Three games on tonight, beginning in...
New York, as the Rangers host the Florida Panthers. Roberto Luongo and Henrik Lundqvist tend the twines. Florida led off in the first period on an Aleksander Barkov goal, his sixth of the season, via Brad Boyes. New York tied it on a shorthanded and unassisted Rick Nash goal, his thirtieth of the year. The Rangers took the lead with a Kevin Hayes power play goal in the second period, his seventh of the season, powered by Mats Zuccarello and Ryan McDonagh. New York added on with a Marc Staal goal, his third of the year, courtesy of Jesper Fast and Carl Hagelin. The Panthers pulled back on a Dave Bolland goal, his second of the season, assisted by Sean Bergenheim and Jussi Jokinen. Florida tied it with a Brandon Pirri power play goal, his seventh of the year, guided in by Bolland and Boyes. The Rangers retook the lead in the third period with an unassisted Dan Boyle goal, his sixth of the season. New York extended the lead as Zuccarello scored his eighth of the year, made possible by Chris Kreider and Derick Brassard. The Rangers iced it at 6-3 on a Nash goal, his second of the game and thirty-first of the campaign, an empty net goal set up by Derek Stepan. The three stars went to Nash, Zuccarello, and Bolland, while Boyes gets an honorable mention.
West to Calgary, where the Flames welcome the Winnipeg Jets. Michael Hutchinson and Jonas Hiller draw the starts. Winnipeg started in the first period with a Blake Wheeler goal, his fourteenth of the season, fueled by Bryan Little and Andrew Ladd. Calgary tied it on a David Jones goal, his eighth of the year, with a lone assist by Mark Giordano. The Flames took the lead in the second period on a Mason Raymond goal, his seventh of the season, helped along by Sven Baertschi. Calgary added on in the third period with a power play goal by Raphael Diaz, powered by Lance Bouma and Joe Colborne. The Flames extended the lead on a Brandon Bolling goal, guided in by Colborne and Paul Byron. The Jets got one back as Little scored, his nineteenth of the year, thanks to Ladd and Ben Chiarot. Calgary iced it at 5-2 on a Sean Monahan empty net goal, his seventeenth of the campaign, set up by Johnny Gaudreau and Kris Russell. The three stars belonged to Little, Colborne, and Ladd.
Finally, the San Jose Sharks bring in the Edmonton Oilers. Viktor Fasth and Antti Niemi are in the blue paint. San Jose opened in the first period on a power play goal by Joe Pavelski, his twenty-sixth of the season, powered by Patrick Marleau and Joe Thornton. Edmonton tied it on a Jordan Eberle goal, his fourteenth of the year, coming off of Taylor Hall and Oscar Klefbom. The Oilers took the lead in the second period on an Eberle goal, his second of the game and fifteenth of the season, courtesy of Justin Schultz and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins. Edmonton added on with a Derek Roy goal, his fifth of the year, with a lone assist by Nail Yakupov. The Sharks got one back in the third period on a Scott Hannan goal, via Thornton and Pavelski. San Jose tied it on a Matt Tennyson goal, his second of the season, assisted by Tyler Kennedy and Matthew Nieto. The Sharks took the lead on Pavelski's second of the game and twenty-seventh of the year, helped along by Brent Burns and Thornton, the latter getting a sock trick. The Oilers retied it on a Schultz goal, his fourth of the season, with helpers provided by Teddy Purcell and Anton Lander. In the shootout, Burns and Nugent-Hopkins cancelled each other out, before a Rob Klinkhammer goal in the thirteenth round sealed a 5-4 Oilers victory. The three stars went to Eberle, Pavelski, and Schultz, while Thornton gets an honorable mention.
