Three games going tonight, with the fourth on the schedule being postponed due to the attacks in Ottawa, preventing the Senators and Maple Leafs game from going as scheduled. We begin in...
Pittsburgh, as the Penguins host the Philadelphia Flyers. Ray Emery and Marc-Andre Fleury receive the starting nods. Pittsburgh started with a Nick Spaling goal, via Christian Ehrhoff and Blake Comeau. Philadelphia tied it on a Claude Giroux goal, his third of the season, assisted by Mark Streit and Jakub Voracek. The Flyers took the lead on a Pierre-Edouard Bellemare goal, passed from Sean Couturier and Nick Schultz. The Penguins tied it on a Pascal Dupuis goal in the second period, his second of the year, courtesy of Paul Martin and Evgeni Malkin. Philadelphia took the lead in the third period on an R.J. Umberger goal, made possible by Giroux and Voracek. The Flyers added on with a Matt Read goal, guided in by Couturier and Umberger. Pittsburgh got one back on a Marcel Goc goal, coming off of Spaling and Steve Downie. Philadelphia iced it at 5-3 with an empty net goal by Couturier, his third of the campaign, going in unassisted. The three stars were given to Giroux, Couturier, and Umberger, while Voracek and Spaling get the honorable mentions.
Northwest to Edmonton, where the Oilers welcome the Washington Capitals. Braden Holtby and Ben Scrivens are the young goalies. Edmonton opened in the first period on a Justin Schultz goal, his second of the season, assisted by Teddy Purcell and David Perron. Washington tied it on a John Carlson power play goal, powered by Nicklas Backstrom and Marcus Johansson. The Capital took the lead in the second period on a Mike Green goal, his third of the year, with a lone assist from Andre Burakovsky. The Oilers tied it on a Ryan Nugent-Hopkins goal, his second of the campaign, going in unassisted. Edmonton took the lead on a power play goal by Nikita Nikitin, courtesy of Purcell and Leon Draisaitl. This held up for a 3-2 win, with the three stars going to Scrivens (32 for 34 in saves), Purcell, and Nikitin.
Finally, the Anaheim Ducks bring in the Buffalo Sabres. Michal Neuvirth and Frederik Andersen are between the pipes. Anaheim struck first in the first period with a Corey Perry goal, his sixth of the season, guided in by Ryan Getzlaf and Devante Smith-Pelly. The Ducks added on as Ryan Kesler potted his third of the year, thanks to Andrew Cogliano and Jakob Silfverberg. Buffalo got on the board with a Tyler Ennis goal in the third period, his third of the season, with a lone assist by Matt Moulson. Anaheim shot back on a Perry goal, his second of the game and seventh of the year, passed from Getzlaf. The Ducks extended the lead on Perry's third of the night and eighth of the campaign, an empty net goal set up by Francois Beauchemin and Nate Thompson. This made it 4-1, a final, and the three stars went to Perry, Andersen (22 for 23 in saves), and Getzlaf.
