NHL 2021 - Day 31

Just a pair of games for today, beginning with...

The New York Rangers hosting the Boston Bruins. Jaroslav Halak and Igor Shesterkin make the starts in goal. Boston got going in the second period with a Nick Ritchie goal, his fifth of the season, helped along by David Krejci and Jeremy Lauzon. This stood for an eventual 1-0 win, with the three stars going to Halak (21 save shutout), Ritchie, and Shesterkin (29 for 30 in saves). 

Out in Arizona, the Coyotes host the St. Louis Blues. Jordan Binnington and Darcy Kuemper patrol the creases. St. Louis struck first in the first period with a Justin Faulk power play goal, his fourth of the season, powered by David Perron and Mike Hoffman. Arizona tied it on a Johan Larsson goal, via Jordan Oesterle and Barrett Hayton in the second period. The Blues took the lead in the third period on a Faulk goal, his second of the game and fifth of the year, courtesy of Jordan Kyrou and Carl Gunnarsson. St. Louis added on with an Ivan Barbashev empty net goal, set up by Brayden Schenn and Faulk. The Blues iced it at 4-1 with a Schenn empty net goal, his seventh of the campaign, going in unassisted. The three stars were Faulk, Binnington (24 for 25 in saves), and Schenn.
