Lightning. It was all scoreless until very late in the 2nd period when Drury scored his 16th goal. The Lightning were very aggresive and delivered 15 hits. Alexander Semin scored late in the 3rd to wrap it up for a 2-0 win for the Sabres and it was Miller time as he recorded his 2nd shutout.

Rangers. Buffalo had an amazing 21-3 shot advantage after one period and a two goal lead.

Alexi Zhitnik has a three point night and his first number one star of the game this season.

Predators. Predator's goalie C.Mason was impressive with 36 saves and bordering on brilliant with 11 of 12 on the GR.

But then in the shootout Mason's brick wall fell down as he gave up 3 goals in the shootout as the Sabres nabbed the win.
