[Tsawwassen]

Talk about a hattrick of 2-1 scores, all in western conference rinks. The Canucks win in reg time with Kassian getting the GWG. The Predators finally break out of their slump, but it was difficult. They won 2-1 in OT, Neal gets the GWG. The Coyotes rookie goalie, Domingue, was terrific in net facing 40 shots in the loss. The Sharks go 8 rounds to win in the SO and beat the Penguins. Fleury and Niemi both played well in this goalie dual. What a GWG by Tavares to beat the Leafs 4-3 in OT. His parents were present and amazed to see him score a goal like that. Detroit beat the stupid Oilers 5-2, no surprise there. The Ducks loss helps the Predators out as the 2 teams are tied for 1st place in the west and overall. The Islanders are now tied with the Habs for 1st in the east and are both just a point back of the western co-leaders. The Red Wings are only 5 back of the Isles and Habs and the Penguins just 4 back.
