Preseason Recaps

On Thursday, September 19th there were seven NHL preseason games: there was Detroit at Boston, 7 p.m., Carolina at Buffalo, 7 p.m., NY Islanders at New Jersey, 7 p.m., Toronto at Ottawa, 7:30 p.m., Nashville at Tampa Bay, 7:30 p.m., Pittsburgh at Chicago, 8 p.m., and Minnesota at Winnipeg, 8 p.m. The first game was the Detroit at Boston game this was a pretty good game for the Red Wings. The final score was 8-2 Detroit. Detroit scored 2 points the first period than 2 points the second period and 4 points the third period. Detroit played every shift with a lot of energy. The next game was the Carolina at Buffalo game. The game was a good game for Buffalo. Buffalo won with a 5-2 win. Ryan Miller was in net and made some really good saves as well as let a couple past him. Both teams played a pretty good game, but Buffalo had the upper hand. The next game was the New York Islanders against the New Jersey Devils. The New York Islanders beat the New Jersey Devils 5-3. The Toronto Maple Leafs beat the Ottawa Senators 3-2. The Tampa Bay Lightning beat the Nashville Predators 5-1. The next game that night was the Pittsburgh at Chicago game. This game was a disappointment because Chicago lost in a shootout. I really was hoping that Chicago would pick up a win, but that didn't happen due to the fact that Pittsburgh won 4-3 in a shootout. The final game on the 19th was the Minnesota at Winnipeg game. Minnesota beat Winnipeg 4-1 in a blowout of a game. Then on the 20^th of September Chicago had another game and they set out to win it. They won this game 5-4 in a shootout against the Washington Capitals. There were a few more games on the 20^th but I’ll get into that in the next blog!
