NHL 2016/17 - Day 43

Just two games today as the United States celebrates Thanksgiving. We begin in...

Montreal, with the Canadiens hosting the Carolina Hurricanes. Cam Ward and Carey Price man the nets. Carolina started in the first period with an Elias Lindholm goal, his second of the season, passed from Victor Rask and Brett Pesce. Montreal tied it on an Andrew Shaw goal, his fourth of the year, coming off of Charles Hudon and David Desharnais. The Canadiens took the lead in the third period on a Max Pacioretty goal, his fifth of the campaign, courtesy of Tomas Plekanec and Brendan Gallagher. This stood for a 2-1 win, with the three stars going to Price (31 for 32 in saves), Pacioretty, and Shaw.

The other game has the Ottawa Senators hosting the Boston Bruins. Tuukka Rask and Craig Anderson are the masked men. Boston opened in the first period with a David Pastrnak power play goal, his eleventh of the season, powered by Matt Beleskey and Brad Marchand. Ottawa tied it in the second period with a Mark Stone goal, his fifth of the year, assisted by Mike Hoffman and Dion Phaneuf. The Senators took the lead in the third period with an unassisted goal by Chris Wideman. Ottawa added on with a Kyle Turris goal, his ninth of the campaign, made possible by Bobby Ryan. The game ended at 3-1, with the three stars being Wideman, Turris, and Anderson (19 for 20 in saves).
