We've got a very light day for hockey, with just three total games. We'll begin with...

Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod hosting Salavat Yulaev Ufa. Niklas Svedberg and Ilya Proskuryakov are the goalies. Nizhny Novgorod began in the first period with an Artyom Alyayev goal, via Dmitry Semin on the power play. Ufa tied it in the second period with a Zakhar Arzamastsev goal, passed from Enver Lisin and Evgeny Bodrov. Salavat Yulaev took the lead with a Kirill Kaprizov goal, assisted by Linus Omark and Teemu Hartikainen. Ufa added on in the third period with a Hartikainen goal, coming off of Sami Lepisto and Omark. Torpedo got one back with a Nikolai Zherdev goal, helped along by Kirill Rasskazov and Alexander Frolov. The game ended at 3-2, with the three stars going to Hartikainen, Omark, and Kaprizov.

Out in Latvia, Dinamo Riga welcomes Ak Bars Kazan. Emil Garipov and Janis Kalnins are the goalies. Riga led off in the first period with an Oskars Cibulskis goal, made possible by Guntis Galvins and Nikolajs Jelisejevs. Dinamo added on in the second period with a shorthanded goal by Maris Bicevskis, set up by Galvins. This held up for a 2-0 final, with the three stars given to Kalnins (24 save shutouts), Galvins, and Bicevskis.

In the NHL, the New York Islanders bring in the Tampa Bay Lightning. Andrei Vasilevskiy and Jaroslav Halak are given the starts in goal. Tampa Bay struck first in the first period with a J.T. Brown goal, his second of the season, via Cedric Paquette and Braydon Coburn. The Lightning added on with a Ryan Callahan goal, fueled by Andrej Sustr and Victor Hedman. Tampa Bay extended the lead in the second period as Nikita Kucherov scored his sixth of the year, thanks to Steven Stamkos. The Lightning padded the lead with a Vladislav Namestnikov goal, his third of the season, guided in by Stamkos and Kucherov. The game ended at 4-0, with the three stars awarded to Vasilevskiy (34 save shutout), Kucherov, and Stamkos.
