NHL 2021 - Day 29

Just two games are on today, beginning with...

The New York Rangers welcoming the Boston Bruins. Tuukka Rask and Alexandar Georgiev are the goalies. New York led off in the first period with a Julien Gauthier goal, courtesy of Brendan Lemieux. Boston tied it in the second period with a shorthanded goal by Chris Wagner, his second of the season, going in unassisted. The Bruins took the lead with an Anders Bjork goal in the third period, helped along by Jake DeBrusk and Kevan Miller. The Rangers retied it on a Kevin Rooney goal, his third of the year, made possible by Lemieux and Ryan Lindgren. Boston won 3-2 in overtime with a Brad Marchand goal, his eighth of the campaign, guided in by Charlie McAvoy and Patrice Bergeron. The three stars were Rask (33 for 35 in saves), Marchand, and Lemieux.

The other game sees the Montreal Canadiens bringing in the Toronto Maple Leafs. Frederik Andersen and Carey Price tend the twines. Montreal began in the first period with a Josh Anderson goal, his ninth of the season, coming off of Jonathan Drouin. Toronto tied it in the second period on a Travis Dermott goal, assisted by Jake Muzzin and John Tavares. The Maple Leafs took the lead in the third period with a Justin Holl goal, via Tavares and Muzzin. Toronto added on with an Ilya Mikheyev goal, fueled by Alexander Kerfoot and Zach Hyman. The Canadiens got one back with a Tomas Tatar goal, his fourth of the year, courtesy of Ben Chiarot and Alexander Romanov. The Maple Leafs replied with a Hyman empty net goal, his fourth of the season, set up by Auston Matthews and Muzzin. This stood for a 4-2 win, with the three stars given to Muzzin, Tavares, and Hyman.
