NHL 2018/19 - Day 175

Just three games on this Wednesday, beginning with...

The New York Rangers hosting the Ottawa Senators. Anders Nilsson and Henrik Lundqvist man the nets. Ottawa led off in the first period with a Bobby Ryan power play goal, his fifth of the season, powered by Chris Tierney and Brady Tkachuk. The Senators added on with a Zack Smith shorthanded goal, his ninth of the year, with a lone assist by Magnus Paajarvi. Ottawa extended the lead in the second period as Tkachuk scored a power play goal, his twenty-second of the season, with the help of Colin White and Thomas Chabot. New York got on the board with a Lias Andersson shorthanded goal, his second of the year, set up by Vladislav Namestnikov and Brendan Smith. The Senators replied in the third period with a Brian Gibbons goal, his eighth of the campaign, coming off of White. This made it 4-1, the final, with the three stars given to Tkachuk, White, and Nilsson (27 for 28 in saves).

West to Chicago, as the Blackhawks welcome the St. Louis Blues. Jake Allen and Cam Ward are the backups in goal. Chicago began in the first period with a Jonathan Toews goal, his thirty-fifth of the season, passed from Patrick Kane and Drake Caggiula. St. Louis tied it in the second period on a Vladimir Tarasenko goal, his thirty-second of the year, courtesy of Brayden Schenn and Colton Parayko. The Blackhawks retook the lead with an Artem Anisimov goal, his fifteenth of the season, assisted by Dominik Kahun and Brandon Saad. Chicago added on in the third period with a Kane goal, his thirty-sixth of the year, via Dylan Strome and Duncan Keith. The Blues got one back with a David Perron power play goal, his twenty-second of the season, powered by Alex Pietrangelo and Tarasenko. St. Louis tied it as Tyler Bozak scored his thirteenth of the year, thanks to Pat Maroon and Parayko. The tie lasted to a shootout, where Toews' lone tally gave the Blackhawks a 4-3 win. The three stars were Kane, Toews, and Tarasenko, while Parayko gets the honorable mention.

Finally, the Anaheim Ducks bring in the Calgary Flames. David Rittich and Ryan Miller are the goalies. Anaheim kicked off the scoring in the first period with a Sam Steel goal, his fifth of the season, courtesy of Rickard Rakell and Jakob Silfverberg. The Ducks added on with a Max Jones goal, his second of the year, passed from Carter Rowney and Derek Grant. Calgary got on the board with a Derek Ryan goal, his thirteenth of the season, assisted by Johnny Gaudreau and Austin Czarnik. Anaheim replied in the second period on a Ryan Getzlaf goal, his fourteenth of the year, with a lone helper by Rowney. This only made it 3-1, the final, with the three stars going to Rowney, Jones, and Miller (25 for 26 in saves).
