Two games tonight on a very short schedule. We begin with...
The New York Islanders welcoming the Ottawa Senators. Andrew Hammond and Jean-Francois Berube are the backups in goal. New York got going in the second period with a John Tavares goal, his twenty-seventh of the season, passed from Josh Bailey and Calvin de Haan. The Islanders added on with a Matt Martin goal, his eighth of the year, via Travis Hamonic and Nick Leddy. New York extended the lead as Brock Nelson scored his twenty-fourth of the season, thanks to Shane Prince and Anders Lee. Ottawa got on the board in the third period with a Mark Stone goal, his twenty-third of the year, assisted by Erik Karlsson and Ryan Dzingel. This only made it 3-1, the final, with the three stars going to Martin, Nelson, and Berube (22 for 23 in saves).
We end with the New York Rangers bringing in the Boston Bruins. Tuukka Rask and Henrik Lundqvist tend the twines. New York struck first in the first period with a Mats Zuccarello power play goal, his twenty-fourth of the season, powered by Keith Yandle and Derek Stepan. The Rangers added on with a Stepan power play goal, his seventeenth of the year, made possible by Yandle the goalie Lundqvist. Jonas Gustavsson relieved Rask for the second period. New York extended the lead as Derick Brassard scored his twenty-sixth of the season, with the help of Kevin Klein and Jesper Fast. Boston got on the board with a Lee Stempniak goal, his eighteenth of the year, helped along by Brad Marchand and Patrice Bergeron. The Rangers answered in the third period with a J.T. Miller goal, his twentieth of the season, guided in by Stepan and Zuccarello. Boston shot back with a Frank Vatrano goal, his seventh of the year, with helpers provided by Loui Eriksson and Zdeno Chara. New York iced it at 5-2 on a Rick Nash empty net goal, his fourteenth of the campaign, going in unassisted. The three stars were awarded to Stepan, Zuccarello, and Yandle.
