All Game 4s today, beginning with a sweep opportunity in...
Ottawa, as the Senators host the Montreal Canadiens. Carey Price and Craig Anderson are the veteran goalies. Ottawa dented the scoreboard in the third period on a Mike Hoffman goal, via Cody Ceci. This was good for a 1-0 win, with the three stars going to Anderson (28 save shutout), Hoffman, and Price (31 for 32 in saves). The Senators staved off elimination but trail 3-1 in the series.
Down in Pittsburgh, the Penguins welcome the New York Rangers. Henrik Lundqvist and Marc-Andre Fleury protect the nets. Pittsburgh was first to score in the first period on a Patric Hornqvist goal, his second of the postseason, assisted by Ben Lovejoy and Paul Martin. New York tied it in the second period on a Derick Brassard goal, his third of the playoffs, via Rick Nash and Ryan McDonagh. The Rangers won 2-1 in overtime with a Kevin Hayes goal, fueled by Carl Hagelin and Martin St. Louis. The three stars went to Lundqvist (22 for 23 in saves), Hayes, and Brassard. The Rangers push the Penguins to the brink with a 3-1 series lead.
Northwest to Winnipeg, as the Jets bring in the Anaheim Ducks. Frederik Andersen and Ondrej Pavelec are set to start in goal. Winnipeg led off in the first period on a Bryan Little goal, his second of the postseason, coming on the power play from Mathieu Perreault and Dustin Byfuglien. Anaheim tied it with an Emerson Etem goal, guided in by Sami Vatanen and Corey Perry. The Ducks took the lead on a second period goal by Andrew Cogliano, assisted by Perry and Hampus Lindholm. Anaheim added on in the third period with a Ryan Kesler goal, his second of the playoffs, courtesy of Simon Despres and Tomas Fleischmann. The Jets got one back on a Mark Stuart goal, made possible by Andrew Ladd and Little. The Ducks replied with Kesler's second of the game and third of the postseason, fueled by Jakob Silfverberg and Patrick Maroon. Anaheim iced it at 5-2 with a Vatanen empty net goal, going in unassisted. The three stars went to Kesler, Little, and Vatanen, while Perry got an honorable mention. The Ducks swept the Jets out of the playoffs with a 4-0 series win.
Finally, the Minnesota Wild host the St. Louis Blues. Jake Allen and Devan Dubnyk man the creases. St. Louis began in the first period with a Ryan Reaves goal, passed from Alex Pietrangelo and Chris Porter. The Blues added on with a Vladimir Tarasenko goal, his fourth of the postseason, via Kevin Shattenkirk and David Backes. St. Louis extended the lead as Backes scored, thanks to Shattenkirk and T.J. Oshie. Minnesota got one back in the second period on a Jared Spurgeon power play goal, powered by Nino Niederreiter and Mikael Granlund. The Blues shot back with a Paul Stastny goal, made possible by Patrik Berglund and Dmitrij Jaskin. St. Louis padded the lead on a Tarasenko goal, his second of the game and fifth of the playoffs, dished from Jori Lehtera and Shattenkirk, the latter getting a sock trick. The Blues kept going on a Berglund goal, his second of the postseason, going in unassisted. The final stood at 6-1, with the three stars going to Tarasenko, Shattenkirk, and Backes, while Berglund gets an honorable mention. The series returns to St. Louis tied at 2.
