SCORES
DET -1 BOS - 3 LW Milan Lucic scored twice and G Tukka Rask stopped 35 shots in a sloppy, penalty filled game at TD Garden.
CLB - 5 NYI - 2 D Fedor Tyutin had a goal and an assist and four other players all scored ES tallies as the visiting Blue Jackets bombarded the Isles with 51 shots in an easy victory.
EDM - 4 VAN - 0 G Devan Dubnyk turned away all 32 shots and D Andrew Ference scored twice to even the Oilers record at 1 -1.
OTT - 6 TOR - 5 After a relatively quiet first period with no goals, both teams exploded for seven goals in the second period, and four more in the third providing an exciting finish Leafs. C Jay McClement scored twice, before LW Milan Michalek's second tally with 1:44 left in the game gave him a four point night and broke the hearts of the over 19 thousand Leafs fans who cheered valiantly all night.
BUF - 3 PIT - 1 Visiting Buffalo used two PP goals in a three goal first period to defeat the winless Penguins. Pens D Matt Niskanen may face additional discipline after a 5 minute illegal check to the head is reviewed.
WAS - 1 DAL - 6 RW Valeri Nichushkin lit the lamp twice and Dallas added three PP goals as the Stars easily handled the Capitals in a penalty filled game.
ARZ - 1 SJS - 2 C Andrew Desjardins had the GWG and the Sharks poured 41 shots on net but only escaped in a 2 - 1 victory at home.
PHI - 3 MTL - 4 LW Alex Galchenyuk scored his second goal of the game with 1:10 remaining to lift the hometown Hab's to victory. G Steve Mason handled 36 of 40 Montreal shots in the close loss
TBY - 2 CHI - 5 RW Patrick Kane scored twice and added an assist at home, as the Lightning stayed winless this season.
ANA - 3 MIN - 2 For the second straight game it took the shootout to decide the winner at the Excel Energy Center. This time the Wild C Kyle Brodziak missed the shootout net and Ducks LW Matt Beleskey went five hole on G Josh Harding for the win.

In Other News -
MIN - RW Jason Pominville did not return from the locker room after the first period in the game and there is no report on any injury at this time.
MIN - C Mikko Koivu was on the injury list after the game and upper body injury is the report with no timetable for return.
MIN - As the few remaining beat writers in the press room were pounding away on their laptops finishing the storylines, an unidentified staffer poked his head in the door and whispered "you guys should get up to the GM's office". A few took him up on the offer and quickly discovered that something WAS happening. An hour later the news was revealed that the Wild had traded 35 y/o G Niklas Backstrom (7.0d/7.0d) to the Toronto Maple Leafs for 30 y/o C Jay McClement (6.5c/6.5c) and 19 y/o C Dominic Toninato (4.0e/6.0e). One beat writer scouring the internet noted McClement's two goal performance tonight and quipped "Talk about selling high!" The players should be with their respective teams sometime tomorrow after passing routine physicals.
