Trending: Michael Cammalleri was yanked in-game from this one by the team and not because of an injury. Trade to Calgary finally made official. See Twitter feed for initial reaction. Should be good for both Cammalleri and Rene Bourque. Yannick Weber (1G, 1 SOG) got Montreal on the board later in the third period and he has points in four of his six, although this was his first game since New Year’s Eve. Tomas Kaberle (1A, 2 SOG) already had 1-7-8 in 13 GP with MON, while David Desharnais (1A, no SOG) had five points in five games before tonight.

Top PP times: Timonen (2:32), Hartnell, Giroux, Briere, Jagr (2:21)

Trending: Claude Giroux (1A, -2, 3 SOG) had gone three games without a point, but he has been more or less like clockwork most of this season with Jaromir Jagr (1A, -1, no SOG) and Scott Hartnell (1G, -1, 1 SOG). Wayne Simmonds (1G, +1, 0:51 PP, 3 SOG) has points in four of five now, so he’s turning that skid around. Kimmo Timonen (1A, 1 SOG) had one point in five tilts coming into this one.

Parenteau (1A, +1, 2 SOG) added his 35th point of what has been a terrific campaign.

Goaltending match-up: Craig Anderson (34/34) vs. Henrik Lundqvist (21/24, .875 SV%). This was Anderson's first shutout of the season and 17th of his career. He had two last year - both with the Sens.

Scratches: Ballard, Salo, Ebbett

Top PP times: Edler (3:44), H. Sedin (3:21), Kesler, D. Sedin (3:07), Bieksa (2:04)

Trending: You really never have to wait too long to see Henrik Sedin (1A, +1, 2 PIM, 2 SOG) and Daniel Sedin (1G, 1A, +2, 2 PIM, 1 SOG) in the scoring summary each evening. They finished this one off in overtime too. Alexandre Burrows (2G, +2, 0:51 PP, 2 SOG) had two points in six games headed in, but has been a solid mix of points and PIM in his customary spot on L1 with the twins.

Trending: Peter Mueller (-1, 13:10 TOI, 1:32 PP, 5 SOG) missed the last 41 games with a concussion. Health and shaking off the rust will be the key, but remember this guy is a big talent who'll continue to have a large role with this team when he's in the lineup. Ryan O’Reilly (1G, 1A, +1, 4 SOG) had 13 points in 19 GP coming in here. He’s been one of the locks for line combos each night with rookie stud-to-be Gabriel Landeskog (1G, +2, 2 PIM, 2 SOG) and Milan Hejduk (1A, +2, 2 PIM, 1 SOG).

Combos: Sergei Kostitsyn - Mike Fisher - Martin Erat/ Colin Wilson - David Legwand - Patric Hornqvist/ Jordin Tootoo - Nick Spaling - Gabriel Bourque/ Matt Halischuk - Craig Smith - Brian McGrattan/ Ryan Suter - Shea Weber/ Roman Josi - Kevin Klein/ Francis Bouillon - Ryan Ellis

Trending: David Legwand (2G, +1, 2 PIM, 4 SOG) ended a seven-game goalless drought tonight by getting his team on the board and then capping off the 0-2 hole comeback in overtime. Shea Weber (1A, -1, 5 SOG) has points in two of four since coming back into the lineup, while Mike Fisher (1A, 4:27 PP, 3 SOG) has six points in five games this month. Sergei Kostitsyn (1G, 0:41 PP, 1 SOG) has five points in his past five starts.

Scratches: Carson, Bourque, Wilson

Top PP times: Iginla, Jokinen, Glencross (2:32), Bouwmeester, Brodie (2:25)

Trending: This was the third game with Calgary for Blair Jones (1G, +1, 0:58 PP, 3 SOG) and first point. Not bad. Oh... and Mark Giordano (1A, +1, 21:28 TOI, 1:05 PP, no SOG) comes back into the lineup and delivers in overtime too. Pretty sweet. Lee Stempniak (1A, +1, 0:58 PP, 2 SOG) added his 20th point of the season and has five in six games this month alone.

Goaltending match-up: Kari Lehtonen (37/41, .902 SV%) vs. Jonathan Quick (34/38, .895 SV%). Lehtonen was roughed up right before the end of overtime when Drew Doughty drove to the net and was pushed by Sheldon Souray, but Lehtonen did finish the OT period and shootout.

Combos: Steve Ott - Jamie Benn - Michael Ryder/ Brenden Morrow - Tom Wandell - Loui Eriksson/ Eric Nystrom - Vernon Fiddler - Radek Dvorak/ Toby Petersen - Jake Dowell - Adam Burish/ Alex Goligoski - Stephane Robidas/ Nicklas Grossman - Trevor Daley/ Sheldon Souray - Mark Fistric

Scratches: Westgarth, Martinez, Drewiske

Top PP times: Johnson (7:04), Kopitar, Williams (6:07), Brown (6:06), Doughty (5:50)

Trending: Anze Kopitar (1G, 2A, -1, 4 SOG) was hit in a bad position by Brenden Morrow more than midway through the third period. Kopitar looked bad on the ice, but went off to the dressing room under his own power. Mike Richards (23 PIM) jumped in to fight Morrow and the Kings ended up short for four minutes on the play (instigating and extra two since Richards has a visor) because Morrow was not awarded a penalty for the hit. Judge for yourself. Regardless, it's at least a possibility we'll see Kopitar as the latest concussion victim. Speculation, but it was that kind of impact. His parents were in the stands tonight too. Ouch. Kopitar has a point in four of six with goals in B2B games for the first time since early November. Jack Johnson (1G, 2A, 3 SOG) has B2B multi-pointers. Justin Williams (2A, -1, 2 PIM, 4 SOG) has points in two in a row after three without one to open 2012. Drew Doughty (1A, -1, 2 PIM, 3 SOG) has points in three of four after three without one. Dustin Brown (1G, -1, 7 SOG) has points in three of five.
