NHL 2018/19 - Day 3

Just a pair of games on tonight in a slow day of hockey. We begin with...

The Columbus Blue Jackets welcoming the Carolina Hurricanes. Curtis McElhinney is mismatched with Sergei Bobrovsky in goal. Carolina opened in the first period with a Jordan Martinook goal, via Andrei Svechnikov. Columbus tied it on a Brandon Dubinsky goal, passed from David Savard. The Hurricanes retook the lead in the second period with a Sebastian Aho goal, coming off of Teuvo Teravainen and Micheal Ferland. Carolina added on in the third period with a Ferland goal, with a lone assist from Aho. This stood for a 3-1 win, with the three stars awarded to Aho, McElhinney (31 for 32 in saves), and Ferland.

On the west coast, the Los Angeles Kings bring in the San Jose Sharks. Martin Jones and Jonathan Quick are the masked men. San Jose started in the first period with a Timo Meier goal, courtesy of Marc-Edouard Vlasic and Joe Thornton. The Sharks added on with an Evander Kane goal, his second of the season, via Antti Suomela and Joonas Donskoi. Los Angeles got on the board with an Anze Kopitar goal, assisted by Alex Iafallo and Derek Forbort. The Kings tied it in the second period on a Tyler Toffoli goal, guided in by Tanner Pearson. San Jose won 3-2 with a Kevin Labanc goal in overtime, made possible by Logan Couture and Erik Karlsson. The three stars went to Labanc, Kane, and Meier.
