SAN JOSE–On the NHL Podcast today the Vancouver Canucks ended an amazing streak by the Montreal Canadiens defeating them 5-1 the Habs streak was stopped at nine. Was the Habs feeling the pressure and pressing? Or were the Canucks just out for blood and wanted to stop the Canadiens at every turn.

The Washington Capitals Alexander Ovechkin is close to setting the all time goal scoring record for an NHL Russian player. Ovechkin currently has 480 career goals and Sergei Federov is leading by three with 483 all time goals.  Also the Nashville Predators get set with their key players James Neal, Craig Smith, Flip Forsberg, and Roman Josi as the Preds face the Sharks at SAP Center in San Jose on Wednesday night.

The LA Kings are swinging the sticks and finding the back of the nets as they have now won six straight games. That win streak is a testimony which holds true after a rather weak start. The Kings are getting great offensive help from Jeff Carter, Tyler Toffoli, and goaltender Jonathan Quick.
