2015-16 NHL Season - Day 102

Three games on today, beginning with...

The Detroit Red Wings hosting the St. Louis Blues. Brian Elliott and Petr Mrazek are the masked men. St. Louis opened in the first period on a Ty Rattie goal, his third of the season, assisted by Alex Pietrangelo and David Backes. The Blues added on in the third period on a Dmitrij Jaskin goal, his third of the year, coming off of Backes and Pietrangelo. Detroit got on the board with a Henrik Zetterberg power play goal, his eighth of the campaign, powered by Mike Green. This made it 2-1, the final, with the three stars given to Elliott (29 for 30 in saves), Backes, and Pietrangelo.

Over in Colorado, the Avalanche welcome the Buffalo Sabres. Robin Lehner and Semyon Varlamov are in the creases. Buffalo got going in the second period on an Evander Kane power play goal, his tenth of the season, powered by Jack Eichel and Ryan O'Reilly. Colorado tied it in the third period with an Alex Tanguay goal, his third of the year, fueled by Carl Soderberg and Francois Beauchemin. The Avalanche took the lead on a Beauchemin goal, his sixth of the campaign, assisted by Tanguay. The three stars were awarded to Beauchemin, Tanguay, and Varlamov (27 for 28 in saves).

Over in Anaheim, the Ducks bring in the Minnesota Wild. Devan Dubnyk and John Gibson receive the starting nods. Minnesota started in the first period on a Jarret Stoll goal, his second of the season, made possible by Erik Haula. Anaheim tied it with a Chris Stewart goal, his seventh of the year, helped along by Shea Theodore and David Perron. The Ducks took the lead on a Rickard Rakell goal, his tenth of the season, via Patrick Maroon and Corey Perry. Anaheim iced it at 3-1 with a Jakob Silfverberg empty net goal, his sixth of the year, set up by Andrew Cogliano and Ryan Kesler. The three stars belonged to Rakell, Stewart, and Gibson (25 for 26 in saves).
