A Shut Out and a Shoot Out

Two NHL games last night 14 on tap tonight

The Arizona Coyotes won big on the road against a very good New Jersey team in a shoot-out and the Penguins dominated the Capitals with a shut-out in last night’s games.

Honorable Referees

In two games both home teams lost and four referees whistled 24 penalties resulting in 18 power plays with one game favoring the visitors but in that same shoot-out game, the home team enjoyed a 5-on-3 man-advantage which they scored with.

ESPN FHL

Another disappointing goaltending performance but gratefully still ahead by a baker’s dozen worth of points over this week’s opponent and with 28 out of 32 teams playing tonight each team manager could have serious roster decisions to make if most of their players can be inserted into the line-up.

Saturday Hockey

The Sabres play their first road game tonight in Long Island before playing these same Islanders next Saturday in Buffalo and an interesting early-season match-up is tonight’s rematch between the Oilers and the high-flying Canucks.
