Game Results

Friday night's highlights:

• Helenius finally breaks personal losing streak
• First Star Fadden nets 5 points; On his way to a 648 point season?
• Game delayed due to teddy bears

Andreas Holmqvist was scoreless in Frolunda's 2-1 win over MODO.

After a mild post-Karjala scoring drought, Johan Harju appears to be back into the groove. Today he scored both of Lulea's goals in a 2-2 tie with Mora. Harju leaps into a tied for 3rd in the Elitserien in goals with 12 on the season along with, among others, former NHLers Jan Hrdina and Tommi Kallio.

Note: If any of our Russian readers have the box scores from yesterday's Omsk and Spartak matches, let me know.

Alexei Glukhov had 1 goal, 1 assist, and 2 penalty minutes as Cherepovets outlasted Ufa 6-5 on penalty shots. Through 32 games, Glukhov has 4 goals, 12 assists, 16 points, and 64 penalty minutes with an even rating this season.

Dimitri Kazionov had 1 assist and 2 penalty minutes as Kazan defeated Khimik 3-1. Through 32 games the elder Kazionov has 5 goals, 6 assists, 11 points, and 32 penalty minutes with a -4 rating. Vasily Koshechkin served as Robert Esche's backup in the match.

Anton But had 2 goals and 1 assist as St. Petersburg trounced Nizhnekamsk 4-1. Through 32 games, But has 7 goals, 8 assists, 15 points, and 26 penalty minutes with a +6 rating.

Considering they only had one good period, getting a point is probably the best the Ads could expect.

Norfolk is two points out of the final playoff spot in the division with Binghamton holding 2 games in hand, so tomorrow night's game against the Senators has some obvious importance. Rumors last week placed a possible Karri Ramo return for the game tomorrow night, but seeing as Karl Goehring dressed as the backup tonight that remains to be seen.
