10-30-07 Inside the NHL Boxscore
- Tampa's Dan Boyle returned to the lineup for the first time this season last night. He skated just 10 shifts for 11.5 minutes - 5.5 on the PP. Paul Ranger, Shane O'Brien, and Filip Kuba continue to pull the weight of the minutes while Boyle returns to full strength.
- Vincent Lecavalier has been a much more physical player this season than in years past. He registered 5 hits last night against the Rangers and leads the Lightning with 22 hits on the season. He's been throwing his weight around in every game I've seen him play in, especially of late, and even went two straight games last week with a fighting major. Vinny has 30 PIM to go with his 12 points (6-6) in 10 games.
- The Sharks were down 1-2 more than halfway through the third period last night in Dallas before scoring 3 goals in three minutes to win 4-2. San Jose played well throughout, but just couldn't put the puck in the net until late in the game. Devin Setoguchi scored his first two goals of his career off passes from Joe Thornton. Setoguchi started the game skating with Patrick Marleau but was moved over to skate with Thornton and Mihalek in the third period.
