DAL - 3 OTT - 4 30 y/o Senator backup goalie Nathan Lawson (6.0c) made his first NHL appearance since the 2010/2011 season with the NY Islanders and his teammates pulled out the victory for him on a late 3rd period goal from C Kyle Turris (2G/1A) (8.0c).
CGY - 5 CHI - 4 The Blackhawks flew back from Winnipeg this morning for the home game against the upstart Calgary Flames, and the Flames prevailed, scoring late in the third period on a SH goal by Matt Stajan (2G/0A) (6.5d) stunning the raucous crowd at the United Center. The Blackhawks last loss was back on Oct 17th against the rival Blues.
NJD -2 MIN - 4 Ageless G Marty Brodeur (8.0c) turned away 37 of 41 shots, but it was not enough as three Wild goals in the first period would be enough to defeat the tired Devils. Wild C Mikko Koivu (2G/0A) (8.0d) had both a PP and a SH goal to pace the winning squad.

WPG - G Ondrej Pavelec (7.0d/7.5d) suffered an undisclosed "Upper Body Injury" and will miss a couple games per the Jets press release. One beat writer wrote that "Pavelec certainly got hurt from whiplash and sunburn as the red light kept going off behind him all night." The Jets angrily denounced the report and called for an apology from the paper.
FLA - The first trade reply came into the "War Room" shortly after 9 am, as expected the Islanders turned down the trade offer, but what was surprising was the Islander's GM Garth Snow made no counter offer instead citing salary as the reason for not taking on the trade... Just to tweak him Bonehead sends back a counteroffer for C Franz Nielsen and his $2.5M salary in the trade. No word on the offer from San Jose yet and Bonehead turns his thoughts to new possibilities in the trade arena.
