Late Game Heroics

In a very exciting night across the NHL, a couple of games were decided on late 3rd period goals. A few went my way, a few did not. Here are the results.

The Islanders stormed MSG and came away with a 2-1 win. So much for my 4-1 Rangers prediction.

Atlanta rallied late to tie the game at 3-3 late into the 3rd period but a goal by the Panthers' Michael Frolik with 1:21 remaining sealed the deal for the Panthers. I walk away knowing I picked the correct score at least, just in the wrong direction.

An impressive performance by Ottawa and Mr. Elliott to shutout the red-hot Sabres. Once again...oops.

Finally, the Ducks handled the Canucks in Vancouver and came away with a 3-2 win.

Wins on the night include the Devils pulling it out against the Canadiens 2-1.

Chicago shutout the baby Blues 3-0, not far off from my prediction.

The Coyotes opened up a can against Toronto 6-3.

Carolina was impressive at home by putting up a 5-spot, and winning 5-3.

Four wins coupled with four losses leaves me with a .500 night. Added to the season record I sit at 19-16 with 2 bulls-eyes*. Tonight's predictions are on the way.

* A Bulls-Eye is predicting the exact score and result for a game.
