2015-16 NHL Season - Day 118

Three games on for today, beginning in...

Detroit, with the Red Wings hosting the Ottawa Senators. Craig Anderson and Petr Mrazek protect the nets. Detroit opened in the first period with a Danny DeKeyser goal, his seventh of the season, helped along by Gustav Nyquist and Andreas Athanasiou. The Red Wings added on in the third period with a Henrik Zetterberg goal, his tenth of the year, coming off of Pavel Datsyuk. Ottawa got on the board with a Zack Smith power play goal, his twelfth of the season, powered by Mike Hoffman and Erik Karlsson. Detroit iced it at 3-1 with a Darren Helm empty net goal, his fifth of the year, an unassisted goal. The three stars went to Mrazek (22 for 23 in saves), Zetterberg, and DeKeyser.

Over in Pittsburgh, the Penguins welcome the New York Rangers. Henrik Lundqvist and Marc-Andre Fleury tend the twines. New York started with a Kevin Hayes goal, his eighth of the season, assisted by Tanner Glass and Keith Yandle. The Rangers added on with a Dominic Moore goal, his fifth of the year, fueled by Derek Stepan. New York iced it at 3-0 with a Jesper Fast empty net goal, his eighth of the campaign, going in unassisted. The three stars belonged to Lundqvist (34 save shutout), Hayes, and Moore.

Finally, the Arizona Coyotes bring in the Vancouver Canucks. Ryan Miller and Louis Domingue make the starts in goal. Vancouver drew first blood in the first period with a Jake Virtanen goal, his third of the season, courtesy of Jared McCann and Dan Hamhuis. Arizona tied it in the second period with a Martin Hanzal power play goal, his seventh of the season, powered by Max Domi and Anthony Duclair. The Canucks took the lead on a Jannik Hansen goal, his sixteenth of the year, made possible by Christopher Tanev and Henrik Sedin. This stood for a 2-1 final, with the three stars going to Miller (33 for 34 in saves), Hansen, and Virtanen.
