Here are the scores from last night's games(lots of 'em!
)
1. Nashville beat Detroit 3-1. Again, Detroit has not been able to score goals since that two-game period where they scored a ton of them. Nashville has won 6 straight and Detroit is still struggling to score goals.
2. The Islanders beat Toronto 4-3 in overtime. I am not really too angry about this loss(except for Toskala reverting to his pylon ways in the 2nd period). The Leafs had over 60 shots for the game, and came back from down 3-0! They also got a point, which was better than nothing.
3. The Rangers smoked Columbus 7-4! Gaborik had 2 goals and 2 assists, and even Sean Avery had 2 goals! Mason looked like garbage again(he is certainly not playing like he did last year when he won the Calder trophy) and the defense was non-existent.
4. Ottawa beat Washington 4-3 in overtime. Washington lost, Ovechkin did not get a goal, so there are some positives. I am still not a fan of Ottawa though, so I would have been satisfied if they had lost also.
5. Pittsburgh beat Florida 3-2 in overtime. Fleury looked half-decent in net for a change. He's been decidedly average the last little while. Florida's first loss in a while.
6. Boston beat St. Louis 4-2. Lucic got another point tonight, so he doesn't appear to be showing any ill-effects from missing a fair amount of time due to injury. Rask started in goal again, so Thomas is
definitely injured.
7. Dallas beat Carolina 2-0. Looks like Carolina poor offense reared it's ugly head again. Are they going to be able to right the ship again, or will they start another lengthy losing streak?(The Leaf fan in me hopes they do!)
8. Colorado beat Philadelphia 5-4. That is now three losses in a row for Philly. I don't think this streak will last too much longer, but it certainly is puzzling why they are struggling so badly right now(no significant injuries except for Gagne and he wasn't producing before going on IR).
9. Edmonton beat Phoenix 4-0. A good way to start a winning streak.
10. Anaheim beat Calgary 3-2 in the shootout(only one this evening, thank goodness!). Iginla got another goal and Corey Perry is continuing with his point-a-game pace.
Another night done, another few tears shed(darn Leafs!).
