There's two games on as we exit the All-Star break. First up...
The New York Rangers welcome the Colorado Avalanche. Alexandar Georgiev and Jonathan Quick are the goalies. Colorado opened in the first period with a Nathan MacKinnon goal, his thirty-second of the season, via Cale Makar and Josh Manson. New York tied it in the third period with an Artemi Panarin goal, his thirty-first of the year, fueled by K'Andre Miller and Braden Schneider. The Rangers won 2-1 in overtime with an Alexis Lafreniere goal, his thirteenth of the campaign, made possible by Mika Zibanejad and the goalie Quick. The three stars were Quick (32 for 33 in saves), Lafreniere, and Panarin.
In Toronto, the Maple Leafs bring in the New York Islanders. Ilya Sorokin and Ilya Samsonov are the similarly-named goalies. New York started in the first period with a Mathew Barzal goal, his fourteenth of the season, coming off of Mike Reilly and Anders Lee. Toronto tied it on a Mitchell Marner goal in the second period, his twenty-first of the year, guided in by John Tavares and Auston Matthews. The Islanders retook the lead on a Kyle MacLean goal, assisted by Cal Clutterbuck. The Maple Leafs tied it again in the third period with a Tavares power play goal, his fourteenth of the season, powered by Morgan Rielly and William Nylander. New York pulled ahead with a Pierre Engvall goal, his sixth of the year, helped along by Brock Nelson and Kyle Palmieri. This stood for a 3-2 win, with the three stars going to Tavares, Engvall, and MacLean.
