Pittsburgh beat Ottawa 2-1. Crosby had a goal and an assist in this one. Letang scored the winner late in the third period.

As Tbone mentioned above, New Jersey beat the Flyers 5-3(the fifth goal was an empty netter). The first two periods were back-and-forth, but the third period was all New Jersey. Ilya Kovalchuk had a good night, scoring 1 goal and assisting on two others.

The Chicago/Nashville score actually gave me a jaw-dropping moment! I was following the game at work and when I left it was 1-0 Chicago at the end of the second period. When I checked the scores at home, it was a 4-1 victory for Nashville! Needless to say, I was quite surprised at that!

Detroit beat Phoenix 7-4. The seventh goal was an empty netter, but it looks like the Detroit offense has woken up. I think this series will go to seven games, but I don't believe that every game will be a blowout like this one. Zetterberg had a hat-trick in this one.

San Jose beat Colorado 6-5 in overtime. The Sharks shouldn't feel too good about this one, as Nabokov let in 5 goals from only 22 shots, and Anderson only let in 6 after facing 52 shots. San Jose got the tying goal at 19:28 of the third period, and then they were given a PP in overtime(the refs broke the rule of the playoffs. Unless it's taking someone's head off, you DON'T call anything in overtime!). The Sharks did nothing to make me think they still won't choke. Losing Game 1 at home, and barely winning Game 2 doesn't bode well for them having to now face Colorado on their home ice. I feel that Colorado will win in 6(maybe 5) games.

I also think that Greiss will start in net for Game 3 for the Sharks.
