NHL 2018/19 - Day 12

We're back on a calm Sunday with the three games, the first a matinee from...

New Jersey, as the Devils host the San Jose Sharks. Martin Jones and Keith Kinkaid are in the blue paint. San Jose got going in the second period with a Joe Pavelski goal, his third of the season, coming off of Brent Burns and Evander Kane. New Jersey tied it on a Kyle Palmieri power play goal, his fifth of the year, powered by Taylor Hall and Sami Vatanen. The Sharks retook the lead with a Timo Meier goal, his third of the season, via Logan Couture and Tomas Hertl. The Devils tied it again with a Palmieri goal in the third period, his second of the game and sixth of the year, assisted by Andy Greene and Damon Severson. New Jersey pulled ahead with a Jean-Sebastien Dea goal, his second of the season, made possible by Mirco Mueller and Hall. This made it 3-2, the final, with the three stars belonging to Palmieri, Kinkaid (37 for 39 in saves), and Hall.

West to St. Louis, as the Blues welcome the Anaheim Ducks. Ryan Miller and Chad Johnson are the backups in goal. Anaheim started in the first period with a Jakob Silfverberg goal, his third of the season, via Max Comtois and Hampus Lindholm. St. Louis tied it in the second period with an Alexander Steen goal, his second of the year, courtesy of Joel Edmundson and Vladimir Tarasenko. The Blues took the lead with a Tyler Bozak power play goal, powered by Pat Maroon. The Ducks retied it with a Ben Street goal in the third period, his second of the campaign, made possible by Josh Manson and Cam Fowler. Anaheim pulled ahead with an Andrew Cogliano power play goal, with helpers from Ryan Kesler and Lindholm. This stood for a 3-2 win, with the three stars given to Lindholm, Miller (29 for 31 in saves), and Cogliano.

Finally, the Winnipeg Jets bring in the Carolina Hurricanes. Petr Mrazek and Laurent Brossoit draw the starts in goal. Winnipeg dented the scoreboard in the third period with a Patrik Laine power play goal, his second of the season, powered by Blake Wheeler and Josh Morrissey. Carolina tied it with a Micheal Ferland goal, his third of the year, fueled by Dougie Hamilton and Sebastian Aho. The Jets retook the lead on a Bryan Little goal, guided in by Morrissey. Winnipeg capped it at 3-1 with a Kyle Connor empty net goal, his fourth of the campaign, set up by Brandon Tanev. The three stars were Morrissey, Brossoit (42 for 43 in saves), and Little.
