season, coming off of Stamkos. Vancouver got on the board in the third period with a power play goal by Alexandre Burrows, his fourth of the year, assisted by Kevin Bieksa and Alexander Edler. The Lightning replied with a Tom Pyatt goal, his third of the season, made possible by J.T. Brown and Victor Hedman. The Canucks pulled back on a Burrows goal, his second of the game and fifth of the year, fueled by Nicklas Jensen and Henrik Sedin. Vancouver chipped closer on a Jannik Hansen shorthanded goal, his eleventh of the season, set up by Burrows. They failed to tie it, losing 4-3, with the three stars going to Stamkos, Palat, and Burrows.
Northwest to St. Louis, where the Blues bring in the Winnipeg Jets. Al Montoya and Ryan Miller are called on to start. St. Louis dented the scoreboard in the second period with a Brenden Morrow goal, his eleventh of the season, via Derek Roy and Jay Bouwmeester. Winnipeg tied it in the third period on an Eric O'Dell goal, his third of the year, courtesy of Evander Kane and Zach Bogosian. The Blues took the lead back with a power play goal by David Backes, his twenty-second of the season, powered by Ian Cole and Bouwmeester. St. Louis finished it as Backes was awarded his twenty-third of the year while being slashed on a breakaway with an empty net. This was good for a 3-1 win, with Backes, Miller (16 for 17 in saves), and Morrow picking up the three stars.
Finally, in Los Angeles, the Kings host the Phoenix Coyotes. Mike Smith and Jonathan Quick protect the nets. Phoenix started in the first period with a Rob Klinkhammer goal, his eleventh of the season, coming off of Radim Vrbata and Martin Hanzal. The Coyotes added on with a Mikkel Boedker power play goal, his seventeenth of the year, powered by Oliver Ekman-Larsson and Keith Yandle. Los Angeles got on the board with a Tanner Pearson goal, his second of the season, fueled by Jarret Stoll and Tyler Toffoli. The Kings tied it in the second period on an Alec Martinez goal, his eighth of the year, with a lone assist by Jeff Carter. Los Angeles took the lead on a Marian Gaborik power play goal, his eighth of the season, helped along by Anze Kopitar and Slava Voynov. Phoenix tied it in the third period on an unassisted Yandle goal, his eighth of the year. The Coyotes took the lead as Jeff Halpern scored his fourth of the season, thanks to Shane Doan and Kyle Chipchura. This made it 4-3, the final, with Yandle, Halpern, and Boedker getting the three stars.
