NHL February 4th, 2015

Three games on for a slow night, beginning in...

Edmonton, as the Oilers host the Pittsburgh Penguins. Marc-Andre Fleury and Viktor Fasth are in the blue paint. Pittsburgh got going in the second period on an Evgeni Malkin goal, his twentieth of the season, assisted by Mark Arcobello and Patric Hornqvist. The Penguins added on with a David Perron goal, his twelfth of the year, coming off of Kris Letang and Sidney Crosby. This held up for a 2-0 win, with the three stars going to Fleury (22 save shutout), Malkin, and Perron.

East to New York, as the Rangers welcome the Boston Bruins. Tuukka Rask and Cam Talbot are set to start. New York opened in the first period on a Rick Nash goal, his thirty-second of the season, courtesy of Martin St. Louis and Kevin Klein. Boston tied it on a Milan Lucic goal, his eleventh of the year, guided in by Reilly Smith and David Krejci. The Bruins took the lead with a Patrice Bergeron goal, his thirteenth of the season, coming off of Loui Eriksson. The Rangers tied it in the second period as Derick Brassard scored his thirteenth of the year, thanks to Chris Kreider and Mats Zuccarello. New York took the lead again on a Derek Stepan goal, his ninth of the season, via Nash and Dan Girardi. This was it for the scoring, with the final at 3-2, and the three stars were Nash, Stepan, and Brassard.

Back in Alberta, the Calgary Flames bring in the San Jose Sharks. Alex Stalock is mismatched with Jonas Hiller in goal. Calgary dented the scoreboard in the second period on a Kris Russell goal, fueled by Paul Byron and Josh Jooris. The Flames added on with a Jiri Hudler power play goal, his fifteenth of the season, powered by Johnny Gaudreau and Sean Monahan. Calgary extended the lead as Mason Raymond scored his eighth of the year, with the help of Joe Colborne and T.J. Brodie. San Jose got on the board with a John Scott goal, his second of the campaign, coming in the third period via Scott Hannan and Tyler Kennedy. This only made it 3-1, the final, with the three stars being Hiller (28 for 29 in saves), Hudler, and Raymond.
