Dumba opens the scoring CHI@MIN: Dumba nets juicy rebound for an early lead 51 • 4:30 AM "The win," he said.Minnesota's third line of Erik Haula centering left wing Nino Niederreiter and right wing Jason Pominville combined for three goals and eight points. Pominville had a goal and two assists."Our line has been playing with confidence," Pominville said. "I think at one point [in the season] I was just thinking too much and not going out there and playing. And I just said go out there and play and have fun and that's what we've been doing."Along with Pominville, Haula also had a goal and two assists to equal the record for points in a regular-season outdoor NHL game achieved by seven other players. Matt Dumba, Thomas Vanek and Ryan Carter also scored for the Wild (27-22-10), who extended their franchise-best streak of scoring five goals in a game to four straight games.Goaltender Devan Dubnyk, who made 31 saves for the Wild, had his shutout end with 7:55 left in the third when Patrick Kane scored along the goal line below the right circle. The goal by Kane was his 35th of the season for the Blackhawks (38-19-5).

Guns of the Patriots Posted March 4, 2016 Author Share Posted March 4, 2016 (edited) Credits NHL.com Penguins use big second period to defeat Rangers Pittsburgh scores three times in 1:39 against New York by Wes Crosby / NHL.com Correspondent 11:37 AM Penguins score two in 21 seconds NYR@PIT: Crosby, Malkin net goals 21 seconds apart3/3/16: Sidney Crosby gets the Penguins on the board in the 2nd, then Evgeni Malkin scores 21 seconds later to give the Penguins the lead PITTSBURGH - The Pittsburgh Penguins used a late surge in a contentious second period to defeat the New York Rangers 4-1 at Consol Energy Center on Thursday.Following a slow first period, the crowd ignited 6:17 into the second period when Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist dropped his stick and shoved the net off its moorings. Lundqvist was visibly upset after a collision with Rangers captain Ryan McDonagh and was called for delay of game, giving Pittsburgh a power play that Penguins forward Phil Kessel cut short with a slashing call 1:09 later.Rangers coach Alain Vigneault said he doesn't believe Lundqvist's injury to be serious. Lundqvist experienced neck spasms stemming from the McDonagh collision, which caused New York to pull him following the second. Vigneault said he thinks Lundqvist shoved the net in an attempt to get the referee's attention to inform him of his injury."I don't know if the signals didn't cross or whatever, but obviously the referee didn't pick up on it," Vigneault said. "And he wasn't feeling right at that time, so he decided to stay in but couldn't finish the game. … I didn't know [Lundqvist was hurt]. Nobody knew. I don't think [Lundqvist] made it very clear to the referee either, at that time. So, we knew that when we came in from the second that he was having issues with his neck there, but at that time, we didn't."Chris Kreider snuck a wrist shot between goalie Marc-Andre Fleury's blocker and the right post to give New York (37-21-6) a 1-0 lead with 3:10 remaining in the second. https://www.nhl.com/news/new-york-rangers-pittsburgh-penguins-recap/c-279329536?tid=279243536 Edited March 4, 2016 by Guns of the Patriots Quote Link to comment
