It's a three-game night, beginning with...
The Washington Capitals hosting the New York Islanders. Semyon Varlamov and Darcy Kuemper are in goal. Washington led off in the first period with a Hendrix Lapierre goal, his second of the season, via Aliaksei Protas. New York tied it in the second period with a Hudson Fasching goal, his second of the year, helped along by Cal Clutterbuck. The Capitals took the lead with a Joel Edmundson goal, fueled by Anthony Mantha and Lapierre. The Islanders tied it on an Anders Lee goal, his ninth of the season, going in unassisted. Washington won 3-2 in overtime with a Dylan Strome power play goal, his thirteenth of the year, powered by Alex Ovechkin and John Carlson.
Out west, the Winnipeg Jets welcome the Detroit Red Wings. James Reimer and Laurent Brossoit man the nets. Winnipeg began in the first period with a Neal Pionk goal, his second of the season, assisted by Axel Jonsson-Fjallby and David Gustafsson. Detroit tied it in the second period with an Olli Maatta goal, via Patrick Kane and Andrew Copp. The Jets took the lead on a Nikolaj Ehlers goal, his eleventh of the year, passed from Gabriel Vilardi and Dylan DeMelo. Winnipeg added on with a Jonsson-Fjallby goal, coming off of Dylan Samberg. The Jets extended the lead as Vilardi scored his sixth of the season, thanks to Cole Perfetti and Josh Morrissey. The Red Wings got one back with a Kane goal, his second of the year, made possible by Dylan Larkin and Moritz Seider. Winnipeg answered with a Mark Scheifele goal, his twelfth of the season, with helpers from Vilardi and Ehlers. This stood for a 5-2 win, with the three stars going to Vilardi, Ehlers, and Jonsson-Fjallby, while Kane gets an honorable mention.
Finally, the Los Angeles Kings bring in the Seattle Kraken. Joey Daccord and Cam Talbot are the masked men. Seattle got going in the second period with a Brandon Tanev goal, his third of the season, an unassisted goal. The Kraken added on in the third period with a Jordan Eberle goal, his fourth of the year, via Matty Beniers and Will Borgen. Los Angeles got on the board with a Blake Lizotte shorthanded goal, his fifth of the season, going in unassisted. This only made it 2-1, the final, with the three stars being Daccord (43 for 44 in saves), Eberle, and Tanev.
