Recap Roundups
December 20, 2016
NY Islanders 4, Boston 2
This time, the New York Islanders figured out a way to hang on and win.
Nashville 5, New Jersey 1
James Neal scored twice and Viktor Arvidsson added three assists as the Nashville Predators defeated the New Jersey Devils 5-1 on Tuesday night at the Prudential Center.
Pittsburgh 7, NY Rangers 2
The New York Rangers had been stingy, allowing six goals over seven games, with two shutouts. Here's the catch: None of those opponents were the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Columbus 3, Los Angeles 2
The Columbus Blue Jackets keep finding ways to win.
Montreal 5, Anaheim 1
Jeff Petry was in the midst of a dry spell offensively for the better part of November and early December. A meeting with his coach changed all that.
Tampa Bay 4, Detroit 1
Both teams exited with question marks after losing their starting goalies early to injuries, but the Tampa Bay Lightning also got an emphatic win Tuesday.
Florida 4, Buffalo 3
If you ask Florida Panthers interim coach Tom Rowe, there were a lot of fortunate observers inside the BB&T Center on Tuesday night.
Minnesota 2, Colorado 0
Few NHL teams are playing as well as Minnesota the past few weeks. Few goaltenders are as hot as the Wild's Devan Dubnyk.
Ottawa 4, Chicago 3
The Ottawa Senators hadn't won in Chicago in 15 years -- a run they knew wouldn't end without a proper start.
St. Louis 3, Dallas 2
Away victories are a rare occurrence for the St. Louis Blues this season. However, on Tuesday night against the Dallas Stars at American Airlines Center, the Blues prevailed 3-2 thanks to an overtime game-winner from David Perron.
Vancouver 4, Winnipeg 1
Jannik Hansen is starting to get back in the groove.
San Jose 4, Calgary 1
A healthy scratch means a hockey player's game must improve. Clearly, Joonas Donskoi received the message.
