The long awaited return of Sidney Crosby came today, and with it a 2 goal shutout of the Tampa Bay Lightning.
But don’t think this was an easy game for Crosby and the Penguins. It took til the 17th minute of the third period before a puck finally reached the back of the net, a Maxim Talbot goal that was setup by none other than Crosby himself.
“It’s good to get it over with and get that feel and get that timing back, but it’s still not there,” Crosby said. “I had some great chances that I would have loved to put in. It didn’t happen. Sometimes that’s the way it goes. I’m a little rusty.”

Evgeni Malkin also scored, putting the puck in an empty net to ensure victory, and a shutout for goalie Marc-Andre Fleury

When the Dallas Stars traded for Brad Richards on the day of the trade deadline, they knew they were getting a top playmaker and setup guy. They never expected however the impact he would have on the team in his first outing as a Star.
Richards led the Stars to a decisive 7-4 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks, setting up 5 of the 7 goals.
The team seems very happy with Richards;
“We brought in an elite player and he is going to make us better around him,” said Modano, who had a goal and an assist. “I think talent and skill guys never have a hard time adjusting and coming in and fitting in on a team. If anything, they raise their level and everybody raises theirs right with them. Those type of players are few and far between that can make an impact like that.”

The Stars next play the Nashville Predators on March 1 at the American Airlines Center.
