NHL 2023-24 - Day 27

Just two games are on this Sunday, beginning with...

The Chicago Blackhawks hosting the New Jersey Devils. Vitek Vanecek and Arvid Soderblom man the nets. Chicago opened in the first period with a Taylor Hall goal, his second of the season, coming off of Tyler Johnson and Wyatt Kaiser. New Jersey tied it on a Dawson Mercer power play goal, powered by Erik Haula and Dougie Hamilton. The Devils took the lead on a Max Willman goal, going in unassisted. New Jersey added on in the third period with a Curtis Lazar goal, his second of the year, helped along by John Marino. The Blackhawks got one back with a Ryan Donato goal, his third of the season, passed from Andreas Athanasiou and Jason Dickinson. The Devils finished it at 4-2 with a Michael McLeod empty net goal, his third of the year, an unassisted goal. The three stars belonged to Vanecek (32 for 34 in saves), Lazar, and Willman.

Out west, the Anaheim Ducks host the Vegas Golden Knights. Logan Thompson and John Gibson are the masked men. Vegas started in the first period with an Ivan Barbashev goal, his fourth of the season, courtesy of Jack Eichel. The Golden Knights added on in the second period with an Eichel goal, his sixth of the year, via Shea Theodore and Brayden McNabb. Anaheim got on the board in the third period with an Adam Henrique power play goal, his second of the season, powered by Cam Fowler and Frank Vatrano. The Ducks tied it on a Sam Carrick goal, his second of the year, guided in by Pavel Mintyukov. Anaheim pulled ahead with a Mason McTavish goal, his sixth of the season, fueled by Vatrano and Ilya Lyubushkin. The Ducks iced it at 4-2 with an empty net goal by Carrick, his second of the game and third of the year, set up by Troy Terry and Fowler. The three stars were Carrick, Vatrano, and Eichel, while Fowler gets an honorable mention.
