I risultati del 3 marzo

di Cristian

Dopo la sosta olimpica riprende la marcia degli Hurricanes che spinti da Eric Staal ed Erik Cole hanno vita facile contro i Panthers.
I Sabres con la convincente vittoria ai danni dei Maple Leafs festeggiano il ritiro della maglia numero 16 di Pat LaFontaine ed il ritorno sul ghiaccio del loro miglior giocatore: Daniel Briere subito a segno dopo essersi ristabilito dall’infortunio all’anca. Tie Domi, uno dei simboli della franchigia torontina, raggiunge le 1000 partite in NHL.
Dei Canucks con la difesa ampiamente rimaneggiata causa gli infortuni “olimpici” capitati a Sami Salo e Matthias Ohlund (anche Ed Jovanovski è ancora out), faticano più del previsto contro i Blackhawks che si fanno rimontare tre gol di vantaggio e vengono castigati agli shoot-out.
Importanti vittorie in chiave play-off per gli Oilers e per i Mighty Ducks.
