Devan Dubnyk Helps Push Oilers Past Slumping Avalanche
Tuesday, 31 January 2012 23:14 | Written by The Associated Press |
Dubnyk made 31 saves and the Oilers beat the Colorado Avalanche 3-2 on Tuesday night, giving Edmonton two wins in three straight games with Dubnyk in goal. Taylor Hall, Jordan Eberle and Eric Belanger scored for the Oilers, who had lost eight of nine before going 2-0-1 in their last three. Dubnyk, the backup to Nikolai Khabibulin for the bulk of the season, has made 118 saves during his three-game run. "It's been nice to get the opportunity to keep going and roll with it," Dubnyk said. "I have felt good throughout the year but there were some small things that I needed to work on to get to this point. I certainly can't take it for granted. I have to keep my nose down and realize what is allowing me to do this (and) keep doing it."

Niklas Backstrom Stops 24 Shots in Chippy Minnesota Win Over Avalanche
Tuesday, 24 January 2012 22:14 | Written by The Associated Press |
That's hardly a surprise, since Pepsi Center traditionally has been sort of a home away from home for Minnesota. Carson McMillan broke a tie midway through the third period after stealing the puck at center ice, helping the Wild break out of their road funk with a 3-2 victory over the Colorado Avalanche on Tuesday night. Justin Falk scored his first NHL goal, and Dany Heatley added another for the Wild, who halted an 11-game winless streak away from home. Despite being starved for a road win, goaltender Niklas Backstrom insisted his team wasn't paying much attention to the dubious streak. That, Backstrom said, is a recipe for disaster.
Lars Eller's 4 Goals Help Canadiens Rebound from Dreadful Road Trip
Wednesday, 04 January 2012 23:57 | Written by The Associated Press |
Eller entered this season with only nine goals in 84 career NHL games, so netting four and adding an assist in the Montreal Canadiens' 7-3 victory over the Winnipeg Jets on Wednesday night was something to be savored. "You never know when you're going to go out there again, so you better make it last," Eller said. Eller's outburst helped the Canadiens shake off the effects of a poor road trip. He scored his fourth goal of the game on a penalty shot 11 minutes into the third, spinning around to beat Chris Mason for his third tally of the period.
