Two games today, one regular season and one playoff. First up...
The Edmonton Oilers welcome the Vancouver Canucks. Thatcher Demko and Mikko Koskinen are the goalies. Edmonton led off in the first period with an Adam Larsson goal, his fourth of the season, made possible by Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl. Vancouver tied it on a Bo Horvat shorthanded goal, his eighteenth of the year, set up by Tanner Pearson in the second period. The Canucks took the lead in the third period with a Matthew Highmore goal, his second of the season, courtesy of J.T. Miller and Quinn Hughes. Vancouver added on with a Travis Boyd goal, his fifth of the year, via Jimmy Vesey. The Canucks extended the lead as Highmore scored his second of the game and third of the season, thanks to Brock Boeser and Miller. This made it 4-1, the final, with the three stars going to Highmore, Miller, and Demko (31 for 32 in saves).
The playoffs begin with the Washington Capitals bringing in the Boston Bruins. Tuukka Rask and Vitek Vanecek are the masked men. Washington began in the first period with a Tom Wilson goal, assisted by T.J. Oshie and Daniel Sprong. Boston tied it on a Jake DeBrusk goal, via Curtis Lazar. Craig Anderson replaced an injured Vanecek. The Capitals took the lead back in the second period with a Brenden Dillon goal, coming off of Anthony Mantha and Alex Ovechkin. The Bruins tied it with a power play goal by Nick Ritchie, powered by David Pastrnak and Charlie McAvoy. Washington won 3-2 in overtime with a Nic Dowd goal, guided in by Oshie and Wilson. The three stars were Wilson, Oshie, and Anderson (21 for 22 in saves in relief).
