Just three games are on this Wednesday, beginning with...
The Boston Bruins hosting the Montreal Canadiens. Jake Allen and Linus Ullmark are in goal. Boston opened in the first period with a Brad Marchand goal, his seventeenth of the season, passed from Tomas Nosek and Curtis Lazar. The Bruins added on with another Marchand goal, his second of the game and eighteenth of the year, assisted by Craig Smith and Patrice Bergeron. Samuel Montembeault entered the game in place of Allen. Boston extended the lead as Lazar scored his fourth of the season, thanks to Jake DeBrusk and Matt Grzelcyk. The Bruins padded the lead on a Marchand shorthanded goal, completing his hat trick on his nineteenth of the year, set up by John Moore and Bergeron in the second period. Montreal got on the board with a Michael Pezzetta goal, his second of the season, fueled by Brett Kulak. Boston replied in the third period on a Lazar goal, his second of the game and fifth of the year, made possible by Urho Vaakanainen and Anton Blidh. The final held at 5-1, with the three stars going to Marchand, Lazar, and Bergeron.
Down in Dallas, the Stars welcome the Seattle Kraken. Philipp Grubauer and Jake Oettinger are between the pipes. Dallas started in the first period with a Roope Hintz goal, his fourteenth of the season, via Jason Robertson and Joe Pavelski. Seattle tied it on a Calle Jarnkrok power play goal, his fifth of the year, powered by Marcus Johansson and Jared McCann. The Stars took the lead with a Pavelski goal, his fourteenth of the season, assisted by Miro Heiskanen and Ryan Suter. Dallas added on with a Robertson power play goal, his thirteenth of the year, guided in by Hintz and Pavelski. The Kraken got one back with a McCann goal in the second period, his fifteenth of the season, fueled by Jordan Eberle and Vince Dunn. The Stars shot back with a Pavelski goal, his second of the game and fifteenth of the year, helped along by Esa Lindell. Dallas extended the lead in the third period as Jani Hakanpaa scored an empty net goal, set up by Hintz and Pavelski. The three stars of the 5-2 game were Pavelski, Robertson, and Hintz, while McCann gets an honorable mention.
Finally, the Arizona Coyotes bring in the Toronto Maple Leafs. Petr Mrazek and Karel Vejmelka draw the starts in goal. Arizona struck first in the first period with a Ryan Dzingel goal, his third of the season, going in unassisted. Toronto tied it in the third period with an Auston Matthews goal, his twenty-fourth of the year, via Michael Bunting and Jake Muzzin. The Coyotes retook the lead on another Dzingel goal, his second of the game and fourth of the season, guided in by Nick Schmaltz and Alex Galchenyuk. This stood for a 2-1 win, with the three stars being Dzingel, Vejmelka (45 for 46 in saves), and Matthews.
