NATIONAL HOCKEY LEAGUE
WINGS FLY PAST LEAFS

Back to back victories over the Toronto Maple Leafs highlighted a 3-0-1 week for the Detroit Red Wings, who overtook the Leafs for top spot in the National Hockey League. The week started with a 6-3 victory in Toronto Monday night followed by a 5-1 victory back at The Olympia on Wednesday. Dylan Turnbull was the hero of the night as the 40 year old goaltender turned aside 30 Toronto shots. Turnbull made 33 saves in a 2-2 tie with Chicago on Saturday and then on Sunday the Wings beat Boston 3-1 as Andy Adell had a goal and a helper.

AHL ROUNDUP

The Rochester Americans are starting to pull away from the pack in the AHL. The Amerks, the league's most successful franchise with 6 Calder Cup titles, are being led by 21 year old Jacob Vanderhoek (10-16-26) and 23 year old Preston Surgenor (10-14-24) along with 24 year old defenseman Austin Flanagan (6-15-21). Veteran presence is added in the form of career minor leaguer Joseph Novak, a 34 year old goaltender who has played over 700 minor league games and is the AHL's career leader in both wins (316) and losses (294). Neither Novak nor the young skaters mentioned above have ever suited up for an NHL game. Novak, a 2 time winner of the AHL's top goaltender award, was named the league's goalie of the month for October while teammate Vanderhoek was the player of the month.
