Welcome to the new season of NHL action. We begin with a storied rivalry in...
Toronto, as the Maple Leafs host the Montreal Canadiens. Carey Price and Jonathan Bernier guard the cages. Montreal opened in the first period on a Max Pacioretty goal, assisted by P.A. Parenteau and Alexei Emelin. Toronto tied it with a Nazem Kadri goal, coming off of Brandon Kozun and Joffrey Lupul. The Maple Leafs took the lead as Tyler Bozak scored, thanks to Stuart Percy and Dion Phaneuf on the power play. The Canadiens retied it in the second period on a Tomas Plekanec goal, with a lone assist by Emelin. Montreal took the lead in the third period with a P.K. Subban goal, via David Desharnais and Parenteau. Toronto retied it on a Morgan Rielly goal, courtesy of Leo Komarov. The Canadiens won 4-3 as Plekanec scored his second of the night, with the help of Alex Galchenyuk. The three stars went to Plekanec, Emelin, and Parenteau.
Stateside, the Boston Bruins welcome the Philadelphia Flyers. Steve Mason is mismatched with Tuukka Rask in goal. Boston started with a Reilly Smith power play goal in the first period, powered by Carl Soderberg and Patrice Bergeron. Philadelphia tied it in the third period on a Sean Couturier goal, assisted by Jakub Voracek and Matt Read. The Bruins took the lead back with a Chris Kelly goal, fueled by Adam McQuaid and Soderberg. This made it 2-1, the final, with the three stars going to Kelly, Rask (19 for 20 in saves), and Soderberg.
Out west and in Canada again, the Calgary Flames bring in the Vancouver Canucks. Ryan Miller and Jonas Hiller are the goalies with rhyming last names. Vancouver struck first in the first period on an Alexander Burrows power play goal, powered by Dan Hamhuis and Christopher Tanev. Calgary tied it in the second period on a Paul Byron goal, coming off of Joe Colborne. The Canucks retook the lead as Zack Kassian scored, with the help of Linden Vey and Brad Richardson. Vancouver added on with a Radim Vrbata goal, made possible by Henrik Sedin and Daniel Sedin. The Flames got one back with a Jiri Hudler goal, guided in by Sean Monahan and Mark Giordano. The Canucks iced it at 4-2 in the third period with an empty net goal from Henrik Sedin, set up by Tanev and Richardson. The three stars were Henrik Sedin, Tanev, and Richardson.
Finally, the Los Angeles Kings host the San Jose Sharks. Antti Niemi and Jonathan Quick draw the starts in goal. San Jose was first to score in the first period with a Tommy Wingels goal, made possible by Tye McGinn and Jason Demers. The Sharks added on in the second period with a Patrick Marleau power play goal, powered by Brent Burns and Marc-Edouard Vlasic. San Jose extended the lead with a Wingels goal, his second of the night, with a lone assist from Burns. The Sharks padded the lead on a Matthew Nieto goal, via Marleau. Martin Jones relieved Quick for the third period. San Jose cruised to a 4-0 victory, and the three stars were Wingels, Niemi (34 save shutout), and Marleau, while Burns gets an honorable mention.
