The Sabres have sure turned it on since the Olympic break as they won their 3rd straight game, 4-2 over the Sharks. The magic of Ted Nolan coaching Team Latvia has carried over to the Sabres. Enroth put on a Miller time performance as he faced 38 shots in the win. Niemi only had 19 shots and no points for Pavelski. The back up for Enroth was Ryan Vinz, "the director of technology for Buffalo's HarborCenter and former video goaltending coach at Clarkson University, to a professional tryout agreement to dress as the backup." The Avs win 4-2 over the Coyotes. Varlamov stopped 40 Phoenix shots in the win. Landeskog had 3 points for the Avs and they are now just 3 points back of the Central Divsion leaders. The Blues lose 1-0 in reg time to the Ducks. Cogliano scored the winning goal at 3:39 of the 1st period. Hiller with the SHUTOUT with 18 saves. Elliot also 18 saves in the loss, his back up was "Jeff Tyni, a Ducks' locker room attendant, served as Elliott's backup." The Wild beat the Canucks 2-1 in the SO. The weird thing in the SO was that both teams went 0-6 until Fontaine scored and Booth was stopped. Kuemper played very well in net for the Wild, Lack was very good too in the Canucks net. Kesler scored a SHG and Parise had a PPG, both in the 1st period.
