NHL 2019-20 - Day 52

Just two games on a quiet Friday night, beginning with...

The Pittsburgh Penguins welcoming the New Jersey Devils. MacKenzie Blackwood and Tristan Jarry are the masked men. Pittsburgh began in the first period with a Dominik Kahun goal, his sixth of the season, made possible by Dominik Simon. New Jersey tied it in the second period with a Taylor Hall power play goal, his third of the year, powered by Nico Hischier and Kyle Palmieri. The Penguins retook the lead on a Jake Guentzel goal, his eleventh of the season, fueled by Evgeni Malkin and Bryan Rust. Pittsburgh added on in the third period with a Jared McCann goal, his eighth of the year, helped along by Alex Galchenyuk and Brandon Tanev. The Penguins extended the lead as John Marino scored his second of the season, thanks to Zach Aston-Reese and Sam Lafferty. Louis Domingue replaced Blackwood in goal. The final was 4-1, with the three stars given to Jarry (36 for 37 in saves), Guentzel, and McCann.

Up in Ottawa, the Senators bring in the New York Rangers. Henrik Lundqvist and Anders Nilsson are in the creases. Ottawa led off in the first period with a Thomas Chabot goal, his second of the season, assisted by Brady Tkachuk and Anthony Duclair. The Senators added on with a Logan Brown power play goal, powered by Jean-Gabriel Pageau. New York got on the board with a Jacob Trouba goal, his second of the year, passed from Ryan Lindgren and Tim Gettinger. Ottawa replied with a Tyler Ennis goal, his sixth of the season, coming off of Colin White and Chris Tierney. The Senators extended the lead as Duclair scored his tenth of the year on the power play, thanks to Pageau and Chabot. The final held at 4-1 with Duclair, Chabot, and Nilsson (30 for 31 in saves) getting the three stars while Pageau picked up an honorable mention.
