SCORES
VAN - 2 BUF - 3 It took OT this time but the Buffalo Sabres found a way to win. LW Tomas Vanek (8.0d/8.0d) scored in OT and also had an assist as the Sabres won their seventh game this season.
PIT - 4 PHI - 2 As both teams from Pennsylvania struggle early in the season, the Penguins used a goal and an assist from both RW Beau Bennett (6.5a/8.0a) and LW Jussi Jokinen (7.5b/7.5b) to beat the Flyers on the road.
MIN - 1 TBY - 2 The Wild played the Cardiac Kids again, this time on the road but fell short in OT. C Steven Stamkos (10.0a/10.5a) slammed home a rebound of a D Victor Hedman (8.5a/9.0a) slapshot to give Tampa Bay the needed win.
LAK - 4 NAS - 3 The Kings LW Tyler Taffoli (6.5c/7.5c) scored twice on the PP, but it took LW Kyle Clifford's (6.5b/7.0b) amazing backhander over the goalies sprawling shoulder to give the Kings the shootout win.
CAR - 2 TOR - 3 Toronto finally put a stop to the Carolina win streak in a hard fought game. C Nokolai Kulemin (6.5c/7.0c) scored the game winner in the third period after a literally impossible PP goal from the Hurricanes D Tim Gleason (7.5b/7.5b) at the 20:00 start of the third period tied the game. Toronto's LW James Van Riemsdyk (8.0d/8.5d) had a goal and an assist in the game also.
CLB - 4 MTL - 2 Columbus rode C Artem Anisimov's (7.5b/7.5b) 2G/1A performance to a victory over the Habs at the Bell Centre.
SJS - 3 DAL - 5 The visiting Sharks could not get the win and trailed throughout the game after giving up 3 goals in the first period. First star D Sergei Gonchar (6.5a/6.5a) paced the Stars with a two assist evening and outstanding defensive play.
EDM - 6 NYI - 2 The visiting Oilers just poured more misery on the early season struggles of the Isles. Oilers D Nick Schultz (7.0d/7.0d) scored and had two helpers and First Star LW Mark Arcobello (6.0d/6.5d) scored and had an assist while the Isles provided no help to their goalie allowing 45 shots.
NJD - 4 OTT - 5 First Star C Kyle Turris (8.0c/8.0c) dominated G Marty Brodeur (8.0c/8.0c) and the Devils tonight with a 2G/3A 5 point night. The Devils who once led 3 - 1 and actually tied the game in the third period before the Sen's RW Bobby Ryan's (8.0d/8.0d) deflection got past Brodeur with 7:24 left in the third and would stand as the game winner.
STL - 6 CHI - 5 The visiting Blues used RW Chris Stewart's (7.5a/7.5a) two goals and assist to run out to a 6 - 2 lead then hung on in a furious third period rally by the Blackhawks who wasted a fine two goal performance by LW Patrick Sharp (8.5b/8.5b) in the loss. A two hander across LW Brandon Bollig's (6.5b/6.5b) head by RW TJ Oshie (8.0a/8.0a) in the third period caused Oshie to get a 5 min penalty and the ire of the United Center fans. Bolling recovered and stayed in the game.
DET - 1 COL -3 Three first period goals including two ES goals by Matt Duchene (8.0d/8.5d) was more than the visiting Red Wings could handle. Av's G Semyon Varlamov (8.0c/8.0c) faced only 22 shots and got his league leading sixth win of the season.

In other NHL news;
NJD - Not only did the Devils lose the game, LW & Captain Patrik Elias (8.0d/8.0d) left the game and insider reports are saying he has a shoulder injury. Official reports are identifying an "upper body injury" with no timetable for return at this point.
CHI - a mystery was solved as C & Captain Jonathan Toews (9.5d/9.5d) skated in the pregame but did not dress or play in tonight's game. Toews has been diagnosed with a quad injury and his return to the lineup is estimated to be a month or more.
STL - also injured in the game in Chicago tonight LW Brendan Morrow (7.5b/7.5b) was holding his right glove against his body after an uncalled slash by Chicago late in the second period. Morrow is expected to return to St. Louis for x-rays and his timetable for return is uncertain.
PIT - A surprise trade has caught everyone flatfooted, D Brooks Orpik (7.0c/7.0c) a stalwart longtime Penguin blueliner is going to the Chicago Blackhawks for a seventh round pick in this years upcoming draft. Pittsburgh talk radio pundits are stunned and are calling GM Shero's move "A horrible trade" and "a pure salary dump".
