Three games tonight, with the first in...
Philadelphia, as the Flyers host the Tampa Bay Lightning. Evgeni Nabokov and Rob Zepp are the backups in goal. Philadelphia struck first in the first period on a Chris VandeVelde goal, his third of the season, coming off of Luke Schenn and Claude Giroux. Tampa Bay tied it on a Steven Stamkos goal, his twenty-third of the year, coming on the power play from Tyler Johnson and Anton Stralman. The Flyers retook the lead on an R.J. Umberger goal, his seventh of the season, via Matt Read and Braydon Coburn. Philadelphia added on with a second period power play goal by Jakub Voracek, his seventeenth of the year, powered by Mark Streit and Giroux. The Flyers extended the lead with a Pierre-Edouard Bellemare goal, his fourth of the season, passed from VandeVelde and Michael Del Zotto. Ben Bishop replaced Nabokov in goal. Philadelphia padded the lead on a Streit goal, his fifth of the year, a power play goal made possible by Brayden Schenn and Wayne Simmonds. The Flyers kept going on a Brayden Schenn goal, his tenth of the season, a power play goal helped along by Streit and Voracek. Philadelphia continued on a Michael Raffl goal, his eleventh of the year, driven in by Scott Laughton and Simmonds. The Lightning got one back with a Brian Boyle goal, his eighth of the season, with assists provided by Cedric Paquette and Stralman. Tampa Bay pulled closer in the third period on a Ryan Callahan power play goal, his thirteenth of the year, pushed through by Jonathan Drouin and Valtteri Filppula. This produced the 7-3 final, with the three stars given to VandeVelde, Streit, and Brayden Schenn, while Giroux, Simmonds, Voracek, and Stralman get the honorable mentions.
In DC, the Washington Capitals welcome the Colorado Avalanche. Semyon Varlamov faces his former team and Braden Holtby in goal. Washington was first to score in the first period on a Jay Beagle goal, his sixth of the season, courtesy of Jason Chimera and Tom Wilson. Colorado tied it on an Alex Tanguay goal in the second period, his thirteenth of the year, assisted by Jarome Iginla and Tyson Barrie. The Capitals took the lead on an Alex Ovechkin goal, his twenty-second of the campaign, a power play goal powered by Troy Brouwer and Nicklas Backstrom. This made it 2-1, the eventual final, with the three stars going to Holtby (31 for 32 in saves), Ovechkin, and Beagle.
Finally, the Los Angeles Kings bring in the Toronto Maple Leafs. Jonathan Bernier and Martin Jones are the goalies. Los Angeles started in the first period on an Anze Kopitar goal, his tenth of the season, fueled by Drew Doughty and Jeff Carter. The Kings iced it at 2-0 in the third period on a Marian Gaborik empty net goal, his fourteenth of the year, set up by Kopitar and Carter. The three stars were awarded to Kopitar, Jones (19 save shutout), and Carter.
