NHL Results - Sun, Nov 09, 2014

Toronto @ Ottawa 5-3 - Mike Santorelli scored the go-ahead goal midway through the second period. Santorelli's shorthanded goal at 10:53 put the Maple Leafs ahead to stay, and David Clarkson scored an insurance goal 6:06 into the third period when he deflected a shot by defenseman Morgan Rielly between the pads of goaltender Robin Lehner. Holland won a puck battle with Senators captain Erik Karlsson and found Santorelli coming down the slot. Sunday started with both teams visiting the National War Memorial where Cpl. Nathan Cirillo was shot and killed during an attack on Parliament Hill on Oct. 22. The teams were scheduled to play at Canadian Tire Centre that night, but the game was postponed until Sunday. Van Riemsdyk tied the game 2-2 at 2:33 of the middle period when he swept around Senators forward Bobby Ryan at the Ottawa line and fired a shot that hit Lehner in the shoulder and popped up in the air. The puck landed near the left post; van Riemsdyk tracked it down and banged it in for his sixth goal of the season. The Senators went ahead 3-2 on a goal by Mark Stone at 4:04. It was Ottawa's eighth power-play goal on home ice this season. But the Maple Leafs tied it for the third time at 6:21 when forward Trevor Smith, called up for the game from the Toronto Marlies of the AHL with Daniel Winnik out with a head injury, helped win a board battle against Karlsson on the left wing. Smith centered the puck to Leivo, who beat Lehner for his first goal of the season. Mike Hoffman opened the scoring with his fourth of the season for the Senators and Holland tied it on a play that ended with a delayed reaction by the players on the ice. Holland's shot hit the stick of Ottawa defenseman Cody Ceci, then hit Lehner's stick, deflected up and lodged in the top of the net. Santorelli pointed at the puck from behind the net and the goal was confirmed by video review.

Tampa Bay @ Detroit 4-3 SO - Ryan Callahan scored the only goal of the shootout to give Tampa Bay victory. Detroit rallied from a 3-1 deficit in the second period to send the game past regulation and earn a point, but Callahan beat Jimmy Howard with a wrist shot in the first round of the tiebreaker and Tampa Bay goaltender Ben Bishop stopped all three Detroit shooters. Nyquist tied it 3-3 at 8:49 of the third period. He fired a wrist shot from the top of the left circle past Bishop after stickhandling his way across the ice and past and around Lightning players from the red line for his eighth goal. Bishop stopped Henrik Zetterberg with a glove save from the bottom of the right circle 40 seconds into the third period and denied Kronwall from the slot with 1:27 left in overtime. Helm pulled the Red Wings within 3-2 with 8:23 left in the second period by beating Bishop with a slap shot from the top of the left circle off the rush. It was Helm's first goal of the season. Stamkos and Johnson scored 3:43 apart early in the second period to give the Lightning a 3-1 lead. Stamkos snapped a 1-1 tie at 2:19 with his second goal of the game when he fired a wrist shot past Howard from the high slot. But play continued and it went to video review at the next stoppage of play, which was at 3:09. Replays showed that the shot went in off the left goal post and then hit the back bar and bounced out. Johnson gave Tampa Bay a two-goal lead at 6:02 with a one-time slap shot from the right faceoff dot past Howard for his fifth goal. Franzen's power-play goal opened the scoring 6:14 into the game. He scored his fourth goal of the season on a one-time slap shot from above the right circle after Zetterberg won the faceoff following a goaltender interference penalty to Callahan. Nyquist passed the puck back to Kronwall at the left point, who fed Franzen at the right point. Stamkos tied it with a 5-on-3 power-play goal at 12:53, beating Howard with a one-timer from the high slot.

Edmonton @ NY Rangers 3-1 - The Rangers didn't get a shot on goal until 10:55 had expired in the third period. They wound up with seven in the period, but Fasth stopped them all and the Oilers protected their lead before scoring a late empty-net goal for a 3-1 win, their second consecutive road victory after losing their first five games away from Rexall Place. Edmonton held the Rangers without a shot on goal from 16:56 of the second period until 10:55 of the third period, a span of 13:59. The Oilers had a 2-1 lead and a 24-14 advantage in shots on goal after two periods. Nugent-Hopkins was responsible for the first goal at 3:19 of the first period and set up Pouliot for the second (at 8:29 of the second). Rangers forward Carl Hagelin scored from the right circle at 12:34 of the first period to tie the game at 1-1, but the Oilers dominated the majority of the second period. They outshot the Rangers 13-6 and Pouliot scored on a shot from the right circle that went through Lundqvist's legs.


Vancouver @ Anaheim 2-1 SO - Nick Bonino scored the only goal in a shootout that ended with Kesler hitting the goal post, giving the Vancouver Canucks a 2-1 win against the Sucks. Ex-Suck Bonino deked and slipped the puck under the right pad of Anaheim goalie Frederik Andersen in the first round of the tiebreaker. Kesler, playing against his former team for the first time since he was traded from Vancouver during the summer, needed to score in the third round to extend the shootout but wristed a shot off the metal. Bonino, who was part of the package the Canucks received in the Kesler deal, also played his first game against his former teammates. Jakob Silfverberg also beat Canucks goalie Eddie Lack in the second round; he hit the crossbar. Lack got his first win of the season. He made seven of his 28 saves in overtime and also stopped Ryan Getzlaf in the first shootout attempt as Vancouver snapped a six-game losing streak to Anaheim. Vancouver carried the play for most of the third period, but Andersen kept Anaheim in it with 11 saves. He also made a breakaway stop on Jannik Hansen late in the second to preserve a 1-1 tie. Vancouver forced overtime on Alexandre Burrows' deflection of Dan Hamhuis' throw-it-on-net floater at 11:49 of the second, and the game settled into a standoff with lots of compelling play but no scoring. Kesler's emotions were evident early with his back-to-back hits on Daniel Sedin and Hansen. Then he got a faceoff win against Bonino to set up Sami Vatanen for a wrist shot that beat Lack to the glove side at 2:37 of the second.
