Game Notes

Jeff Carter enters tonight’s game one goal shy of the 10-goal plateau. His next goal would mark the 19th season he’s reached double digit goals, a feat that only 25 players in NHL history have accomplished. Only Alex Ovechkin (20) has more 10-goal seasons among active players.

Sidney Crosby (582) enters tonight’s game one goal shy of tying Wayne Gretzky (583) for the seventh-most goals with a single franchise in NHL history.

Evgeni Malkin enters tonight’s game one goal shy of hitting the 20-goal plateau. It would mark the 15th time in his career that Malkin has scored 20 or more goals in a season, and he’s looking to become just the 31st player in NHL history, and fourth active player, with 15 20-goal seasons.

  1. You know what? Fuck the Wings for 2008 still. Let’s win tonight and kick them out of the playoffs. Sid plz get a few points

  2. We need Sid to get a few points but they still lose to maximize draft stock. Jackin’ for Macklin baby

  3. LGP.

    Mods…. fix up the forum please. November schedule on side bar… i’d also like to change my flair. Is that available? I don’t think Dumo is the #1 star on this team that he used to be.

  4. Islanders gonna lose again and Flyers will legitimately lose the next 5 in a row. Really a shame this organization and majority of players gave up after the Flames game. .500 since Canucks would have us with a good chance to make it
