Everyone helped themselves on Tuesday night.
Toronto was able to stay focused on the game at hand, and defeated the Devils 2-1.
Montreal squeeked out a 1-0 win against Boston.
And the Fishermen got a point and some more good news as Rick DiPietro looked alright in his return to the Islanders’ net. The Lightning continued their dominance over the Islanders, however, winning 4-3 in overtime. Tampa Bay won all 4 meetings from NYI this season, and have taken eight in a row from them.
There’s no real big Eastern Conference game tonight, although the Rangers are in action at home against the Flyers. Out west, all eyes are on the Nashville – Vancouver game that will kick off at 10pm EDT. The Predators are chasing the President’s Trophy, and are 5-0-1 in their last six against the Canucks.
And speaking of trophies, there’s discussion over at Mirtle’s site about a running poll of hockey writers and their favorites to win hardware this season.
One final note, if you’re interested in the NCAA Hockey Championship tournament, Hockeydirt.com is holding a bracket of their own.
Stop over and represent the Frog.
