A few days in the sun proved to be all St. Louis goalie Jaroslav Halak needed. Halak stopped 22 shots and Jamie Langenbrunner scored in the second period to lead the Blues to a 1-0 win over the Los Angeles Kings on Friday night. Fresh off a four-day vacation in Jamaica with his girlfriend, Halak stopped Justin Williams from point-blank range with just over five minutes left in the third period to...
Jarome Iginla took advantage of the struggling Blackhawks. It's been a common theme for Chicago on this road trip. Iginla had a goal and an assist to help the Calgary Flames beat the Blackhawks 3-1 Friday night. "It was really nice to see that one go in," said Iginla, who had six shots and put another shot off a goal post.
A little extra time on the clock went the Columbus Blue Jackets' way this time in Southern California. Derick Brassard scored his second goal with 1:05 left in overtime, and Columbus snapped its six-game skid with a come-from-behind 3-2 victory over the Anaheim Ducks on Friday night. Jeff Carter forced overtime with a power-play goal in his return from a 10-game absence with a separated...
Mark Eaton's latest goal was as important to the New York Islanders as it was rare for him to score. Eaton scored 2:35 into overtime in his 600th NHL game to give the Islanders a 2-1 win over the Ottawa Senators on Friday night. The 34-year-old defenseman took a pass from Milan Jurcina and put the puck into an open right side for his 24th NHL goal -- his first since Nov.
Florida's Kris Versteeg didn't feel well going into Friday's game. He felt much better afterward. Sean Bergenheim scored a go-ahead goal in the second period and the Florida Panthers beat the Winnipeg Jets 2-1 Friday night. Versteeg also scored a goal for Florida, while Scott Clemmensen stopped 20 shots.
Sam Gagner was still having trouble Friday believing his name is in the Edmonton Oilers record book alongside the likes of Wayne Gretzky and Paul Coffey. Gagner moved himself into such lofty company after registering a club record-tying eight points in Edmonton's 8-4 win over the Chicago Blackhawks on Thursday.
Darryl Sittler knows exactly how Sam Gagner felt. "Everything falls into place," he said. "Every shot you take pretty well goes in or you make a pass and the guy completes it. It's magical those types of nights. They don't happen very often." Gagner finished with eight points -- four goals, four assists -- in Edmonton's 8-4 victory over Chicago on Thursday night.
New Jersey Devils forward Patrik Elias has been fined $2,500, the maximum allowed under the Collective Bargaining Agreement, for boarding Montreal Canadiens forward Mike Blunden during a 5-3 win on Thursday. The incident occurred at 18:54 of the first period. A minor penalty for boarding was assessed on the play.
During a season in which very little as gone right for Ryan Miller and the Buffalo Sabres, the goalie prefers hedging his bets on when -- or even whether -- he'll catch Dominik Hasek in the franchise record book. And it makes no difference that Miller's 234 career wins have him only one away from breaking The Dominator's mark, or that it could happen as early as Saturday, when the...
The Pittsburgh Penguins signed center Joe Vitale to a two-year, $1.1 million contract extension on Friday, locking up a 26-year-old who has earned a regular spot in the lineup this season. Vitale has three goals and seven assists while dressing for 44 of Pittsburgh's 51 games, filling a third- or fourth-line role and serving on the Penguins' fourth-ranked penalty-killing unit.
