Six games on tonight, the first of which is in...
Buffalo, where the Sabres host the Florida Panthers. Roberto Luongo and Jhonas Enroth are in the creases. Florida got going in the second period on a Sean Bergenheim goal, made possible by Brad Boyes and Dmitry Kulikov. This was the game's only goal, for a 1-0 Panthers win. The three stars were given to Luongo (26 save shutout), Bergenheim, and Enroth (34 for 35 in saves).
Out in Columbus, the Blue Jackets welcome the Calgary Flames. Karri Ramo and Sergei Bobrovsky man the nets. Columbus led off in the first period with a Jack Skille goal, his second of the season, coming off of Mark Letestu and Matt Calvert. The Blue Jackets added on with a Ryan Johansen power play goal, his third of the year, powered by Nick Foligno and Cam Atkinson. Columbus extended the lead with a Calvert goal, via Letestu and James Wisniewski. Calgary got on the board in the third period with a Mason Raymond goal, his fourth of the season, assisted by Curtis Glencross and Mikael Backlund. The Flames pulled closer on a Josh Jooris goal, fueled by Mark Giordano and T.J. Brodie. They lost 3-2, and the three stars went to Calvert, Letestu, and Bobrovsky (29 for 31 in saves).
Up in Toronto, the Maple Leafs bring in the Detroit Red Wings. Jimmy Howard and James Reimer are given the starting nods. Detroit was first to score in the first period with a Johan Franzen goal, courtesy of Henrik Zetterberg. The Red Wings added on with another Franzen goal in the second period, assisted by Zetterberg and Justin Abdelkader. Detroit extended the lead as Gustav Nyquist scored his fourth of the season, thanks to Zetterberg, who got a sock trick, and Jakub Kindl. Toronto got on the board in the third period as Mike Santorelli scored, thanks to Leo Komarov and David Clarkson. The Red Wings shot back on an Abdelkader goal, his second of the year, via Nyquist and Zetterberg. This made it 4-1, a final, with the three stars awarded to Zetterberg, Franzen, and Nyquist, while Abdelkader gets an honorable mention.
Westward to Winnipeg, where the Jets host the Nashville Predators. Pekka Rinne and Ondrej Pavelec are the veteran goalies. Nashville struck first in the first period on a Mike Ribeiro goal, his second of the season, via Seth Jones and Anton Volchenkov. The Predators added on in the third period with a James Neal goal, courtesy of Filip Forsberg and Volchenkov. They went on for a 2-0 win, with the three stars going to Rinne (31 save shutout), Ribeiro, and Volchenkov.
Further west, the Edmonton Oilers welcome the Vancouver Canucks. Ryan Miller and Ben Scrivens are set to start. Vancouver dented the scoreboard in the second period with a Radim Vrbata goal, his third of the season, coming off of Daniel Sedin and Henrik Sedin. The Canucks iced it at 2-0 with a third period empty net goal by Daniel Sedin, set up by Henrik Sedin and Vrbata. The three stars went to Miller (28 save shutout), Vrbata, and Daniel Sedin, while Henrik Sedin gets an honorable mention.
Down in Anaheim, the Ducks bring in the Minnesota Wild. Darcy Kuemper and Frederik Andersen are the inexperienced goalies. Minnesota began in the second period with a Jason Zucker goal, his second of the season, passed from Ryan Carter and Keith Ballard. Anaheim tied it in the third period on a shorthanded Andrew Cogliano goal, set up by Devante Smith-Pelly and Cam Fowler. The Ducks got the lead on a Corey Perry goal, his fifth of the year, with a lone assist by Nate Thompson. This was good for a 2-1 victory, with the three stars going to Perry, Andersen (27 for 28 in saves), and Cogliano.
