Brayden Schenn had the game of his career yesterday scoring two goals and assisting on another during the Flyers 5-3 win. This game was odd for the fact that both teams were nailed for Too Many Men on the Ice penalties about 30 seconds apart from each other in the second period. The Jets got off to a quick start when Evander Kane scored 5 minutes into the game but "little Schenn" scored with 5 left in the first with help from Danny Briere and Wayne Simmonds to send the game 1-1 into the second period. The Second period started off rough for the Flyers as Olli Jokinen and Alex Burmistrov scored unanswered to give the Jets a 3-1 win. Dustin Byfuglein's assist on Burmistrov's goal was his second of the game (also assisted on Kane's goal). Claude Giroux then scored his 6th goal of the year to cut the deficit down to one entering the third period. It took six minutes for anything to happen in the third period when Brayden Schenn scored assisted by Jakub Voracek and Claudge Giroux to tie the game 3-3. Schenn and Voracek got their name on the boxscore 2 and a half minutes later when they assited on Wayne Simmonds' 7th goal of the year as the Flyers broke into the lead. With one second left in the game Zac Rinaldo proved how cheap he is by netting an empty-net goal. Danny Briere got the most out of his 9 minutes of ice time getting an assist and firing 3 shots on goal. Braydon Coburn did not have any turnovers (somehow) but did finish with a disappointing -2 while Luke Schenn played one hell of a game beating Evander Kane in a fight and hitting 5 Jets. Scott Hartnell also returned from injury playing 15 minutes.
NBA Recap
Monta Ellis though he was the hero last night scoring with 10 seconds to give the Milwaukee Bucks a 101-100 lead over the Hawks but it wasn't that simple. Al Horford responded on the next possession with a field goal of his own and the Hawks all of a sudden had their own one point lead. Monta Ellis then had another opportunity to be the savior but his midrange jumper just didn't go into the net as the Hawks won 103-102. Al Horford and Jeff Teague had 23 a piece for the Hawks (with Horford also grabbing 11 boards) and Milwaukee was led by Ersan Ilyasova who had 19 points and 9 rebounds. Larry Sanders had an incredible 19 rebounds.
Emeka Okafor's free throw with 5 seconds left was the deciding factor in the 105-103 Wizards' win over the Houston Rockets.

Ovechkin broke the tie himself a minute into the third period and then completed the hat trick with 5 minutes left. Troy Brouwer scored his 8th goal of the year with 3 minutes left to seal the 5-1 win.
Edmonton pulled out great comeback to down the Coyotes 3-2 in a shootout. Kyle Chipchura and Matthew Lombardi scored the first tow goals of the game as the Coyotes took a 2-0 lead. The Oilers did not score until four minutes left in the second period when Jordan Eberle scored his sixth goal of the year assisted by Nail Yakupov and Sam Gagner. The Coyotes held onto the lead for the rest of the second but Teemu Hartikainen scored on the powerplay for his first goal of the game. From there the game went to a shootout where Sam Gagner scored on the first attempt of the shootout followed by Mikkel Boedker failed attempt for the Coyotes. On the Oilers' second attempt, Jordan Eberle slid the puck pat Mike Smith. The game was then put on the shoulders of David Rundblad who failed to score on the last attempt of the shootout.
Dustin Brown got the Kings off to a quick start with a goal less than a minute into the game. Jeff Carter then followed up about 15 minutes later with an assist from his former Flyer teammate Mike Richards to increase the lead to 2-0. Milan Hedjuk put a little bit of a break in the Kings' domination with a goal at the beginning of the second period. It wasn't enough however as Trevor Lewis scored a shorthanded goal a minute later. Anze Kopitar put the game out of reach at the end of the second at a score of 4-1.
The Red Wings made Pekka Rinne look life a living hell yesterday pouring in 4 goals. Jimmy Howard played a great game blocking 33 shots to help the Wings blank the Predators 4-0. The Red Wings got off to a fast start with Drew Miller's goal 5 minutes into it. The Pred's offense outshot the Wings' by 6 but they were not able to take care of the puck committing 7 giveaways.
In Carolina, the Lightning returned to their high scoring ways after a recent scoring drought with a 5-2 win over the Hurricanes. Steven Stamkos netted his 12th goal of the year last night.
The Rangers and Canadiens played a game at almost snails pace with only 35 shots between the teams. The sloppy play included a total 25 shots and the Canadiens beat the Rangers by 1 in each category. The Canadiens won the game 3-0 with all goals coming in the third period.
In an all-Ontario Matchup the Senators and Maple Leafs played a game that went down right to the wire. The game was tied 2-2 with only 40 seconds left on the clock when Colin Greening scored on Ben Scrivens to give the Senators a 3-2 win.
In St. Louis, Chris Stewart of the Blues scored in the first and Matt Calvert scored in the second to set up an interesting third period. Things seemed to be heading towards overtime but David Perron's goal halfway through the final frame gave the Blues a 2-1 win. P.S. This is great there is a game between the BLUES and BLUE Jackets, that is all.
The Stars defeated the San Jose Sharks 3-1 in a game that was closer than the score. The Sharks out shot the Stars and also did a better job controlling the puck limiting themselves to 5 turnovers and winning 34 of 67 faceoff draws.

Alex Tanguay opened up the scoring two minutes into the game to give the Wild a 1-0 lead. Charlie Coyle scored his first goal of the year and the Wild's only of the night to tie it up in the second.
