The Bulletin Board keeps you abreast of the latest news
around the NHL Monday-Friday.
- Dale Weise scored his first NHL
goal for the Vancouver Canucks last night. Weise was coveted by Vancouver for a full year before the Canucks were
finally able to claim him off waivers from the Rangers just prior to the start
of the season. He’s been a good fit on
Vancouver’s fourth line.
- Boston, Tampa Bay and Vancouver all picked up huge wins last
night. Each had gotten off to a rocky
start, but perhaps they’re ready to turn the corner.
- The Washington Capitals scored
three goals in 2:25 en route to a big win over the Philadelphia Flyers last
night. Washington is now 6-0-0 and tied
with Pittsburgh for the top spot in the Eastern Conference.
- Alex Ovechkin scored twice for Washington – his first multi-goal
game since March 9th.
- James Neal scored his NHL-leading seventh goal as Pittsburgh
cruised by Montreal, 3-1. Defenseman Brooks Orpik returned
to the lineup for the Pittsburgh.
- Tomas Vanek scored twice as Buffalo shutout the Florida
Panthers 3-0. Buffalo has allowed just
10 goals in six games.
- Jonathan Quick picked up his 100th career win for the Los
Angeles Kings. It was Quick’s second-straight
shutout.
- Check out this
save by Colorado’s Semyon Varlamov on Chicago’s Marcus Kruger last night.
- Montreal defenseman Hal Gill played in his 1,000th
career game last night.
- Toronto GM Brian Burke admits that Boston won the famous
Phil Kessel trade, “Peter Chiarelli has a ring. There’s no argument,” he
said.
- 30-year-old Bracken Kearns made
his NHL debut for the Florida Panthers last night. He’s far from the oldest rookie in NHL
history though - Connie “Mad Dog” Madigan played his first game when he was 38.
- Martin Havlat will make his debut for the San Jose Sharks
tonight. Havlat was acquired from
the Minnesota Wild for Dany Heatley this summer. Heatley scored a game-tying goal with two
seconds left in regulation last night to force overtime with Edmonton. The Wild ended up winning in a shootout.
- The Phoenix Coyotes recalled top
prospect Andy Miele.
- Vinny Prospal is not
impressed with the practice habits of the Columbus Blue Jackets.
There are four games on the schedule
tonight, but none will be nationally televised.
