More Huberdeau after Flames 5-1 loss to Hawks: "Obviously, it's unacceptable. At home. We need these points right now. The way we came out. The way we played. Too many odd-man rushes. They had so many chances. I feel bad for Marky. He's been playing lately and we're not playing good in front of him."
Don’t read this. The Blues were shut out by Arizona 5-0 on Thursday. The Coyotes are No. 29 in the NHL standings. The Blues have lost three straight games, including one to No. 31 Chicago. They have given up five goals in each of their three straight losses. Robert Thomas left the game with an injury and the Blues had no update afterward. I warned you not to read this.
Did the Calgary Flames underestimate the 'Hawks tonight? Jonathan Huberdeau says: "It sure looks like it...We know it's not the best team in the league. They're at the bottom of the standings and we can't disrespect them. That's a lesson. They came in and they played well."
Ducks win, 5-3, over Avalanche to finish 3-2-1 on road trip. Could have been 4-2-0 had they held on in Pittsburgh to start the trip. Progress. Vatrano (3), Henrique, McTavish score and Gibson, who had 40 saves, was unreal late in protecting lead.
Troy Terry has drawn 25 penalties while taking only eight minors. Ducks only have one power play so far tonight but they've long needed someone that could get them whistles and power plays.
