NHL Roundup – 12/10/14: Leafs, Kings Get On The Board
After all 30 teams played on Saturday night, you knew it was going to be a light schedule on Sunday, with the NHL not wanting to go head to head with the NFL on too many fronts. There were 2 games on the docket, with 2 struggling teams getting their first wins of the season. Here is you daily NHL roundup.
The Toronto Maple Leafs got goals from 6 different players and chased
Henrik Lundqvistfrom the net of the New York Rangers en route to a 6-3 win. After being the subject of much criticism during the Leafs 0-2 start (Senators fans aren’t the only ones prone to over-reaction), the Buds’ top line each had goals and combined for 7 points with
Phil Kesselscoring a goal and 2 assists, and
Tyler Bozakand
James van Riemsdykeach having a goal and an assist.
Cody Franson, making his season debut added a goal and an assist while
Nazem Kadriand
David Clarksonhad the other Toronto goals. Neither starting goalie lasted the game as
James Reimerleft the game early in the third period after being “knocked on the head” by Rangers forward
Dominic Moore.
Rick Nashscored for the Rangers before leaving after 2 periods to attend the impending birth of his child. Derek Brassard and
Lee Stempniakalso scored for the Rangers.
