Just two games are on tonight. We begin with...

The Chicago Blackhawks welcoming the Toronto Maple Leafs. Frederik Andersen and Jeff Glass are the goalies. Chicago opened in the first period with a Brent Seabrook power play goal, his third of the season, powered by Patrick Kane and Nick Schmaltz. Toronto tied it on a Mitchell Marner goal, his seventh of the year, guided in by Jake Gardiner and Ron Hainsey. The Maple Leafs took the lead in the third period with a Nazem Kadri power play goal, his fifteenth of the season, with assists provided by Tyler Bozak and James van Riemsdyk. The Blackhawks tied it again with a Schmaltz power play goal, his thirteenth of the year, passed from Artem Anisimov and Vinnie Hinostroza. Toronto won 3-2 in overtime with a William Nylander penalty shot goal, his tenth of the campaign. The three stars were Andersen (34 for 36 in saves), Schmaltz, and Nylander.

The other game sees the Calgary Flames bring in the Los Angeles Kings. Darcy Kuemper and Mike Smith make the starts in goal. Calgary led off in the first period with a Sean Monahan goal, his twenty-second of the season, made possible by Johnny Gaudreau and Micheal Ferland. Los Angeles tied it in the third period with a Jake Muzzin power play goal, his fifth of the year, powered by Anze Kopitar and Drew Doughty. The Kings won 2-1 in overtime with a Tanner Pearson goal, his tenth of the campaign, assisted by Doughty and Dustin Brown. The three stars went to Doughty, Kuemper (30 for 31 in saves), and Pearson.
