The almost full compliment of the Anaheim Duck's roster returned to action last night, much to the dismay of the Dallas Stars. Ducks goaltender Jean Sebastien Giguere returned from a groin injury that kept him out of the lineup for the last 11 games and made 30 saves to help lift his club to a 4-1 victory over the Dallas Stars. Defencemen Chris Pronger and Francois Beauchemin also returned to the lineup after missing a month of action. Forward Andy McDonald scored two goals on the night, and of course Teemu Selanne added a goal as well.

Ducks defenceman Scott Niedermayer sat out his first game of the season with a fractured foot.

Quick Shave:
I just wanted open by paying my respects to the great Gump Worsley who passed away this week. The Hall of Famer helped the Montreal Canadians raise the Stanley Cup four times. Best wishes to his entire family.

Stache pointed out a great highlight yesterday for me, and man was he right no. Sidney Crosby scored an amazing backhand goal in the 7-2 Pittsburgh Penguins drubbing of the Phoenix Coyotes on Saturday night. Stache also pointed out that the Coyotes seem to be the team in which players score ridiculous highlight reel goals. Remember Ovechkins behind the back over the shoulder goal from last season? To check out the goal click here. Thanks Stache! It's funny how Roberto Luongo's only desire was to play for a team that would provide him some more protection. I think Luongo is facing just as many shots with Canucks as he was when he was playing for the Florida Panthers. Last night, fortunately for the Vancouver Canucks, Luongo made 39 saves to lift his club to a 3-1 win over the San Jose Sharks. Jose Theodore actually had a decent night in net for the Colorado Avalanche, making 38 saves on the night. Unfortunately his teammates didn't. The Avalanche only put 12 shots of which the Detroit Red Wings Dominik Hasek saved all but one. The Wings went on to defeat the Avs 3-1. 12 shots? Come on guys! The Philadelphia Flyers defeated the Atlanta Thrashers 2-1 last night on a pair of goals by Jeff Carter. Flyers keeper Antero Nittymaki made 37 saves on the night. Flyers GM Paul Holgrem is expected to meet with Peter Forsberg today and discussing his future with the club. Wheter he will be traded at the February 26th deadline will most likely be determined in the meeting today.

Game of the Night:
Ottawa at Montreal 7:30 PM

All Canadian goodness! You really can't get better than this! One of two games on the card for the evening, the other being my blueshirts throwing down with the Boston Bruins. Enjoy the games!

Your friend on ice,
