Just three games on tonight, beginning with...
The Washington Capitals hosting the Toronto Maple Leafs. Jonathan Bernier and Philipp Grubauer are in the blue paint. Washington opened in the first period with a Taylor Chorney goal, assisted by T.J. Oshie and Evgeny Kuznetsov. The Capitals added on with an Alex Ovechkin goal, his forty-first of the season, coming off of Nicklas Backstrom and Oshie. Toronto got on the board in the second period with a Nikita Soshnikov goal, passed from Nazem Kadri and Matt Hunwick. The Maple Leafs tied it in the third period with a Colin Greening goal, his second of the year, made possible by Peter Holland and Connor Carrick. Washington regained the lead with a Matt Niskanen power play goal, his fifth of the campaign, powered by Backstrom and Oshie, the latter earning a sock trick. This made it 3-2, the final, with the three stars awarded to Oshie, Backstrom, and Niskanen.
Over in Detroit, the Red Wings welcome the Chicago Blackhawks. Corey Crawford and Petr Mrazek tend the twines. Chicago started in the first period with a Brent Seabrook goal, his thirteenth of the season, courtesy of Erik Gustafsson and Teuvo Teravainen. The Blackhawks added on in the second period with an Artemi Panarin power play goal, his twenty-third of the year, powered by Patrick Kane and Seabrook. Chicago extended the lead as Kane scored on the power play, his thirty-seventh of the season, assisted by Seabrook and Duncan Keith. Detroit got on the board with a Brad Richards power play goal in the third period, his eighth of the year, via Mike Green and Tomas Tatar. The Blackhawks fired back with an Andrew Ladd goal, his eighteenth of the season, helped along by Keith and Seabrook, the latter getting a sock trick. Chicago padded the lead on a Panarin goal, his second of the game and twenty-fourth of the year, with a lone helper by Kane. The Red Wings pulled back with a Gustav Nyquist goal, his sixteenth of the season, guided in by Jonathan Ericsson and Riley Sheahan. This only made it 5-2, the final, with the three stars given to Seabrook, Panarin, and Kane, while Keith gets an honorable mention.
Finally, the Anaheim Ducks bring in the Montreal Canadiens. Mike Condon and John Gibson are the inexperienced goalies. Montreal got going in the second period with an Alex Galchenyuk goal, his eighteenth of the season, coming off of Andrei Markov and Lars Eller. Anaheim tied it with a Jamie McGinn goal, his fifteenth of the year, passed from Hampus Lindholm and Josh Manson. The Canadiens took the lead back in the third period with a Galchenyuk goal, his second of the game and nineteenth of the season, made possible by P.K. Subban and Alexei Emelin. The Ducks tied it with a Corey Perry power play goal, his twenty-seventh of the year, powered by David Perron and Cam Fowler.
