Blackhawks 3 – Ducks 0

It didn’t take the rookie goaltender Corey Crawford long to get the hang of holdin it down in the NHL. In his first start he got his first win and his first shutout. Crawford stopped all 19 shots he faced and he played like a seasoned vet leading the Blackhawks to a 3-0 shutout over the Ducks.

Both of these teams came into this game playing great hockey and both were on win streaks but of course, something had to give. Dustin Byfuglien and Cam Barker each had power play goals and assists for the Blackhawks.

Capitals 3 – Sabres 1

The Eastern conference playoff hunt is starting to get interesting. It’s definitely a helluva a lot more interesting for Alex Ovechkin, especially when he is scoring like he has been the past 6 games.

Ovey had 2 goals to power the Caps past the Sabres in a 3-1 win. The Sabres and the Caps are moving in different directions yet both of them are still in the playoff hunt right now. The Caps move into 10th place with the win while the Sabres are sitting in the 9th seed. The last few weeks of the season are going to be interesting.

Sharks 3 – Senators 2

Patrick Marleau must have taken offense to the fact that his name was swirling around in all sorts of trade rumors last month before the deadline. He seemed like he must have had something to prove because he came out in this one and shot the lights out for the Sharks. Marleau scored 2 goals, including the game winner in OT to give the Sharks a 3-2 win over the Sens last night.

The Sharks are on point right now, they have now won 7 straight.
