2016/17 Hockey - KHL Day 63/NHL Day 13

With just two games in each league, it's a small enough day to combine the output into one post. We begin with the KHL, starting in...

China, as Kunlun Red Star Beijing hosts Lokomotiv Yaroslavl in Shanghai. Anton Krasotkin and Artyom Zagidulin are the backups in goal. Yaroslavl started with an Ilya Lyubushkin goal, courtesy of Petri Kontiola and Brandon Kozun. Beijing tied it in the second period with a Martin Bakos goal, passed from Linus Videll. Kunlun Red Star took the lead in the third period with a Videll goal, made possible by Tobias Viklund. Beijing added on with a Tuukka Mantyla goal, assisted by Tomas Marcinko and Igor Velichkin. The game ended at 3-1, with the three stars going to Videll, Zagidulin (31 for 32 in saves), and Bakos.

The other KHL game sees Spartak Moscow welcome Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod. Ilya Proskuryakov and Markus Svensson are in the creases. Moscow opened in the first period with a Ryan Stoa goal, guided in by the goalie Svensson and Lukas Radil. Spartak added on in the second period with a Sergei Shmelyov goal, coming off of Anatoly Nikontsev. Moscow extended the lead as Mikhail Plotnikov scored, thanks to Alexander Vasilyev and Artyom Voronin. Ivan Kasutin replaced Proskuryakov. The final held at 3-0, with the three stars given to Svensson (17 save shutout), Stoa, and Shmelyov.

In the NHL, the Montreal Canadiens bring in the Philadelphia Flyers. Steve Mason and Carey Price are the masked men. Montreal got going in the second period with a Shea Weber goal, his second of the season, assisted by Alexander Radulov and Artturi Lehkonen. Philadelphia tied it on a Jakub Voracek goal, his third of the year, fueled by Claude Giroux and Brandon Manning. The Canadiens took the lead with a Brendan Gallagher power play goal, his fourth of the season, powered by Radulov and Weber. Montreal iced it at 3-1 with a Radulov empty net goal, set up by Alexei Emelin. The three stars went to Radulov, Weber, and Price (31 for 32 in saves).

Finally, the Chicago Blackhawks host the Calgary Flames. Brian Elliott and Corey Crawford are between the pipes. Calgary struck first in the first period with a Sam Bennett power play goal, powered by Dougie Hamilton and Micheal Ferland. Chicago tied it in the second period with a Patrick Kane goal, his second of the season, with a lone assist by Artem Anisimov. The Flames retook the lead with a Sean Monahan power play goal, his third of the year, guided in by Troy Brouwer and Mark Giordano. The Blackhawks tied it again with a Brian Campbell goal, going in unassisted. In the shootout, Kris Versteeg had the only tally to lift the Flames to a 3-2 win. The three stars went to Monahan, Bennett, and Elliott (31 for 33 in saves).
