Recap Roundups
March 25, 2017
Vancouver 4, Minnesota 2
Prior to Friday's practice, Minnesota Wild coach Bruce Boudreau showed his struggling team video of a December game when the Wild were playing their best hockey. His hope was the Wild would take what they learned and it would transfer to Saturday's matinee game against the Vancouver Canucks.
Columbus 1, Philadelphia 0
The Columbus Blue Jackets generated just enough offense and Sergei Bobrovsky took care of the rest.
Calgary 3, St. Louis 2
Standing at the other end of the ice, Brian Elliott knew exactly what Jake Allen was thinking.
Buffalo 5, Toronto 2
The Buffalo Sabres played the spoiler role to perfection Saturday night.
Montreal 3, Ottawa 1
A stalwart on the Montreal Canadiens' blue line for 16 seasons, Andrei Markov showed Saturday night that age isn't anything but a number.
Florida 7, Chicago 0
Panthers center Jonathan Marchessault had a brief moment of doubt, maybe his only one of the night.
Carolina 3, New Jersey 1
Jeff Skinner continued his recent goal-scoring splurge Saturday night at the Prudential Center, helping the Carolina Hurricanes keep their faint playoff hopes alive with the game-winning goal in a 3-1 victory over the New Jersey Devils.
Boston 2, NY Islanders 1
The calendar says the NHL playoffs begin April 12.
Washington 4, Arizona 1
With just over seven minutes left in a game they couldn't afford to lose, the Washington Capitals suddenly found themselves a man down and tied with the Arizona Coyotes.
Nashville 7, San Jose 2
Defenseman Roman Josi said the Nashville Predators are playing their best hockey of the season.
Edmonton 4, Colorado 1
Laurent Brossoit made his NHL debut in April 2015. He had to wait until January 2017 to get his first NHL win. Now, in the space of three days, he's got career wins two and three.
NY Rangers 3, Los Angeles 0
If it was up to the New York Rangers, they might want to play the rest of the NHL season on the road. For the Los Angeles Kings, they cannot score regardless of the venue.
