Returns game summary content for a given game ID.
Uses the new NHL API gamecenter landing endpoint (api-web.nhle.com).
Note: The original statsapi.web.nhl.com endpoint has been retired.
This function now returns game summary data (teams, scoring, three stars)
from the gamecenter landing page instead of the old highlights/content data.
Value
Returns a data frame with game summary information including teams, scores, venue, and period scoring details.
