Four games are on today, beginning in...
Columbus, as the Blue Jackets host the New York Rangers. Henrik Lundqvist and Sergei Bobrovsky tend the twines. Columbus got going in the third period on a Nick Foligno goal, his eighteenth of the season, an unassisted goal. New York tied it with a Derek Stepan goal, his fourteenth of the year, via Ryan McDonagh and Anton Stralman. The Rangers took the lead on a Derick Brassard goal, his sixteenth of the season, passed from Stralman and Mats Zuccarello. New York iced it at 3-1 with an empty net goal by Carl Hagelin, his seventeenth of the year, set up by Zuccarello and Marc Staal. The three stars were handed to Lundqvist (25 for 26 in saves), Stralman, and Zuccarello.
West to Chicago, as the Blackhawks welcome the Carolina Hurricanes. Anton Khudobin and Corey Crawford guard the cages. Chicago dented the scoreboard in the second period on a Patrick Sharp goal, his thirtieth of the season, assisted by Andrew Shaw and Michal Handzus. The Blackhawks added on as Kris Versteeg notched his eleventh of the year, with the help of Nick Leddy and Brent Seabrook. Carolina got on the board with an Alexander Semin goal, his twentieth of the season, guided in by Eric Staal and Andrej Sekera. The Hurricanes tied it with another Semin goal in the third period, his second of the game and twenty-first of the year coming on the power play from Eric Staal. Chicago retook the lead on a shorthanded goal by Jonathan Toews, his twenty-eighth of the season, going in unassisted. This was good for a 3-2 win, with the three stars being Semin, Toews, and Eric Staal.
Further to the west, the Colorado Avalanche host the Boston Bruins. Chad Johnson is mismatched with Semyon Varlamov in goal. Boston opened in the first period on a Patrice Bergeron goal, his twenty-first of the season, guided in by Dougie Hamilton and Zdeno Chara. The Bruins added on as Carl Soderberg scored a power play goal in the second period, his thirteenth of the year, powered by Loui Eriksson and Hamilton. This was all they needed for a 2-0 win, with Johnson (31 save shutout), Hamilton, and Bergeron earning the three stars.
Up in Calgary, the Flames bring in the Nashville Predators. Pekka Rinne and Joni Ortio are the Finnish goalies. Nashville started in the first period with a Victor Bartley goal, courtesy of Craig Smith and Seth Jones.

Calgary got on the board with a Kris Russell power play goal, his fifth of the year, powered by Mark Giordano and Michael Cammalleri. Nashville shot back in the second period on a Patric Hornqvist goal, his fourteenth of the season, via Michael Del Zotto and Cullen. The Flames got one back on a Cammalleri goal, his twenty-first of the year, with a lone helper by Russell. Calgary tied it with a Giordano goal, his twelfth of the season, helped along by Curtis Glencross and Jiri Hudler. The Predators pulled ahead again on a Viktor Stalberg goal, his eighth of the year, with assists provided by Gabriel Bourque and Calle Jarnkrok. The Flames tied it again with a Mikael Backlund goal, his eighteenth of the season, fueled by Lance Bouma and Brian McGrattan. Nashville gained the lead in the third period on a Weber goal, his second of the game and eighteenth of the year, pushed through by Cullen, who got a sock trick, and Hornqvist on the power play. The Predators struck again with a Cullen goal, his seventh of the season, from Roman Josi and Hornqvist. Calgary got one back again with a Cammalleri goal, his second of the game and twenty-second of the year, guided in by Russell and Backlund. The final in the marathon game stood at 6-5, with the three stars being Weber, Hornqvist, and Cullen, while Cammalleri, Backlund, Russell, and Giordano get the honorable mentions.
