Hockey November 30th, 2014

Since each of the KHL and NHL has just one game today, I'll condense the post. First up...

Jokerit Helsinki hosts Amur Khabarovsk. Sergei Borisov and Riku Helenius are in goal. Khabarovsk got going in the second period with a Michel Miklik power play goal, powered by Dmitry Tarasov. Helsinki tied it on a Steve Moses power play goal, with a lone assist by Ville Lajunen. Jokerit took the lead with a power play goal by Niko Kapanen, via Atte Ohtamaa and Niklas Hagman. Amur tied it on a power play goal by Mikhail Fisenko goal, assisted by Dmitry Lugin and Vladimir Loginov. Jokerit won 3-2 in the shootout with a Moses tally. The three stars went to Moses, Kapanen, and Helenius (19 for 21 in saves).

The NHL game is in Detroit, with the Red Wings hosting the Vancouver Canucks. Ryan Miller and Jimmy Howard tend the twines. Detroit opened in the first period with a Niklas Kronwall goal, his fourth of the season, courtesy of Jonathan Ericsson and Henrik Zetterberg. The Red Wings added on with a Gustav Nyquist power play goal, his eleventh of the year, powered by Zetterberg and Johan Franzen. Vancouver got on the board in the second period with an unassisted power play goal by Linden Vey, his fifth of the season. Detroit shot back with a Pavel Datsyuk power play goal, his eighth of the year, guided in by Tomas Tatar and Jakub Kindl. The Canucks replied in the third period on a Shawn Matthias goal, his fifth of the season, made possible by Yannick Weber and Vey. The Red Wings countered on a Danny DeKeyser goal, via Riley Sheahan and Tomas Jurco. Vancouver answered with a Vey goal, his second of the game and sixth of the year, fueled by Matthias and Brad Richardson. Detroit finished it at 5-3 with a Datsyuk empty net goal, his second of the game and ninth of the campaign, going in unassisted. The three stars went to Datsyuk, Vey, and Matthias, while Zetterberg gets an honorable mention.
