NHL Roundup


Joe Juneau got the winner in OT, as the Canadiens beat the Bruins in Boston, 1-0. In Buffalo, Miroslav Satan got the 200th goal of his career, as the Sabres beat the Maple Leafs, 5-3.

In New York, the Rangers climbed back to the .500 mark with a 4-1 win over the Hurricanes. The Rangers win snapped a a six-game unbeaten streak for Carolina. Jamie Lundmark, getting some extra ice time after Chris Simon had been ejected, had a goal and an assist for New York.

In Tampa, the Lightning's six-game winning streak was snapped when they tied the Sharks, 2-2. In Ottawa, it was the Panthers who snapped the Senator's four-game win streak with a 3-2 win.

In New Jersey, the Devils rallied from a 2-0 hole for a 3-2 win over the Flyers. The win was the Devils' first at home this season.

Curtis Joseph's return to the NHL wasn't a happy one, as the Red Wings dropped a 5-3 decision to Nashville. For all the millions Detroit is dropping on Joseph and Dominik Hasek, it looks like Manny Legace is the best goaltender in town.

In lovely downtown St. Paul, the Wild beat the Thrashers, 3-2. Reminder: Walleye season is just around the corner. In Chicago, Pengunis rookie Marc-Andre Fleury got his first NHL shutout, and Konstantin Koltsov his first NHL goal, in a 1-0 win over the Black Hawks.

The Blue Jackets remain winless on the road after a 4-3 loss to Edmonton. The much-maligned Brad Isbister got the game-winning goal in OT. And in Los Angeles, the Kings, despite the return of defensemen Mattias Norstrom and Aaron Miller, and center Mike Cammalleri, still lost 3-1 to the Canucks. The difference last night was Canucks goalie Dan Cloutier, who stopped 37 shots.

Ah, at least one day without another, "imploding Caps, drop another" headline. The fact that they didn't play last night helps, but hey, I'll take that.
