NHL 2021-22 - Day 43

Ahead of Thanksgiving week, it's a quiet Tuesday with three games on. We begin with...

The Tampa Bay Lightning hosting the Philadelphia Flyers. Carter Hart and Andrei Vasilevskiy are the masked men. Tampa Bay opened in the first period with a Zach Bogosian goal, via Mikhail Sergachev and Pat Maroon. The Lightning added on in the second period with a Steven Stamkos goal, his tenth of the season, assisted by Bogosian and Ryan McDonagh. Tampa Bay extended the lead as Corey Perry scored, thanks to Stamkos and Sergachev. The Lightning padded the lead on an Alex Barre-Boulet goal, his third of the year, coming off of Stamkos. This made it 4-0, the final, with the three stars handed to Vasilevskiy (34 save shutout), Stamkos, and Bogosian, while Sergachev gets an honorable mention.

Down in Dallas, the Stars welcome the Edmonton Oilers. Stuart Skinner and Jake Oettinger are the young goalies. Dallas started in the first period with a Roope Hintz power play goal, his sixth of the season, powered by Alexander Radulov and John Klingberg. The Stars added on with a Jason Robertson power play goal, his fourth of the year, guided in by Hintz and Klingberg. Dallas extended the lead in the second period as Denis Gurianov scored his third of the season, thanks to Klingberg and Miro Heiskanen. Edmonton got on the board with a Ryan McLeod goal, his third of the year, passed from Leon Draisaitl and Jesse Puljujarvi. The Stars replied in the third period with a Luke Glendening goal, his fifth of the season, made possible by Ryan Suter and Joel Kiviranta. This stood for a 4-1 win, with the three stars going to Hintz, Klingberg, and Oettinger (21 for 22 in saves).

Finally, the Calgary Flames bring in the Chicago Blackhawks. Marc-Andre Fleury and Jacob Markstrom tend the twines. Calgary kicked off the scoring in the first period with a Dillon Dube goal, his second of the season, made possible by Rasmus Andersson and Noah Hanifin. Chicago tied it on a Brandon Hagel goal, his sixth of the year, assisted by Ryan Carpenter and Reese Johnson. The Flames took the lead with a Milan Lucic goal, his fifth of the season, via Brad Richardson. The Blackhawks tied it in the second period on a Johnson goal, going in unassisted. Calgary pulled ahead in the third period with a Matthew Tkachuk goal, his ninth of the year, guided in by Andersson and Elias Lindholm. The Flames added on with an unassisted Trevor Lewis empty net goal, his second of the season. Calgary iced it at 5-2 with a Johnny Gaudreau empty net goal, his ninth of the year, set up by Lindholm. The three stars were Andersson, Lindholm, and Tkachuk.
