2015-16 NHL Season - Day 83

Two games on at different ends of the day, with the first being...

The Winter Classic from Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Massachusetts. The Boston Bruins welcome the Montreal Canadiens. Mike Condon and Tuukka Rask are set to start in goal. Montreal led off in the first period with a David Desharnais goal, his eighth of the season, coming off of Dale Weise and Alexei Emelin. The Canadiens added on with a Paul Byron goal in the second period, his sixth of the year, via Brian Flynn and Mark Barberio. Montreal extended the lead as Brendan Gallagher scored his tenth of the season, thanks to Max Pacioretty and Tomas Plekanec. Boston got on the board with a Matt Beleskey goal in the third period, his eighth of the year, fueled by Adam McQuaid and Ryan Spooner. The Canadiens answered on a Pacioretty goal, his sixteenth of the season, guided in by Gallagher and Plekanec. Montreal finished it with a Byron goal, his second of the game and seventh of the year, assisted by P.K. Subban and Nathan Beaulieu. The three stars of the 5-1 game were Byron, Gallagher, and Pacioretty, while Plekanec gets an honorable mention.

Nine hours after the start of the Winter Classic, the Vancouver Canucks bring in the Anaheim Ducks. Frederik Andersen and Jacob Markstrom are in goal. Anaheim got going in the second period on a Ryan Kesler power play goal, his fifth of the season, powered by Chris Stewart and Mike Santorelli. Vancouver tied it with a Christopher Tanev goal in the third period, his second of the year, via Alexander Burrows and Linden Vey. In the shootout, Burrows scored to give the Canucks a 2-1 win. The three stars went to Burrows, Markstrom (27 for 28 in saves), and Andersen (24 for 25 in saves).
