Canes/Leafs - Canes have the Leafs number at TO, plus the Staal brothers finally put together a game in which both were going strong. Special teams were by far the diff tonight, Canes 2 for 4 on the PP while Leafs were 0 for 5 on the PP......enough said!
Minny/Yotes - This PHX team plays with such structure in their game at home than they do on the road. Very solid home team at 4-2-1 while Minny was chasing the puck for the 1st and 3rd periods. Yotes really controlled the puck possession aspect of the game and it showed. Strong game from Mike Smith in goal!
Stars/Avs - Avs badly outhit Dallas, outshot them and won the faceoff battle......if you can do that/couple that with last line change, you should have a great recipe for a win, but it was Dallas getting strong games from Morrow/Benn/Jagr.......that was the diff tonight.
Canucks/Oilers - Luongo played incredible again tonight, giving his team a chance to win! They tied it up late and skated circles around the Oilers defense at times. Canucks got far more pucks at the net, 33 on goal but the Oilers had 21 BS too! Oilers got schooled in the faceoff circle......H.Sedin was simply fantastic taking draws and it got the Oilers running around in the defensive zone alot in the 3rd period, which eventually led to the game tying goal. Canucks had numerous point blank chances but couldnt finish. Taylor Hall had a penalty shot in OT.......and had a weak attempt though! Canucks win it with 20 seconds to go in OT.
Sharks/Ducks - Battle of the back-up goalies! You had to think SJ would rest Niemi with the Hawks coming to SJ on Tues. night. Fasth has played very well in his 2 starts this year for the Ducks. Marleau had a breakaway in the 3rd period while SH 5 on 3, no joke, but Fasth poke-checked him! Still, the Ducks had a 2-man adv. for over a minute and did nothing. Ducks are due for a letdown.....they have had alot of tough/tight/physical hardfought games against SJ/Minny/LA over the last 4 days, now the Ducks go on a 6 game roadie.
**Lots of low scores on Monday night, an under bettors paradise**
