2015-16 NHL Season - Day 49

Just two games today, beginning with...

The Dallas Stars welcoming the Ottawa Senators. Craig Anderson and Antti Niemi are in goal. Ottawa led off in the first period with a Bobby Ryan goal, his eighth of the season, going in unassisted. The Senators added on with a Milan Michalek goal, his fifth of the year, courtesy of Jean-Gabriel Pageau and Mark Stone. Dallas got on the board with a Patrick Sharp goal in the second period, his eighth of the season, assisted by Cody Eakin and John Klingberg. Ottawa replied on a Stone goal, his fourth of the year, an unassisted goal. Kari Lehtonen replaced Niemi in goal. The Senators extended the lead as Mike Hoffman scored a power play goal, his seventh of the season, powered by Stone and Erik Karlsson. Niemi returned to the goal in the third period. Ottawa padded the lead on a shorthanded Pageau goal, his fifth of the year, set up by Curtis Lazar. The Stars got one back on a Jamie Benn shorthanded goal, his fifteenth of the season, coming off of Jordie Benn. Dallas pulled closer on a Tyler Seguin goal, his twelfth of the year, helped along by Jamie Benn. The Senators fired back with a Pageau goal, his second of the game and sixth of the season, with a lone helper by Alex Chiasson. The Stars answered on Jamie Benn's second of the game and sixteenth of the year, guided in by Sharp. Ottawa finished it at 7-4 with an empty net goal by Hoffman his second of the game and eighth of the campaign, going in unassisted. The three stars went to Pageau, Jamie Benn, and Stone, while Sharp and Hoffman get the honorable mentions.

The other game has the Anaheim Ducks bringing in the Calgary Flames. Karri Ramo and Anton Khudobin are the mediocre goalies. Calgary began in the first period on a Michael Frolik goal, his fifth of the season, passed from Kris Russell and Micheal Ferland. The Flames added on with a Sam Bennett goal, his fifth of the year, made possible by Mikael Backlund and Russell. John Gibson replaced Khudobin in goal. Anaheim got on the board with a Corey Perry power play goal, his sixth of the season, powered by Ryan Getzlaf and Cam Fowler. The Ducks tied it on a Rickard Rakell goal, his fourth of the year, via Sami Vatanen and Getzlaf. Calgary regained the lead on a second period goal by Frolik, his second of the game and sixth of the season, assisted by Bennett and Dennis Wideman. Anaheim tied it again in the third period on a Rakell goal, his second of the game and fifth of the year, fueled by Perry and Getzlaf, the latter getting a sock trick. The Ducks took the lead on Perry's second of the game and seventh of the season, a power play goal with helpers by Getzlaf and Fowler. Anaheim won 5-3 with a Ryan Kesler goal, his second of the year, courtesy of Getzlaf and Vatanen. The three stars belonged to Getzlaf, Perry, and Rakell, while Frolik, Bennett, Russell, Fowler, and Vatanen get the honorable mentions.
