#5 The Buffalo Sabres edged the St Louis Blues Thursday night 4-3 in overtime. Tied 3-3 in the overtime stanza the Sabres Rasmus Dahlin scored at 1:33 on a power play goal to lift Buffalo to victory.

#5 When the San Jose Sharks lost their last game in Washington 3-1 after having a 1-0 lead until the third period when the Capitals scored three times for their ninth loss in the row it was the goal of the Sharks to try and win at home against the visiting Vancouver Canucks. Who would have thought the Sharks would think they were in the movie “The Mighty Ducks” as Sharks goaltender Kaapo Kahkonen saw a barrage of Canucks goals six goals in all before MacKenzie Blackwood relieved him in net and gave up four goals himself. The Sharks have now lost ten straight games.
