• Andrew Ladd (LW - Blackhawks) 2G 1A 3Pts

Stars make more moves:

• The Dallas Stars made more moves today to try and fix their woes.  Stars co-GMs Brett Hull and Les Jackson signed former Minnesota Wild forward Mark Parrish to a 1-year deal worth $500k (NHL) or $100k (AHL).  Parrish, who was bought out by the Wild could bring a scoring touch to a Stars team that has been struggling to find it’s identity.

Senators & Coyotes swap minor leaguers

• The Ottawa Senators traded prospect Alexander Nikulin to the Phoenix Coyotes for defenseman Drew Fata on Monday.  Nikulin, 23, told the Senators last week that he would return to his native Russia if a deal wasn’t completed.  The 6-1, 203-pound center was a fourth-round pick - 122nd overall - by the Senators in the 2004 draft. Nikulin recorded two goals in five games with Binghamton of the American Hockey League this season. In 2007-08, Nikulin had 14 goals and 36 assists in 71 games with Binghamton.

oh, they’re hurt:

• Owen Nolan (Wild): Placed on IR with a lower body injury
• Marian Gaborik (Wild): Still not ready to return.
• Jere Lehtinen (Stars): Questionable for Nov 7 Vs Anaheim
• Sergei Zubov (Stars): IR, expected return Nov 7 Vs Anaheim

He shoots… the scores:

• Buffalo Sabres 2 - 0 New Jersey Devils
• New York Islanders 4 - 3 Columbus Blue Jackets (Overtime)
• Chicago Blackhawks 6 - 2 Colorado Avalanche
