NHL 2017-18 Day 19

Just one game today, as the Detroit Red Wings host the Vancouver Canucks. Jacob Markstrom and Jimmy Howard protect the nets. Vancouver struck first in the first period with a Sven Baertschi goal, assisted by Bo Horvat and Brock Boeser. Detroit tied it on an Anthony Mantha goal, his fourth of the season, coming off of Gustav Nyquist and Mike Green. The Canucks retook the lead in the second period with a Derek Dorsett goal, his fifth of the year, passed from Horvat and Derrick Pouliot. Vancouver added on with a Baertschi goal, his second of the game, via Alex Burmistrov. The Canucks extended the lead as Jake Virtanen scored, thanks to Daniel Sedin. This stood for an eventual 4-1 win, with the three stars given to Baertschi, Horvat, and Markstrom (20 for 21 in saves).
