Four games tonight, with the first in...
Boston, as the Bruins host the Pittsburgh Penguins. Marc-Andre Fleury and Tuukka Rask guard the cages. Pittsburgh led off in the first period on a Sidney Crosby goal, his ninth of the season, assisted by Craig Adams and Kris Letang. Boston tied it on a Milan Lucic goal in the second period, his fourth of the year, via Loui Eriksson and Carl Soderberg. The Bruins took the lead on a Joe Morrow goal, coming off of Dougie Hamilton and Simon Gagne. The Penguins tied it with an Evgeni Malkin power play goal, his ninth of the season, powered by Letang and Crosby. Pittsburgh won 3-2 in overtime with a Malkin goal, his second of the game and tenth of the year, courtesy of Crosby and Letang, the latter getting a sock trick. The three stars were given to Malkin, Crosby, and Letang.
Down in New York, the Islanders welcome the Philadelphia Flyers. Steve Mason and Jaroslav Halak protect the nets. They did this well, forcing the game to the shootout without surrendering a goal. In the shootout, Frans Nielsen and John Tavares won it with tallies for the Islanders. The three stars went to Mason (46 save "shutout"), Halak (21 save shutout), and Tavares.
West to Detroit, where the Red Wings bring in the Ottawa Senators. Craig Anderson and Jimmy Howard are the veteran goalies. Ottawa began in the first period with a Kyle Turris power play goal, his fourth of the season, powered by Erik Karlsson and Bobby Ryan. Detroit tied it on a Gustav Nyquist power play goal, his tenth of the year, guided in by Henrik Zetterberg and Niklas Kronwall. The Red Wings took the lead on a Riley Sheahan goal, his fourth of the season, coming in the second period on the power play from Tomas Tatar and the goalie Howard. Detroit added on with a Stephen Weiss goal, passed from Kyle Quincey and Danny DeKeyser. The Red Wings extended the lead on a Weiss goal, his second of the game, made possible by Darren Helm and Tomas Jurco. The Senators got one back in the third period on a Karlsson goal, his sixth of the year, fueled by Turris and Jared Cowen. Ottawa pulled closer with a Chris Neil goal, his third of the campaign, with assists provided by Mike Hoffman and Zack Smith. This only made it 4-3, the final, with the three stars going to Weiss, Karlsson, and Turris.
Finally, the Florida Panthers host the Minnesota Wild. Niklas Backstrom and Roberto Luongo are between the pipes. Minnesota struck first in the first period on a Jason Zucker goal, his seventh of the season, courtesy of Mikko Koivu. The Wild added on with an unassisted Nino Niederreiter goal, his tenth of the year. Florida got on the board in the second period with a Shawn Thornton goal, coming off of Dmitry Kulikov. Minnesota shot back with a Zucker goal, his second of the game and eighth of the season, with a lone assist by Koivu. The Wild finished it at 4-1 with a Zach Parise empty net goal, his eighth of the year, set up by Jason Pominville and Ryan Suter. The three stars went to Zucker, Koivu, and Backstrom (29 for 30 in saves).
