2mins Player of the day:
- Tobias Stephan (G - Stars) earns our player of the day for his win over the Minnesota Wild. Stephan played in only his 2nd ever NHL game. His last game, almost a year ago was on the road in Chicago, a game where he played solid but lost the game in overtime. A year is a long time to wait to prove you can play at this level, but Stephan did that today.
Stars of the day:
- Teemu Selanne (Ducks), got his game on with a hat trick against the Detroit Red Wings
- Tobias Stephan (Stars) made his NHL debut for 2008 with a 4-2 win over the Wild
- Ryan Getzlaf (Ducks) had 5 assists in the Ducks win over the Red Wings
- Matt Stajan (Maple Leafs) scored 2 goals in the Leafs shootout win over the Devils
- Pavel Datsyuk (Red Wings) scored a pair against the Ducks
…and there were none:
- Going into todays game the Wild had no suffered a regulation loss this season, the only team remaining to do so. Tobias Stephan and the Stars put and end to that with a solid 4-2 win over the travelling team.
Demoted:
- Jordan Staal has been demoted to the third line during Wednesday’s Penguins practice.
Trade Deadline moved:
- The NHL has announced that the Trade Deadline will be moved back to March 4. The change has been approved by both the NHL and the NHLPA.
oh, they’re hurt:
- Sergei Zubov (Stars) should be back in the Stars lineup this Saturday.
- Randy Jones (Flyers) could resume skating in 2 weeks and should be back on the team before Christmas.
- Jere Lehtinen (Stars) is rumored to begin skating again soon.
- Tim Connolly (Sabres) is unlikely to play this weekend with a back injury.
- Pascal Leclaire (Blue Jackets) is looking at a second opinion after his MRI revealed just a sprained ankle.
- Bryan McCabe (Panthers) began skating on his own Monday.
- Rick DiPietro (Islanders) will not be on the upcoming road trip.
He shoots… the scores:
- Toronto Maple Leafs 6 - 5 New Jersey Devils (shootout)
- Dallas Stars 4 - 2 Minnesota Wild
- Anaheim Ducks 5 - 4 Detroit Red Wings (overtime)

Top News:
- Wild reportedly shopping RW Gaborik
Arguably the greatest player in franchise history, Marian Gaborik appears to be on his way to becoming a former member of the Minnesota Wild.
Gaborik, who can become an unrestricted free agent following the 2008-09 season, was offered by the Wild to an unnamed team in a trade proposal last weekend, according to a report by the Minneapolis Star Tribune on Tuesday.
The report stated its source, an NHL team executive, told Minnesota he was not interested in acquiring Gaborik, the lone remaining original member of the Wild.
It is believed Minnesota general manager Doug Risebrough has had discussions with the Montreal Canadiens and Los Angeles Kings regarding Gaborik, the Star Tribune reported. The right wing has turned down a number of contract extension offers, and Risebrough and agent Ron Salcer both told the Star Tribune the sides have not spoken in two weeks.
Drafted third overall in 2000, Gaborik has recorded 207 goals and 415 points - both franchise highs - in 487 career games with the Wild. This season, the 26-year-old Slovakian notched one tally in two contests before missing the team’s last two games with a “lower body” injury.
A two-time All-Star, Gaborik has reached the 30-goal mark five times during his seven seasons in the NHL, netting a career-high 42 in 2007-08. He also represented his country at the 2006 Winter Olympics.
Injury Updates:
- Red Wings D Lilja undergoes appendectomy
Red Wings defenceman Andreas Lilja has undergone an appendectomy. The team says Lilja could return to the lineup as soon as Friday following Tuesday’s surgery at the Detroit Medical Center. The team also says forward Darren Helm has been assigned to the American Hockey League’s Grand Rapids Griffins. Helm was called up to Detroit on Thursday and appeared in two games. Helm was Detroit’s fifth-round selection in the 2005 draft.
- Blue Jackets activate centre Malhotra and place winger Modin on IR
The Columbus Blue Jackets activated centre Manny Malhotra off injured reserve Tuesday. He has been nursing a lower-body injury that has kept him out of the lineup through the club’s first five games. The Blue Jackets also placed left-winger Fredrik Modin on injured reserve with a hip injury. Modin, who has three assists in five games, is expected to miss at least three games.
- Ducks C Getzlaf out of lineup
The Anaheim Ducks are without one of their top players for Tuesday’s game against the Toronto Maple Leafs as center Ryan Getzlaf was scratched due to an issue with his teeth.
Signings & Acquisitions:
- Blues claim LW Koci on waivers from Lightning
The St. Louis Blues on Tuesday claimed left wing David Koci on waivers from the Tampa Bay Lightning. Koci, 27, played in one game with Tampa Bay this season, posting four penalty minutes. The 6-6, 238-pounder has skated in 28 career NHL contests, recording 160 penalty minutes. The Czech Republic native originally was taken by Pittsburgh in the fifth round of the 2000 draft.
- Rangers place LW Rissmiller on waivers
Patrick Rissmiller’s days with the New York Rangers could be coming to an end. According to a report by New York Newsday on Tuesday night, the Rangers placed the left wing on waivers.
- Ducks place D Klee on waivers
The Anaheim Ducks on Tuesday placed defenseman Ken Klee on waivers. Teams have until 9 a.m. Pacific Time on Wednesday to claim the 37-year-old Klee, who could be assigned to Iowa of the American Hockey League should there be no takers.
