On the NHL Podcast with Joe Lami:

1 Chicago Blackhawks defenseman Jan Rutta signed a one-year extension through 2018-19. How important is Rutta considering some of the tough loses the Blackhawks have gone through?

2 The Tampa Bay Lighting’s Anthony Cirelli had a great offensive night against the New York Rangers in a 5-3 win. Cirelli scored and had two assists as the Bolts win their eighth in nine games.

3 Florida Panthers goalie Roberto Luongo still has it. He stood on his head against the Montreal Canadiens on Thursday night for a 5-0 shutout. Luongo stopped a personal best 40 shots.

4 Los Angeles Kings’ Trevor Lewis who missed 12 games before Thursday night’s game with an upper body injury. Lewis scored his own rebound that gave the Kings the lead over the Capitals 3-1.

5 The San Jose Sharks got a 2-0 shutout and snapped a power play drought when Mikkel Boedker scored on a power play goal. It took 30 tries to make it happen.
