    Greiss topped the NHL with 116 saves on 121 attempts and would have a 3-1-0 record, with a 1.25 goals-against average as well as a .959 save percentage and one shutout to lift the Islanders (42-23-7, 91 points) back into first place in the Metropolitan Division.

    Greiss, 22-12-2 record through 40 total appearances this season, is among the top five goaltenders in goals-against average (4th; 2.21), save percentage (4th; .928) and shutouts (t-5th; 5).

     

    The Second Star of the Week went to Chicago Blackhawks LW Brendan Perlini.

    Perlini, with five goals (5-2—7 in 3 GP), tied all scorers for the week and he would go on  to help the Blackhawks extend their win streak to five games and Chicago is now within five points of the final playoff spot in the Western Conference.

     

    Perlini registered his first career hat trick against his former team in a 7-1 victory over the Arizona Coyotes last Monday night.  Perlini would go on to have his second consecutive three point performance two nights later when the Blackhawks would defeat Toronto last Wednesday night.  Perlini would go on to add his fifth goal of the week with his goal last Saturday (March 16th) against the Montreal Canadiens.

     

     

    The Third Star of the Week went to Edmonton Oilers C Connor McDavid.

    Connor McDavid would go on to lead all NHL skaters with three goals and six assists last week in four games played.

    Over the week, McDavid would also cross the 100-point mark in the season for the third consecutive season.  In doing so, he would join an exclusive class of players to hit that mark in three straight seasons.

    Throughout the week, McDavid would also continue his multi-point streak to eight contests and in those eight contests, he has three goals and 15 assists, good for 18 points.

  • Isobel Cup Final Recap – 3/17/19 – #2 Buffalo Beauts v. #1 Minnesota Whitecaps

    Isobel Cup Final Recap – 3/17/19 – #2 Buffalo Beauts v. #1 Minnesota Whitecaps

    #2 Buffalo Beauts v. #1 Minnesota Whitecaps

     

    Game Recap:

    The Isobel Cup has come to Minnesota as the #1 ranked Whitecaps host the #2 ranked Buffalo Beauts. To start the game, both teams would feel eachother out and see who would make the first mistake to see who can capitalize. The Whitecaps would get the first powerplay opportunity when Kelly Babstock would be called for Slashing, but the Beauts would kill off the penalty and generate an offense rush for themselves leading to Emily Pfalzer letting go of a bomb from the point to give the Beauts a late 1-0 lead. However, the Whitecaps would not sit back, and they would force a turnover and break Amy Menke into the Beauts zone to score top shelf above Nicole Hensley’s glove to tie the game with less than two minutes in the first period.

     

    For the second period, we would see a lot of back and forth between the two teams, however, the period would be plagued with four tripping penalties and neither team capitalizing on their powerplay opportunities. Both Hensley and Amanda Leveille played spectacular im this period.

     

    For the third period we would see things heat up as both teams trade chances and getting really close calls to swing the game their way, but both teams are getting great goaltending, some solid defense, and most importantly some really, really lucky bounces. However, neither team could get that next goal before the end of regulation, so this game will now go into overtime.

     

    In overtime it would only take 49 seconds for Lee Stecklein to bomb a point shot from a Katie McGovern pass to win the Minnesota Whitecaps their first ever Isobel Cup Championship in their first season in the NWHL.

    Game Recap – 3/16/19 – Washington Capitals v. Tampa Bay Lightning

    Washington Capitals (42-22-7 91pts) v. Tampa Bay Lightning (54-13-4 112pts)

     

    Game Recap:

    The Washington Capitals head to Tampa Bay for the first time since eliminating the Lightning in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals, however, it would be Lighting getting some early revenge as the would work a turnover into an odd man advantage to give Tyler Johnson his 26th goal of the season. Then less than two minutes later, Alex Killorn would score to give the Lightning a 2-0 lead, but the Capitals would respond as they would get a lucky bounce resulting in a John Carlson bomb to cut Tampa’s lead to one. However, Killorn would force his way to the net through Nick Jensen, and then get his own rebound to net his second of the game and give the Lightning their two goal lead back. To end the period it would be a parade of penalties, but it would be the Lightning getting to start the second period with an abbreviated 5 on 3 powerplay.

     

    The Capitals would start the second period killing off Tampa’s two man advantage, and then on a Nikita Kucherov interference penalty it would be Alex Ovechkin netting his 47th of the season on the powerplay to cut Tampa’s lead to one again.

     

    To start the third period the Lightning would kill the Capitals remaining powerplay time then on a weak goal it would be Erik Cernak scoring his 4th of the season to give Tampa a 4-2 lead. However, later in the period Alex Oveckin would net his second of the game to bring the Capitals back within one. But it would not be enough for the Capitals as Tampa would get a pair of empty net goals from Killorn and Yanni Gourde to ice this game for the Lightning 6-3.
