ANAHEIM vs. BUFFALO:
Anaheim dominated with a 6-3 win last night over the struggling, Buffalo Sabres. Both goalies for each team had a poor showing, with Hiller only stopping 14 of 17 shots, and Enroth giving up 6 goals on 29 shots. Corey Perry with 2 goals, and Ryan Getzlaf had a goal and 2 assists, and Emerson Etem is starting to make his name known, with 2 goals also. Mathieu Perreault back after short injury a few games ago, back at it with 2 assists and continuing to be a fantasy asset. Cody Hodgson with a goal and an assist, and Matt Moulson fitting in nicely with the top line with 2 assists. TAMPA BAY vs. ST.LOUIS:
Tampa Bay cooling off the Blues with a 4-2 win last night. Alex Killorn is on fire as of late since being put on the top line with, another goal and 2 assists last night, and now has 12 points in 14 games this year, with 5 points his last 2 games. Valtteri Filppula with a goal and one assist, 2 PIMS and a +1 on the night, so great night for fantasy owners. Steven Stamkos with another goal, giving him a four game goal streak, extending his point streak to 6 games. Alex Pietrangelo with his fourth goal of the year, and David Backes & Steen with the assists on that goal.
ISLANDERS vs. BOSTON:
John Tavares with a goal last night to help beat the Bruins 3-1 in Long Island. Thomas Vanek looking like he's finding momentum with 1 goal and 1 assist last night, and Kyle Okposo with a play maker (3 assists), giving him 5 points his last 2 games. Dougie Hamilton with the PP goal for the Bruins, and Chad Johnson giving Raask the night off and looked good even though he lost, looked good stopping 31 of 34 shots.
CAROLINA vs. RANGERS:
Rangers looking of old with their 5-1 win over the struggling Hurricanes last night. Derek Stepan with a hat trick and first 3 goals of the season last night, and Carl Hagelin with 2 goals of his own. Chris Kreider with 2 assists, and Mats Zuccarello with a play maker. This game pointed out 2 things for the Hurricanes association: 1) They need a starting goalie and that Justin Peters isn't that guy, and 2) Their blue line is struggling and doesn't have enough veteran depth on it.
TORONTO vs. VANCOUVER:
Vancouver coming out strong on this one and didn't let up all game, defeating the Leaf's 4-0 last night. James Reimer, even though he lost, was the only reason why Toronto was in striking distance for most of the game. Reimer stopped 43 of 47 shots and looked like he was the only one who was ready to play. Bad news for Toronto, Dave Bolland left the game after having a major laceration to his leg, and is out long term along with Tyler Bozak. Daniel Sedin with a goal last night, assisted by his brother Henrik, and Ryan Kesler. Roberto Luongo with the SO win, stopping all 21 shots he faced. Side note, Alexander Edler with an assist and a whopping 12 SOG during this game.
DETROIT vs. EDMONTON:
Detroit improved to 3-0 on their road trip through Canada, with a 5-0 victory over the laughable Oilers last night. Rookie goalie for the Wings, Petr Mrazek getting the start, and his first NHL shutout stopping all 14 shots to earn the victory. Darren Helm making his debut back in the lineup after missing almost 18 months with injury, and scoring the first goal of the game. Daniel Alfredsson with 2 assists, giving him 13 points in 15 games this year. Jakub Kindl with a goal and an assist and helping Detroit's blue line when Brendan Smith isn't in the penalty box.
