Just two games today, both game 6s, beginning with...
The Minnesota Wild hosting the St. Louis Blues. Jake Allen and Devan Dubnyk are the goalies. Minnesota opened in the first period with a Zach Parise shorthanded goal, his second of the postseason, going in unassisted. The Wild added on with a second period Justin Fontaine goal, fueled by Marco Scandella. Allen was pulled for Brian Elliott. St. Louis got on the board as T.J. Oshie scored, thanks to Kevin Shattenkirk and Alex Pietrangelo. Minnesota replied in the third period on a Parise goal, his second of the game and third of the playoffs, assisted by Jason Pominville and Mikael Granlund. Minnesota won 4-1 with a Nino Niederreiter empty net goal, his third of the postseason, set up by Mikko Koivu. The three stars were Parise, Fontaine, and Dubnyk (30 for 31 in saves). The Wild advance with a 4-2 series win to face the Chicago Blackhawks for the Central Division title.
The other game sees the Ottawa Senators host the Montreal Canadiens. Carey Price and Craig Anderson are the masked men. Montreal started with a Brendan Gallagher goal, fueled by Greg Pateryn and Tomas Plekanec. The Canadiens iced it at 2-0 with a Max Pacioretty empty net goal, his second of the playoffs, set up by P.K. Subban. The three stars went to Price (43 save shutout), Gallagher, and Pacioretty. The Canadiens advance to the Atlantic Division final, awaiting either the Lightning or Red Wings.
