Only 14 teams played last night in the NHL but here are your top performers.
1. Tyler Bozark- Toronto 21 Earned the top spot last night for his ability to control the faceoff circle going an impressive 22-4 at the dot. He also threw the puck on net twice and found teammate Nazem Kadri for an assist in the third. It wasn't enough for the Leafs however as they fell to the Sabres 2-1.
2. Pavel Datsyuk- Detroit 19 The fancy puck handler picked up two points with an assist in the second and the game-tying goal in the third that allowed the Wings to win in a shootout.
3. Saku Koivu- Anaheim 15 First of 3 Ducks on the list; all contributing in the team's 5-4 win over Calgary. Scored a first period goal on his only shot of the night as well as picking up two assists for a total of 3 points and +3 plus/minus.
4. Ryan Getzlaf- Anaheim 15 Had two hits as well as two goals in the Duck's effort. Third Period goal gave the Ducks insurance they needed as Lee Stempinak scored to bring the Flames back 5-4.
5. Daniel Winnik- Anaheim Koivu's linemate scored two goals and assisted on Koivu's goal. Also had two hits and a takeaway.
6. Andy McDonald- St. Louis 15 The 35-year old veteran scored a powerplay goal in the first and assisted on Vladimir Tarasenko's goal. Sent two predators to the ground and blocked a shot in their 4-3 shootout win in Nashville.
Other Notable Statistics
Milan Lucic led the NHL with 10 hits in the Bruin's 2-1 win over the Winnipeg Jets.
Phil Kessel of Toronto had 7 Shots on Goal, but did not put the puck in the net on any of them.
Curtis Glencross scored 2 PP goals for the Flames in the 5-4 loss to the team formerly known as the Mighty Ducks.
Patrick Kaleta of Buffalo was in the box for 16 minutes including a 10 minute misconduct.
6 Goalies as well
2. Craig Anderson- Ottawa 6 Pitched a shutout against the Panthers saving 31 of 31 shots, not much else needs to be said other than the Senators won 4 nil.
3. Ondrej Pavelec- Winnipeg 6 In the Jets 2-1 loss to Bruins in a shootout Pavelec stopped 26 of 27 shots before letting 2 slip in during the shootout.
4. Tuukka Rask- Boston 6 The goalie taking over for Boston's old neo-conservative (i.e. nazi) starter, Tuukka played the same in regulation as his opponent above but he only allowed one shootout goal.
5. Anders Lindback- Tampa Bay 6 Lost 4-3 in regulation to the soon to be moving Islanders. His .909 save percentage isn't that impressive until you realize that he faced an NHL high 44 shots.
6. Ryan Miller- Buffalo 6 Didn't watch the game so I do not know if he got as lucky as he did against the Flyers but he stopped 34 of 35 shots for .971 save percentage 2-1 win in Toronto.
