Just a pair of games today, beginning with...
The Nashville Predators welcoming the Chicago Blackhawks. Kevin Lankinen and Juuse Saros are the goalies. Nashville dented the scoreboard in the third period with a Nick Cousins goal, courtesy of Matt Duchene. Chicago tied it on a Ryan Carpenter goal, passed from Brandon Hagel and David Kampf. The tie lasted to a shootout, where Duchene had the lone tally for a 2-1 Predators win. The three stars were Duchene, Lankinen (41 for 42 in saves), and Saros (29 for 30 in saves).
Out west, the Vancouver Canucks bring in the Ottawa Senators. Marcus Hogberg and Thatcher Demko are the backups in goal. Vancouver kicked off the scoring in the first period with a Tyler Motte goal, his fourth of the season, assisted by Tyler Myers and Jay Beagle. Ottawa tied it on a Josh Norris power play goal, his second of the year, powered by Brady Tkachuk. The Canucks retook the lead in the second period on a J.T. Miller goal, coming off of Quinn Hughes and Elias Pettersson. Vancouver added on with another Miller goal, his second of the game, via Jordie Benn. The Canucks extended the lead as Pettersson scored his second of the season on the power play, with the help of Miller and Hughes. Vancouver padded the lead in the third period on Motte's second goal of the game and fifth of the year, guided in by Beagle. The final stood at 5-1, with the three stars going to Miller, Motte, and Pettersson, while Hughes and Beagle get the honorable mentions.
