NHL 2022-23 - Day 94

There's just three games on today, beginning with...

The Carolina Hurricanes hosting the Vancouver Canucks. Collin Delia and Pyotr Kochetkov are the young goalies. Carolina began in the first period with a Paul Stastny goal, his third of the season, assisted by Andrei Svechnikov and Calvin de Haan. The Hurricanes added on with a Jordan Martinook goal, his tenth of the year, made possible by Jaccob Slavin. Vancouver got on the board with an Ethan Bear goal, his third of the season, fueled by Andrei Kuzmenko and Jack Studnicka in the second period. The Canucks tied it in the third period with a J.T. Miller goal, his seventeenth of the year, via Quinn Hughes. Carolina retook the lead with a Sebastian Aho goal, his fourteenth of the season, coming off of Teuvo Teravainen and Slavin. Vancouver retied it with a Brock Boeser goal, his ninth of the year, guided in by Bo Horvat and Kuzmenko. The tie went to a shootout, where Kuzmenko and Elias Pettersson lifted the Canucks to a 4-3 win over Svechnikov and the Hurricanes. The three stars were Kuzmenko, Slavin, and Svechnikov. 

Up in New York, the Rangers welcome the Montreal Canadiens. Sam Montembeault is mismatched with Igor Shesterkin in goal. Montreal got going in the second period with a Kirby Dach power play goal, his eighth of the season, powered by Christian Dvorak and Cole Caufield. New York tied it on an Artemi Panarin goal, his twelfth of the year, assisted by Filip Chytil and K'Andre Miller. The Canadiens took the lead back in the third period with a Caufield goal, his twenty-sixth of the campaign, passed from Nick Suzuki and Joel Armia. This stood for a 2-1 win, with the three stars going to Caufield, Montembeault (38 for 39 in saves), and Dach. 

Finally, the Winnipeg Jets bring in the Arizona Coyotes. Karel Vejmelka and Connor Hellebuyck protect the nets. Winnipeg dented the scoreboard in the second period with a Pierre-Luc Dubois power play goal, his twentieth of the season, powered by Josh Morrissey and Nikolaj Ehlers. Arizona tied it on a Clayton Keller goal, his fifteenth of the year, guided in by Nick Schmaltz and Jakob Chychrun. The Jets retook the lead on a Blake Wheeler goal, his eleventh of the campaign, fueled by Mark Scheifele and Cole Perfetti. This stood for the eventual 2-1 final score, with the three stars given to Hellebuyck (20 for 21 in saves), Wheeler, and Dubois.
