NHL 2017-18 Day 20

Just two games for today, beginning with...

The New York Rangers welcoming the San Jose Sharks. Martin Jones and Henrik Lundqvist are the masked men. San Jose opened in the first period with a Logan Couture goal, his seventh of the season, assisted by Brent Burns and Mikkel Boedker. The Sharks added on with a Tim Heed goal, passed from Tomas Hertl and Marc-Edouard Vlasic. San Jose extended the lead in the second period as Joonas Donskoi scored his second of the year, thanks to Joe Thornton and Joe Pavelski. The Sharks padded the lead in the third period with a Melker Karlsson goal, his second of the season, coming off of Couture. New York got on the board with a Mika Zibanejad goal, his sixth of the year, via Pavel Buchnevich. This only made it 4-1, the final, with the three stars given to Couture, Jones (33 for 34 in saves), and Heed.

The other game saw the Toronto Maple Leafs bring in the Los Angeles Kings. Jonathan Quick and Frederik Andersen protect the nets. Toronto started in the first period with a Matt Martin goal, fueled by Roman Polak and Mitchell Marner. The Maple Leafs added on in the second period with a Tyler Bozak power play goal, his second of the season, powered by James van Riemsdyk and Marner. Los Angeles got on the board with an Adrian Kempe goal, his fourth of the year, guided in by Trevor Lewis and Drew Doughty. Toronto replied in the third period with a Patrick Marleau goal, his fourth of the season, made possible by Morgan Rielly and Nazem Kadri. The Kings got one back with a shorthanded and unassisted Lewis goal, his third of the campaign. They couldn't find an equalizer, the final being 3-2, with the three stars given to Lewis, Marner, and Andersen (36 for 38 in saves).
