Four games on this Columbus Day/Thanksgiving (depends on your country), beginning in...
Boston, as the Bruins host the Colorado Avalanche. Backups Reto Berra and Niklas Svedberg are called on for the starts. Colorado got going in the second period with a Jamie McGinn goal, assisted by Tyson Barrie and Matt Duchene. Boston tied it on a power play goal by Loui Eriksson, powered by Carl Soderberg and Reilly Smith. The Avalanche won it in the last second of regulation with a Daniel Briere goal, made possible by Jan Hejda and Nathan MacKinnon. The three stars of the 2-1 game were Briere, Berra (27 for 28 in saves), and McGinn.
Over in Buffalo, the Sabres welcome the Anaheim Ducks. Frederik Andersen and Michal Neuvirth are in the blue paint. Anaheim led off in the first period with a Corey Perry power play goal, his fourth of the season, powered by Patrick Maroon and Sami Vatanen. The Ducks added on with a William Karlsson goal, via Hampus Lindholm and Jakob Silfverberg. Anaheim extended the lead on the second of the year by Matt Beleskey, courtesy of Ben Lovejoy and Ryan Getzlaf. The Ducks padded the lead with another Karlsson goal, made possible by Cam Fowler and Silfverberg. Buffalo got on the board as Tyler Ennis scored his second of the season, thanks to Matt Moulson and Drew Stafford. Anaheim shot back with a Ryan Kesler goal on a penalty shot, his second of the year, coming after Andrej Meszaros tripped him. This made it a 5-1 final, with the three stars belonging to Karlsson, Silfverberg, and Beleskey.
The regularly-timed games come from the same state. The first is in Tampa Bay, where the Lightning bring in the Montreal Canadiens. Carey Price and Ben Bishop protect the nets. Tampa Bay began in the first period with a Victor Hedman goal, his third of the season, guided in by Nikita Kucherov and Vladislav Namestnikov. The Lightning added on as Steven Stamkos scored, thanks to Ryan Callahan and Hedman on the power play. Montreal got on the board with a Brendan Gallagher goal, via Jarred Tinordi and Mike Weaver. Tampa Bay shot back on a second period Stamkos goal, his second of the night, courtesy of Hedman. The Lightning extended the lead with a power play goal by Stamkos to complete his hat trick, powered by Hedman, who got a sock trick, and Valtteri Filppula. Dustin Tokarski relieved Price for the third period. Tampa Bay padded the lead in the third period on a Callahan goal, his second of the year, made possible by Matthew Carle. The Lightning struck again with an Ondrej Palat goal, passed from Brian Boyle and Anton Stralman. Tampa Bay finished it at 7-1 with a Namestnikov goal, with a lone assist by Kucherov. The three stars belonged to Stamkos, Hedman, and Namestnikov, while Kucherov and Callahan get the honorable mentions.
The final game comes from Sunrise, Florida, where the Panthers host the Ottawa Senators. Craig Anderson and Roberto Luongo occupy the creases. Ottawa dented the scoreboard in the second period with a Clarke MacArthur power play goal, powered by Kyle Turris and Erik Karlsson. This was the game's only goal, so the Senators won 1-0. Anderson (30 save shutout), MacArthur, and Luongo (22 for 23 in saves) received the three stars.
