Four games on a calm Monday, beginning in...
Ottawa, as the Senators host the Carolina Hurricanes. Cam Ward and Craig Anderson are the washed up goalies. Ottawa began in the first period with a Mika Zibanejad goal, his fourteenth of the season, via Patrick Wiercioch and Ales Hemsky. Carolina tied it on an unassisted goal by Jeff Skinner, his thirtieth of the year. The tie lasted to a shootout, where Hemsky scored the only goal for a 2-1 Senators win. Hemsky, Anderson (30 for 31 in saves), and Ward (28 for 29 in saves) were given the three stars.
Down in New Jersey, the Devils welcome the Florida Panthers. Dan Ellis and Martin Brodeur are set to start. New Jersey started twelve seconds into the first period with a Travis Zajac goal, his fourteenth of the season, courtesy of Jaromir Jagr and Mark Fayne. The Devils added on with a Jagr goal, his twenty-fourth of the year, coming off of Ryane Clowe. New Jersey extended the lead on another Zajac goal, his second of the game and fifteenth of the season, a power play goal made possible by Clowe and Eric Gelinas. Florida got on the board with a shorthanded goal from Dmitry Kulikov, his eighth of the year, set up by Nick Bjugstad. The Panthers pulled closer in the second period on a Brad Boyes goal, his twentieth of the season, fueled by Bjugstad. The Devils shot back with a Clowe goal, his seventh of the year, with assists by Zajac and Jagr. Florida answered as Brandon Pirri notched his tenth of the season, via Dylan Olsen and Vincent Trocheck. Brodeur was replaced by Schneider at this time. New Jersey answered in the third period on a shorthanded goal by Jacob Josefson, assisted by Ryan Carter. The Devils finished it at 6-3 with Zajac's sixteenth of the year to complete his hat trick, helped along by Tuomo Ruutu and Jagr, who got a sock trick. The three stars went to Zajac, Jagr, and Clowe, while Bjugstad gets an honorable mention.
Way out west, the Anaheim Ducks bring in the Winnipeg Jets. Ondrej Pavelec and Frederik Andersen receive the starting nods. Winnipeg opened in the first period with a Jacob Trouba goal, his ninth of the season, via Michael Frolik and Bryan Little. The Jets added on with a Matt Halischuk goal, his fifth of the year, made possible by Evander Kane and Eric O'Dell. Winnipeg extended the lead in the second period on a Blake Wheeler power play goal, his twenty-seventh of the campaign, powered by Dustin Byfuglien and the goalie Pavelec. The Jets padded the lead as Eric Tangradi put away his third of the season, with the help of Zach Redmond and Anthony Peluso. Anaheim got on the board with a Nick Bonino goal, his twentieth of the year, guided in by Jakob Silfverberg and Pat Maroon. The Ducks chipped closer in the third period with a power play goal by Ryan Getzlaf, his thirty-first of the campaign, assisted by Maroon and Mathieu Perreault. Anaheim pulled closer as Hampus Lindholm scored his sixth of the season, thanks to Daniel Winnik and Saku Koivu. The Ducks tied it with a Corey Perry goal, his thirty-ninth of the year, set up by Getzlaf and Kyle Palmieri. Anaheim completed the epic comeback in overtime, winning 5-4 with a Stephane Robidas goal, his fifth of the campaign, going in unassisted. The three stars belonged to Robidas, Getzlaf, and Maroon.
Finally, up I-5, the Los Angeles Kings host the Minnesota Wild. Ilya Bryzgalov and Jonathan Quick are the veteran goalies. Los Angeles led off in the first period with an Alec Martinez goal, his eleventh of the season, passed from Anze Kopitar and Justin Williams. Minnesota tied it in the second period on a Zach Parise power play goal, his twenty-eighth of the year, powered by Mikael Granlund and Mikko Koivu. The Kings shot back as Williams scored his nineteenth of the campaign, thanks to Marian Gaborik and Willie Mitchell. The Wild tied it again in the third period on a Matt Moulson goal, his twenty-second of the season, via Jason Pominville and Erik Haula. Minnesota gained the lead as Koivu notched his tenth of the year, with the help of Charlie Coyle and Parise. This was all they needed for a 3-2 win, with the three stars being Parise, Koivu, and Williams.
