Three games on tonight, beginning with...
The St. Louis Blues hosting the Edmonton Oilers. Cam Talbot and Jake Allen are the beleaguered goalies.

Edmonton got on the board in the second period with a Ryan Nugent-Hopkins goal, his seventh of the season, assisted by Darnell Nurse and Kris Russell. The Oilers tied it in the third period with an Oscar Klefbom goal, his third of the year, passed from Connor McDavid and Jujhar Khaira. Edmonton won 3-2 in the shootout with tallies by Nugent-Hopkins and McDavid overcoming Tyler Bozak's tally for St. Louis. The three stars were Nugent-Hopkins, McDavid, and Talbot (28 for 30 in saves).
Out in California, the San Jose Sharks welcome the Carolina Hurricanes. Curtis McElhinney and Martin Jones play in goal. San Jose started in the first period with a Barclay Goodrow goal, his fourth of the season, coming off of Kevin Labanc and Melker Karlsson. The Sharks added on with a Tomas Hertl power play goal, his seventh of the year, powered by Labanc and Logan Couture. San Jose extended the lead in the second period as Timo Meier scored his fourteenth of the season, thanks to Radim Simek and Joe Thornton. The Sharks padded the lead on a Joe Pavelski goal, his eighteenth of the year, via Meier and Thornton. Carolina got on the board with a Lucas Wallmark power play goal, his second of the season, with assists provided by Dougie Hamilton and Jaccob Slavin. San Jose replied with a Marcus Sorenson goal in the third period, his fifth of the year, guided in by Meier and Thornton, the latter earning a sock trick. The final remained at 5-1, with the three stars given to Meier, Thornton, and Jones (39 for 40 in saves), while Labanc gets an honorable mention.
