PITTSBURGH PENGUINS 0 @ WASHINGTON CAPITALS 1
Goaltending match-up: Marc-Andre Fleury (20/21, .952 SV%) vs. Tomas Vokoun (30/30). This was Vokoun's second shutout of the season and 46th of his career. He had six last year.
Combos: Chris Kunitz - Evgeni Malkin - James Neal/ Pascal Dupuis - Dustin Jeffrey - Tyler Kennedy/ Matt Cooke - Richard Park - Steve Sullivan/ Eric Tangradi - Craig Adams - Arron Asham/ Paul Martin - Zbynek Michalek/ Brooks Orpik - Deryk Engelland/ Matt Niskanen - Ben Lovejoy
Scratches: MacIntyre, McDonald, Vitale
Top PP times: N/A
Trending: Good news on the Sidney Crosby front, at least in a small way. He's slated to start skating and speak to reporters on Friday. He's with the team now too.
Combos: Alex Ovechkin - Marcus Johansson - Alexander Semin/ Mike Knuble - Brooks Laich - Troy Brouwer/ Jason Chimera - Jeff Halpern - Joel Ward/ Matt Hendricks - Mathieu Perreault - Jay Beagle/ Karl Alzner - John Carlson/ Dmitry Orlov - Dennis Wideman/ Roman Hamrlik - Tomas Kundratek
Scratches: Erskine, Green, Schultz
Top PP times: Ovechkin (3:07), Semin, Johansson (2:50), Carlson (2:06), Wideman (2:04)
Trending: Jason Chimera (1G, +1, 1:06 PP, 1 SOG) scored the game's first goal, but he hasn't done much for poolies in the past few weeks. Joel Ward (1A, +1, 0:44 PP, no SOG) has points in two of three, but many zeroes before that.
NEW JERSEY DEVILS 2 @ EDMONTON OILERS 1 (OT)
Goaltending match-up: Johan Hedberg (22/23, .957 SV%) vs. Nikolai Khabibulin (23/25, .920 SV%)
Combos: Zach Parise - Adam Henrique - Ilya Kovalchuk/ Petr Sykora - Patrik Elias - Dainius Zubrus/ Eric Boulton - Ryan Carter - David Clarkson/ Mattias Tedenby - Steve Zalewski - Cam Janssen/ Henrik Tallinder - Mark Fayne/ Bryce Salvador - Adam Larsson/ Anton Volchenkov - Kurtis Foster
Scratches: Palmieri, Zajac, Taormina
Top PP times: Foster, Elias, Kovalchuk (2:29), Parise (1:45), Sykora (0:44)
Trending: Ilya Kovalchuk (1G, 1A, +1, 6 SOG) not only has goals in four straight games, but also SHG in two of those four. Jersey has been deadly in that department. He had 22 points in 21 GP coming in here, including two-pointers in three in a row before the puck dropped this evening. Zach Parise (1G, 4 PIM, 5 SOG) collected his first GWG of the season and he did it in overtime. He has points in five in a row as well. Patrik Elias (1A, 2 PIM, 3 SO)G added his 40th point of the season.
Combos: Taylor Hall - Sam Gagner - Ales Hemsky/ Ryan Smyth - Shawn Horcoff - Ryan Jones/ Anton Lander - Eric Belanger - Magnus Paajarvi/ Darcy Hordichuk - Milan Kytnar - Ben Eager/ Ladislav Smid - Jeff Petry/ Theo Peckham - Corey Potter/ Colten Teubert - Andy Sutton/
Scratches: O'Marra, Eberle
Top PP times: Hall (5:55), Potter (5:38), Smyth (5:20), Horcoff (4:47), Hemsky (4:20)
Trending: Quit trying to run Ales Hemsky (1G, -1, 3 SOG) out of town. Just stop. Taylor Hall (1A, 5 SOG) has points in five in a row. He was really active tonight, as he has been lately. Corey Potter (1A, 2 PIM, 1 SOG) has points in four of six now. Magnus Paajarvi (-1, 13:53 TOI, 1:01 PP, 1 SOG) is back up from the minors, so now it's up to him to make the most of the opportunity.
