Toronto beats Washington, Ducks defeat Flames
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 19 - 04 - 2017

Tyler Bozak scored 1:37 into overtime to cap Toronto's comeback from two goals down in the second period as the Maple Leafs beat the Washington Capitals 4-3 Monday night to take a 2-1 lead in the first-round series. Auston Matthews and Nazem Kadri each had a goal and an assist and William Nylander also scored for Toronto. Frederik Andersen made 23 saves.
Toronto trailed 2-0 in the first period, and then 3-1 early in the second, before Kadri and Nylander scored 4:07 apart late to tie the score in the final minute of the period. Alex Ovechkin, Nicklas Backstrom and Evgeny Kuznetsov all scored for the Presidents' Trophy-winning Capitals. Braden Holtby stopped 24 shots.
Ducks 5, Flames 4, OT
Corey Perry scored 1:30 into overtime as the Anaheim Ducks rallied from three goals down to take a 3-0 series lead in the first-round series. Perry's sharp-angled shot deflected off several players and past Flames goalie Brian Elliott.
Shea Theodore had two goals while Nate Thompson had a goal and two assists and Nick Ritchie also scored for the Ducks. Rickard Rakell, Kevin Bieksa and Hampus Lindholm each had two assists. John Gibson gave up four goals on 16 shots before he was replaced by Jonathan Bernier in the second period. Bernier stopped all 16 shots he faced.
Sean Monahan had a goal and an assist while Kris Versteeg, Sam Bennett and Michael Stone also scored for Calgary. Mikael Backlund and T.J. Brodie each had two assists and Elliott finished with 22 saves.
Senators 4, Bruins 3, OT
Bobby Ryan scored on a tip-in on a power play 5:43 into overtime, and Ottawa recovered after giving up a three-goal lead to beat Boston and take a 2-1 lead in the first-round series. Ryan got free in the zone, tapping it in on assists by Kyle Turris and Erik Karlsson. Mike Hoffman added two goals for Ottawa, with Derick Brassard scoring the other. Craig Anderson finished with 17 saves.
It was the second straight overtime game of the series and second consecutive win for the Senators following their 4-3 victory in Game 2.
This time Bruins rallied from a 3-0 deficit with three goals in second period, tying the game on a power play goal by David Pastrnak. Noel Acciari and David Backes also scored for the Bruins. Tuukka Rask stopped 28 shots.
Predators 3, Blackhawks 2, OT
Kevin Fiala scored on a backhander 16:44 into overtime as the Nashville Predators rallied from a 2-0 deficit in the third period to push the Blackhawks to the brink of elimination.
Filip Forsberg scored twice in the third period to force overtime. Pekka Rinne made 34 saves, even with his franchise playoff scoreless streak ending early in the second period at 141 minutes, 5 seconds.
Dennis Rasmussen and Patrick Kane each scored the first goals this series for the Western Conference's No. 1 seed. But the Blackhawks, winners of three Stanley Cup titles in the past seven years, now trail 0-3 for the first time since the 2011 quarterfinals. They lost that series in seven games to Vancouver. Game 4 is Thursday night in Nashville.
Werenski out for playoffs with face fracture
Columbus defenseman Zach Werenski will miss the rest of the postseason because of a broken cheekbone. The Blue Jackets announced the decision Monday, one day after the 19-year-old rookie took a puck to the face on a shot by Pittsburgh's Phil Kessel that opened a gash on his right cheek in the second period.
He played a couple shifts in the third period with a full facemask, but his eye swelled shut and he had to sit out the rest of the game. He tweeted a photo of his face after the game that showed his eye nearly swollen shut. Pittsburgh won the game 5-4 in overtime for a 3-0 lead in their first-round series. Game 4 is Tuesday night. — AP
