Today, we have two games of hockey, down from yesterday's 25 across two leagues. We begin in...
Pittsburgh, with the Penguins welcoming the Montreal Canadiens. Mike Condon and Marc-Andre Fleury are in the creases. Pittsburgh led off in the first period on a Pascal Dupuis goal, his second of the season, assisted by Sidney Crosby and Beau Bennett. Montreal tied it on an Andrei Markov power play goal, his second of the year, powered by P.K. Subban and Tomas Plekanec. Jeff Zatkoff relieved Fleury later in the opening frame after an errant high stick cut the latter. Fleury returned shortly thereafter. The Penguins took the lead on an Olli Maatta goal, his second of the season, via Phil Kessel and Evgeni Malkin. The Canadiens tied it in the second period on a Brendan Gallagher goal, his seventh of the year, courtesy of Max Pacioretty. Montreal took the lead as Brian Flynn scored his second of the season, coming off of Torrey Mitchell and Subban. Pittsburgh tied it in the third period on a Patric Hornqvist goal, his third of the year, helped along by Crosby and Kris Letang. In the shootout, David Perron and Crosby lifted the Penguins to a 4-3 win. The three stars went to Crosby, Subban, and Hornqvist.
The other game sees the Anaheim Ducks bringing in the Edmonton Oilers. Anders Nilsson and Frederik Andersen draw the starts in goal. Anaheim began in the first period on a Corey Perry power play goal, his third of the season, powered by Rickard Rakell and Hampus Lindholm. Edmonton tied it on a Leon Draisaitl power play goal in the second period, his fourth of the year, guided in by Benoit Pouliot and Darnell Nurse. The Ducks took the lead back in the third period on a Shawn Horcoff goal, his second of the season, fueled by Cam Fowler and Chris Stewart. The Oilers tied it again as Oscar Klefbom scored his third of the year, with the help of Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Draisaitl. Anaheim retook the lead on a Perry goal, his second of the game and fourth of the season, helped along by Rakell and Sami Vatanen. Edmonton got an equalizer on a Nugent-Hopkins goal, his sixth of the year, made possible by Draisaitl and Taylor Hall. The Oilers won with a Teddy Purcell goal in overtime, taking the 4-3 game on his third of the campaign, courtesy of Andrej Sekera and the goalie Nilsson. The three stars belonged to Draisaitl, Nugent-Hopkins, and Perry, while Rakell gets an honorable mention.
