Recap Roundups
December 14, 2017
Washington 5, Boston 3
Having spent three years at Boston University, Alex Chiasson says he always enjoys a return to TD Garden.
Philadelphia 2, Buffalo 1
During their 10-game losing streak last month, the Philadelphia Flyers couldn't find a way to win a one-goal game, losing six of them during that stretch.
Columbus 6, NY Islanders 4
The Columbus Blue Jackets could have caved in Thursday night after giving up a three-goal lead, but their response was quick and decisive.
Montreal 2, New Jersey 1
The New Jersey Devils flew into the Bell Centre on Thursday night still riding high from snapping the Los Angeles Kings' eight-game winning streak earlier in the week. The Devils were unable to carry some of that momentum into Montreal.
Anaheim 3, St. Louis 1
Kevin Roy's stay in the minor leagues was only a few hours long, but that was enough time for him to realize he would much rather be in the NHL.
Minnesota 2, Toronto 0
If Alex Stalock's performance against one of the NHL's offensive powerhouses is any indication of how he will replace the indefinitely sidelined Devan Dubnyk, the Minnesota Wild will be just fine in the interim.
Chicago 5, Winnipeg 1
The Winnipeg Jets came into Thursday's game against the Chicago Blackhawks riding a seven-game winning streak at Bell MTS Place and a goaltender with the best home save percentage in the NHL.
Colorado 2, Florida 1
Nathan MacKinnon got off to a slow start this season, but he is making up for it with a dominant stretch for the Colorado Avalanche.
San Jose 3, Calgary 2
Joonas Donskoi made the most of his return to the lineup after missing the past six games with a lower-body injury.
Nashville 4, Edmonton 0
The Edmonton Oilers dominated the Nashville Predators everywhere but on the scoreboard Thursday.
Tampa Bay 4, Arizona 1
The Tampa Bay Lightning needed only 41 seconds in the first period -- barely the length of a single shift -- to show why they have the NHL's best record, its two top scorers and its hottest goaltender.
Vegas 2, Pittsburgh 1
Veteran goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury was endeared by the Pittsburgh Penguins and Vegas Golden Knights fans, and had the admiration of players from both sides Thursday night in an emotional game for him at the T-Mobile Arena.
