Three games on today for the last day of bye weeks. We begin with...
The Boston Bruins hosting the Philadelphia Flyers. Carter Hart and Tuukka Rask are set to start in goal. Boston drew first blood in the first period with a David Pastrnak power play goal, his twenty-ninth of the season, powered by Torey Krug and Brad Marchand. Philadelphia tied it on a Claude Giroux goal, his fifteenth of the year, passed from Jakub Voracek. The Bruins retook the lead in the second period with another Pastrnak goal, his second of the game and thirtieth of the season, coming off of Patrice Bergeron and Zdeno Chara. The Flyers tied it in the third period with an Oskar Lindblom power play goal, his seventh of the year, guided in by Voracek and Travis Sanheim. Philadelphia won 3-2 in overtime on a Sanheim power play goal, his fifth of the campaign, made possible by Sean Couturier and Travis Konecny. The three stars were Sanheim, Pastrnak, and Voracek.
Down in New Jersey, the Devils welcome the New York Rangers. Henrik Lundqvist and Keith Kinkaid are the masked men. New Jersey kicked off the scoring in the first period with a Nico Hischier power play goal, his fourteenth of the season, going in unassisted. The Devils added on with a Marcus Johansson power play goal, his eighth of the year, guided in by Brian Boyle and Damon Severson. New York got on the board with a Mika Zibanejad power play goal, his eighteenth of the season, with a lone assist by Kevin Hayes. The Rangers tied it in the second period with another Zibanejad power play goal, his second of the game and nineteenth of the year, with assists provided by Mats Zuccarello and Hayes. New York took the lead in the third period with a Chris Kreider goal, his twenty-third of the season, coming off of Zuccarello and Zibanejad. New Jersey tied it on an Egor Yakovlev goal, his second of the year, helped along by Johansson and Hischier. The Rangers pulled ahead with a Zibanejad goal to complete his hat trick on his twentieth of the campaign, fueled by Zuccarello, who got a sock trick, and Pavel Buchnevich.
