Recap Roundups
November 25, 2016
NY Rangers 3, Philadelphia 2
Less than 48 hours after getting mowed down by the Pittsburgh Penguins, Henrik Lundqvist and the New York Rangers got back on track with a 3-2 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers Friday afternoon at the Wells Fargo Center.
Chicago 3, Anaheim 2
Without their captain and one of their best all-around players, the Chicago Blackhawks registered perhaps their best performance of their longest road trip of the season.
San Jose 3, NY Islanders 2
Aaron Dell does not see a lot of action as the San Jose Sharks' backup goalie. Yet the New York Islanders would say they've seen too much of him.
Minnesota 6, Pittsburgh 2
A November slip in the standings for the Minnesota Wild was largely the result of a varied and efficient offense suddenly unable to score with consistency. Minnesota's league-leading defense was at least keeping it in tight games.
Washington 3, Buffalo 1
As birthdays go, the 25th was one to remember for Philipp Grubauer.
Nashville 5, Winnipeg 1
It appears that Ryan Johansen likes playing against the Winnipeg Jets.
Calgary 2, Boston 1
Chad Johnson had a rather a simple explanation for his current hot goaltending.
Columbus 5, Tampa Bay 3
Columbus Blue Jackets head coach John Tortorella issued his team a directive heading into Friday's game against the Tampa Bay Lightning to find the areas around the blue paint.
Detroit 5, New Jersey 4
After a month of dormancy, the Detroit Red Wings' offense awakened Friday night in a major way.
Dallas 2, Vancouver 1
Esa Lindell could have had his first and second career goals in the same game. But the rookie defenseman had to settle for a goal and an assist for the Dallas Stars, who also saw Antti Niemi stop 30 of 31 shots, including all 14 he faced in the third period, in a 2-1 win over the Vancouver Canucks on Friday night at American Airlines Center.
Arizona 3, Edmonton 2
It defies logic, but even a last-place Arizona Coyotes team was able to continue their mastery over the Pacific Division-leading Edmonton Oilers Friday night at Gila River Arena.
