There's two games on to wrap up the pre-All-Star Game schedule. First up...
The Buffalo Sabres welcome the Carolina Hurricanes. Antti Raanta and Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen are the Finnish goalies. Carolina opened in the first period with a Sebastian Aho power play goal, his twenty-third of the season, powered by Teuvo Teravainen and Andrei Svechnikov. The Hurricanes added on with a Stefan Noesen goal, his ninth of the year, courtesy of Martin Necas and Jesperi Kotkaniemi. Carolina extended the lead as Brent Burns scored his tenth of the season, thanks to Kotkaniemi and Jalen Chatfield. Buffalo got on the board with an Alex Tuch goal, his twenty-fourth of the year, via Henri Jokiharju. The Hurricanes replied in the third period with a Derek Stepan goal, his fifth of the season, helped along by Noesen and Chatfield. Carolina iced it at 5-1 with a Jordan Martinook shorthanded empty net goal, his eleventh of the year, set up by Jordan Staal. The three stars were Noesen, Chatfield, and Kotkaniemi.
Over in Toronto, the Maple Leafs bring in the Boston Bruins. Linus Ullmark and Ilya Samsonov are the masked men. Boston dented the scoreboard in the second period with a Derek Forbort shorthanded goal, his fourth of the season, set up by Charlie Coyle and Trent Frederic. Toronto tied it on a Mitch Marner power play goal, his nineteenth of the year, powered by the goalie Samsonov and Morgan Rielly. The Bruins took the lead back with a Brandon Carlo goal, his second of the season, assisted by Hampus Lindholm and Coyle. Boston added on in the third period with an A.J. Greer goal, his fifth of the year, guided in by Jakub Lauko. The Maple Leafs got one back with a Calle Jarnkrok goal, his twelfth of the season, coming off of Mark Giordano and Justin Holl. The Bruins fired back with a Pavel Zacha goal, his tenth of the year, courtesy of Charlie McAvoy and Matt Grzelcyk. Boston extended the lead as Zacha scored his second of the game and eleventh of the season, thanks to David Krejci and David Pastrnak. This made it 5-2, the final, with the three stars going to Zacha, Coyle, and Ullmark (33 for 35 in saves).
