It's the tenth day of the playoffs, and we have three games to go through, beginning in...
Montreal, as the Canadiens host the Ottawa Senators. Craig Anderson and Carey Price are the veteran goalies. Ottawa led off on a Bobby Ryan goal, with assists provided by Mike Hoffman and Mika Zibanejad. The Senators added on with a Patrick Wiercioch goal, his second of the postseason, an unassisted goal. Ottawa extended the lead as Erik Karlsson scored a power play goal in the second period, powered by Kyle Turris and Mark Stone. Montreal got on the board with a Tom Gilbert goal in the third period, made possible by Greg Pateryn and Lars Eller. The Senators replied with an unassisted goal by Erik Condra. Ottawa padded the lead on a Ryan power play goal, his second of the game, via Hoffman and Zibanejad. This made it 5-1, the final, with the three stars given to Ryan, Anderson (45 for 46 in saves), and Hoffman, with Zibanejad getting an honorable mention. The series still favors the Canadiens 3-2.
Down in New York, the Rangers welcome the Pittsburgh Penguins. Marc-Andre Fleury and Henrik Lundqvist guard the cages. New York began in the first period on a power play goal by Derek Stepan, his second of the postseason, powered by Dan Boyle and Derick Brassard. Pittsburgh tied it in the second period on a Nick Spaling goal, passed from Steve Downie and Sidney Crosby. The Rangers won 2-1 with a Carl Hagelin goal in overtime, his second of the playoffs, assisted by Dominic Moore and Ryan McDonagh. The three stars went to Hagelin, Lundqvist (37 for 38 in saves), and Stepan. The Rangers won the series 4-1, eliminating the Penguins.
Finally, St. Louis brings in the Minnesota Wild. Devan Dubnyk and Jake Allen are the young goalies. St. Louis opened in the first period on a Vladimir Tarasenko goal, his sixth of the postseason, a power play goal powered by Alexander Steen and Jaden Schwartz. Minnesota tied it on a Marco Scandella goal, his second of the playoffs, courtesy of Jared Spurgeon. The Wild took the lead in the second period as Nino Niederreiter scored his second of the postseason, via Chris Stewart. Minnesota added on with a power play goal by Mikko Koivu, with helpers from Zach Parise and Ryan Suter. The Wild made it 4-1 with a Charlie Coyle goal in the third period, guided in by Thomas Vanek. This was a final, with the three stars handed to Niederreiter, Dubnyk (36 for 37 in saves), and Koivu. The Wild have a 3-2 series lead now.
