A great Thursday night of action. There were 2 games that ended in the SO and two other games had SHUTOUTS. The Islanders beat their arch rival Rangers 4-3 in the SO at MSG. The Isles were down 2-0 after 1 period but scored 3 in the 2nd. Nabokov played well as he faced 39 shots, Biron took the loss for the Rangers. The Avs also win 4-3 in the SO over the Wild. The surprise there was the Wild finally scored more than 2 goals in a game. It was the first time in 7 games they've done that. The only other western game had Nashville beating the Coyotes 3-0. The Predators scored all their goals in the 3rd period. It was Pekka Rinne's 2nd straight SHUTOUT and 3rd in the last 4 games. That is Vezina trophy material. Erat had 2 assists. The Habs win 1-0 in OT against the Panthers in this goaltender's dual. Former Flame Rene Bourque scored the GWG. For such a low scoring game, it had lots offensive chances as Theodore and Price (who got the SHUTOUT) played well in net. The Capitals win their 3rd in a row as they beat the slumping Bolts 4-3 in reg time. It was close but not quite for Tampa as they were down 4-1 before scoring 2 goals in the 3rd period. Garon is the reason Tampa was in this game as he faced 39 shots. Reality hit the Leafs as their winning streak comes to an end, Carolina wins 3-1 at home. All the goals in this game came in the 2nd period.
