NHL Roundup
In Buffalo, the Thrashers overcame a 3-1 first period deficit to beat the Sabres 7-4. Ilya Kovalchuck had a goal and two assists, as the win propelled Atlanta into first place in the Southeast Division ahead of idle Tampa Bay. In South Florida, the Kings beat the Panthers 3-2, marking the first time the Kings had ever beaten Florida on the road in seven visits (0-4-3). Roman Cechmanek had 33 saves for the Kings. Jamie Langenbrunner scored the game winner in OT, as the Devils beat the Sharks in New Jersey, 3-2. Scott Stevens had two assists to reach the 900 point mark for his career. Maritn Brodeur made only 13 saves to get the win for New Jersey. And in Nashville, the Canucks won their ninth straight game, 4-3 over the pesky Predators. Johan Hedburg had 23 saves, and Markus Naslund had three assists for the Canucks. Before the game, Canucks defenseman Bryan Allen was suspended for two games for slashing Red Wings forward Henrik Zetterberg -- a slash that broke Zetterberg's leg. The suspension will cost Allen a little more than $11,000. In other news, things are looking up for Ziggy Palffy. Mario Lemieux will return to the ice on Friday. The Red Wings will have to increase their Medicare contributions after signing 40-year old Steve Thomas to a one-year deal. UPDATE: Jason Scavone has a bone to pick with Buffalo head coach Lindy Ruff over last night's game with Atlanta. On The Wings weighs in on the Steve Thomas signing, while Steve Ovadia is musing over the situation in Detroit as well. ANOTHER UPDATE: Derian Hatcher of the Red Wings had surgery to repair a right knee ligament today, and is expected to miss 4-6 months. The Wings hope to have him back in time for the Stanley Cup Playoffs. That's if they make the playoffs. And if you have the time, check out this profile of Penguins rookie goalie Marc Andre Fleury by the AP's Alan Robinson.
