NHL - Results - Friday, December 11, 2015

Detroit @ New Jersey 2-3 OT
Kyle Palmieri collected an aerial pass from Lee Stempniak at the blue line and scored off his backhand with 39 seconds remaining in overtime to give the Devils a 3-2 win. Kalinin scored a power-play goal at 14:40 to make it 2-2. Palmieri drove a shot that Kalinin redirected into the net with the blade of his stick at the left post. Red Wings coach Jeff Blashill challenged, claiming Kalinin interfered with the stick of Howard, but the goal was upheld. Severson scored his first goal of the season 2:40 into the third period. Brian O'Neill set a screen in front of Howard, who was unable to track Severson's slap shot from the right point. The Red Wings had a 2-0 lead when Tatar scored a power-play goal 16:02 into the second period. Howard made the play possible when he stopped Mike Cammalleri's shorthanded shot from the slot six seconds earlier. Howard would deny Cammalleri on three consecutive snap shots from between the circles with the Devils on a power play late in the second. Cammalleri finished the game with six shots on goal. Nyquist scored his third goal in five games on a power play 8:51 into the second. O'Neill was called for slashing, and 11 seconds later Nyquist redirected a pass by Henrik Zetterberg from the slot that hit the right post and then the back support inside the net to give the Red Wings a 1-0 lead.

NY Rangers @ Edmonton 5-7
The Oilers and Rangers turned back the clock on Glen Sather Night by staging a 1980s-style shootout at Rexall Place. Taylor Hall scored the go-ahead goal with 1:34 remaining in the third period, Lauri Korpikoski had his first NHL hat trick and the Oilers outscored the Rangers 7-5 in a game reminiscent of Edmonton's glory years. All of the Oilers' Hockey Hall of Fame members, with the exception of Wayne Gretzky, were in attendance on a night when Sather was honored by his former team with a pregame banner-raising ceremony. What followed was a game in which the Oilers of the '80s would have felt right at home. Hall's game-winning goal came 12 seconds after New York's Rick Nash tied the game 5-5 with a power-play goal at 18:14. Off the ensuing faceoff, the Oilers came in 2-on-1 and Hall fired a pass from Leon Draisaitl past Antti Raanta, who replaced Henrik Lundqvist early in the third period, for his second goal of the game and 14th of the season. Korpikoski completed his hat trick by shooting the puck the length of the ice into the empty net with 37.7 seconds remaining.

Korpikoski scored the opening goal of the game 6:35 into the first period, jamming the puck past Lundqvist following a shot from Iiro Pakarinen. Zuccarello tied it at 12:16, taking a pass from Kreider in front of the net and firing the puck past Nilsson. Korpikoski put the Oilers back in front at 15:47, lifting a shot over Lundqvist after the puck bounced to him in front. Purcell made it 3-1 at 16:57 when he took a drop pass from Hall in the slot and fired a shot over Lundqvist's shoulder. Kreider beat Nilsson with a backhand shot 53 seconds into the second period to make it 3-2, and Brassard tied it at 8:44, floating a long wrist shot past Nilsson. But Hall put the Oilers in front 18 seconds into the third period when he took a pass from Purcell and backhanded a shot past Lundqvist. Nurse ended Lundqvist's night at 2:40, taking a pass from Hall in the slot and picking the bottom corner for his second of the season to give Edmonton a 5-3 lead. Brassard scored at 6:28 to pull New York to within a goal, getting to a loose puck sitting in the crease after Nash hit the post. Nash tied the game 5-5 on the power play after Purcell took a late crosschecking penalty deep in the Rangers' end.


Carolina @ Anaheim 5-1
Jeff Skinner opened the scoring following a strong shift by Anaheim's top line. He took a clearing pass from Ron Hainsey in the neutral zone, carried the puck into the Ducks end on a 2-on-1 break and snapped it past goalie John Gibson from the right faceoff circle at 16:50. Skinner scored again at 11:35 of the second to put the Hurricanes up 2-0. Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau challenged the goal, claiming a Carolina player interfered with Gibson, but it was upheld after video review. After Andrew Cogliano was sent to the penalty box for high sticking, Elias Lindholm scored on a slap shot at 16:53 of the second period to put the Hurricanes ahead 3-0. Jakob Silfverberg scored Anaheim's goal at 14:09 of the third period when he tipped in a pass from Sami Vatanen to cut the Carolina lead to 3-1. A little more than two minutes later, Jordan Staal put the game away with his sixth goal. The Ducks were down a man most of the game after center Nate Thompson received an elbowing major and a game misconduct for a hit on Faulk at 6:25 of the first period.
