    D Daniel Milan, FLA: 1-0-1, +1, 1 SOG, 5 PIM (fighting)
    Season totals: 37 GP, 2-5-7, +5, 52 PIM

    Defenseman Brent Henley scored the game-winner with just 26 seconds remaining in overtime to give Florida, which squandered a 4-1 lead it had built up over the course of the first two periods, a key victory that keeps the visitors in the hunt for the South Division title. Danick Gauthier, in his first game action after being assigned from Syracuse, scored the fourth goal for the Everblades midway through the second period after throwing the puck on net from the boards and getting a fortunate bounce off the opposing goalkeeper. Dan Milan pounced on loose rebound for his first goal in 32 games, which gave the visitors a 2-1 lead late in the first frame. Florida (30-20-10, 70 PTS) continues its four-game road trip Friday night against Fort Wayne (29-28-3, 61 PTS).

  • AHL Game Day: 3-6-13 Crunch at Marlies
    10 weeks 3 days ago

    Crushed in Toronto.

    SYR-3
    TOR-6

    Riku Helenius allowed 4 goals on 7 shots for the loss before giving way to Pat Nagle, who allowed 1 goal on 11 shots the rest of the way.

    First Period
    SYR Devos, (3) (Connolly, Taormina), 5:32 (PP)
    TOR Hamilton, (24) (Gardiner, Zigomanis), 9:55 (PP)
    SYR Brown, (8) (Tyrell), 14:28
    TOR Abbott, (7) (Colborne, Gardiner), 15:24

    Second Period
    TOR Ranger, (7) (Colborne, Zigomanis), 1:31 (PP)
    TOR Blacker, (3) (Ryan, D'Amigo), 2:27
    TOR Abbott, (8) (Hamilton, Ranger), 7:24 (PP)

    Third Period
    TOR Hamilton, (25) (Ryan, McKegg), 17:24 (EN)
    SYR Hutchings, (2) (Devos, Gudas), 18:27

    I can't tell you how strange it is to see original Bolt Prospects alumni Paul Ranger come back and help trounce the farm team.

    Syracuse has back-to-back games at St. John's on Friday and Saturday. There are 18 games left in the regular season and Syracuse is tied with Springfield at 75 points for the top spot of the East with the Falcons holding 3 games in hand. So, if they want home ice throughout, they need to snap out of this slump quick.

  • NA Juniors Game Night: 3-5-13
    10 weeks 4 days ago

    Ontario Hockey League

    Guelph Storm 4 @ Kitchener Rangers 6

    C/W Tanner Richard, GUE: 0-0-0, -1, 2 PIM
    Season totals: 45 GP, 8-49-57, +17, 92 PIM

    Four-seeded Kitchener distanced themselves from five-seed Guelph with a 6-4 win on Tuesday night. Lightning prospect Tanner Richard was scoreless in the match.

  • Elitserien Game Night: 3-5-13
    10 weeks 4 days ago

    Elitserien (Sweden)
    Brynas 2 vs. Linkopings 4

    Johan Harju, Brynas, 1-0-1, -2, 3 SOG, 0 PIM
    Season totals: 55 GP, 18-10-28, -9, 16 PIM

    In its regular season finale and with playoff action already a certainty, Brynas jumped out a lead early in the first but Linkopings would respond quickly and often, scoring three times in the first period and once in the second, to carry the match. Johan Harju opened the scoring in the first period when, while parked in front of and facing away from the net during a power play, he chipped a pass to his forehand side, wheeled and quickly shoved it on goal. The shot narrowly tucked past the outstretched right leg pad of opposing netminder Christian Engstrand and inside the right post, giving Harju his team-high 18th goal of the season and a fourth-place finish in total points. Skelleftea, the league's regular season leader in the standings, has chosen Brynas, which finished the regular season with a 17-20-6-12 record (75 points) that earned them the last playoff spot, to be its quarterfinals opponent. Both teams will square off for the first game of the pending series next Tuesday.

  • NHL Game Night: 3-5-13 Lightning at Devils
    10 weeks 4 days ago

    Hoping for floodgates...

    TB-5
    NJ-2

    Anders Lindback allowed 2 goals on 27 shots for the win. Little talked about fact: for as much negativity there is about the kid, Lindback's 8-5-1 this season.

    First Period
    17:04 TB Thompson (5), (Conacher, Palat)

    Second Period
    05:53 TB St. Louis (6), (Killorn, Lecavalier)
    13:13 TB Killorn (4), (St. Louis, Lecavalier)

    Third Period
    08:36 TB Thompson (6), (Conacher, Salo)
    13:44 NJ Henrique (6), (Carter)
    15:15 NJ Elias (6), (Zajac, Kovalchuk)(PP)
    18:40 TB Crombeen (1), (Hall, Thompson)(EN)

    Nate Thompson, Lindback, and Martin St. Louis were the game's three stars.

    The Lightning have to hope this opens the flood gates. If I view the glass half full, the team started to turn the corner against Pittsburgh. On paper I expected them to be blown out of that game so they exceeded expectations to carry a lead into the Third Period. To blow out a pretty good New Jersey team on the road is another hopeful sign. But, 1 win is just 1 win, and the Lightning need to string together several more in the next 2-3 weeks to get back to being viable as a playoff contender.

    Oh, and with 1 goal and 4 assists on the night, the kids are still alright. Jon Cooper develops one heck of a good brand of young hockey player.

    Alex Killorn had 1 goal and 1 assist and was +1 with 1 shot in 15:37. He's going to be a fixture in Tampa Bay for a long time, from the looks of it.

    Ondrej Palat had an assist and was +2 with 3 shots in 12:33.

    Pierre-Cedric Labrie had 7 penalty minutes, 1 shot, 1 hit, and 1 blocked shot in 8:26.

    Cory Conacher rebounded from -3 ugliness against the Pens with 2 assists, a +2 rating, 1 shot, and 1 blocked shot in 11:49.

  • KHL Playoff Game Day: 3-5-13
    10 weeks 4 days ago

    KHL Playoffs (Russia):

    Eastern Conference
    (3)Chelyabinsk 5 vs. (6)Astana 3
    Chelyabinsk Wins the Series 4-3
    Nikita Nesterov, Chelyabinsk, 0-0-0, E, 0 PIM, 0 SOG
    Playoff totals: 7 GP, 0-2-2, E, 6 PIM
    Regular season totals (KHL): 35 GP, 0-1-1, +6, 14 PIM
    Regular season totals (MHL): 2 GP, 0-0-0, E, 0 PIM

    Game Seven is no place for a rookie. That's why Nikita Nesterov only got 2 shifts and 1:01 of ice time in Chelyabinsk's 5-3 win over Astana. Ex-Blackhawks draft pick Petri Kontiola led the way with 2 goals, including the game winner. Astana got a goal from former Lightning forward Brandon Bochenski in defeat. Traktor moves on to face 2 seed Avangard Omsk.

    (4)Magnitogorsk 0 vs. (5)Ufa 2
    Chelyabinsk Wins the Series 4-3
    Andrey Vasilevskiy, Ufa, DNP
    Playoff totals: 0 GP, 0-0-0, 0 SO, 0.00 GAA, 1.000 sv%
    Regular season totals (KHL): 8 GP, 4-1-0, 1 SO, 2.22 GAA, .924 sv%
    Regular season totals (MHL): 27 GP, 20-6-1, 3 SO, 1.93 GAA, .930 sv%

    Iiro Tarkki stopped all 17 shots he faced in Ufa's 2-0 Game Seven win over Magnitogorsk. Ex-NHLer Nikita Filatov scored the game winning goal. Lightning prospect Andrey Vasilevskiy has not played in the playoffs thus far. Ufa draws the top seed, Ak Bars Kazan, in the next round.

  • NHL Game Night: 3-4-13 Lightning at Penguins
    10 weeks 5 days ago

    My God, the Lightning have become the Atlanta Thrashers.

    TB-3
    PIT-4

    Mathieu Garon allowed 1 goal on 13 shots before giving way to Anders Lindback who allowed 2 on 18 shots the rest of the way for the loss. Seems like we may see Cedrick Desjardins in a Lightning jersey again.

    First Period
    04:13 PIT Kunitz (12), (Crosby)

    Second Period
    02:39 TB Stamkos (16), (Hedman, St. Louis)
    11:59 TB Pyatt (5), (Thompson, Palat)

    Third Period
    05:38 PIT Malkin (5), (unassisted)
    07:29 PIT Crosby (11), (Letang)
    19:08 PIT Neal (14), (Malkin, Letang)(EN)
    19:52 TB Stamkos (17), (Lecavalier, St. Louis)

    Steven Stamkos was the game's third star.

    Seriously, my goodness, this team has turned into the Atlanta Thrashers. They're a team with a lot of offensive ability and one of the most dynamic scorers in the league, a la Kovalchuk back then, but they're completely unable to keep the puck out of the back of their own net and completely unable to make meaningful plays to win hockey games. So disappointing: a team that, on paper, should be so much better, but plays like less than the sum of their parts.

    Alex Killorn had 1 shot and 2 blocked shots in 16:22.

    Ondrej Palat had his first NHL point, a helper, and was +1 with 2 hits in 9:28 in his NHL debut. I have to admit to being especially proud of a guy like Palat. Here's a young man who was taken in the final round of the draft, overage, on a flyer. He was supposed to be organizational filler. Now he's an NHLer, for at least one night. It's the kind of story that underlines why the website exists.

    Pierre-Cedric Labrie was -1 with 5 penalty minutes, 2 shots, and 5 hits in 6:48. Active.

    Cory Conacher was an ugly -3 in 15:01.

  • NA Juniors Game Night: 3-3-13
    10 weeks 6 days ago

    Quebec Major Junior Hockey League

    Blainville-Boisbriand Armada 3 @ Gatineau Olympiques 2 (SO)

    C Cedric Paquette, BLB: 0-0-0, E, 0 PIM, 6 SOG, 4 Hits
    Season totals: 60 GP, 26-51-77, +25, 101 PIM

    Paquette led the Armada in hits with four. He did not participate in the game-winning shootout.

    Ontario Hockey League

    Ottawa 67’s 2 @ Brampton Battalion 4

    D Dylan Blujus, BRAM: 0-0-0, -1, 0 PIM
    Season totals: 61 GP, 2-23-25, -5, 51 PIM

    Brampton now holds onto the fourth seed in the Eastern Conference, tied with Sudbury but with a game in hand.

    Guelph Storm 4 @ Sudbury Wolves 2

    C/W Tanner Richard, GUE: 0-1-1, -1, 0 PIM
    Season totals: 45 GP, 8-49-57, +18, 90 PIM

    Richard notched his fourth assist of the weekend in a win over the Wolves. Guelph sits in fifth in the Western Conference, which has all eight playoff teams set.

  • AHL Game Night: 3-3-13 Crunch at Bears
    10 weeks 6 days ago

    Late game meltdown.

    SYR-3
    HER-5

    Cedrick Desjardins allowed 5 goals on just 19 shots. Ouch.

    First Period
    HER DiSalvatore, (15) (Taffe, Almeida), 6:53
    SYR Wilson, (5) (Jacques, Namestnikov), 8:47
    SYR Johnson, (29) (Panik, Barberio), 19:25

    Second Period
    SYR Oberg, (1) (Panik, Taormina), 1:43
    HER Taffe, (14) (Oleksy, Carman), 10:42
    HER Taffe, (15) (Carman, Schilling), 16:33

    Third Period
    HER Schilling, (6) (Taffe, DiSalvatore), 11:16
    HER Wellman, (11) (Oleksy, McNeill), 14:47

    Ondrej Palat did not dress for the Crunch, fueling speculation he may be on his way up to the show.

    Syracuse outshot Hershey 33-19, but still got belted on the scoreboard. Rotton bad weekend for Syracuse. They face Toronto on Wednesday.

    Box score from TheAHL.com.

  • Elitserien Game Night: 3-2-13
    10 weeks 6 days ago

    Elitserien (Sweden)
    Brynas 1 @ AIK 0

    Johan Harju, Brynas, 0-0-0, +1, 2 SOG, 0 PIM
    Season totals: 53 GP, 17-9-26, -7, 16 PIM

    In what has been a rare occurrence in recent weeks, Brynas, which received a perfect showing from former Lightning netminder Johan Holmqvist, won its second-consecutive game, outlasting AIK in a defensive struggle. Johan Harju managed a secondary assist on the game's lone goal, a power play tally by Ryan Gunderson just past the midpoint of the third period. Brynas (17-19-6-12, 75 PTS) finishes its regular season Tuesday with a home match against Linkopings (26-19-4-5, 91 PTS).
