Aren't the Kings smart enough NOT to get into a shootout with Dallas? Oh well. It looks like Chicago is clicking on all cylinders with 5 goals in the first. So maybe Hitchcocks great start will grind to a halt.

It's now 5-4 Chicago just underway in the 3rd... Columbus mounting quite the comeback.

Other notables: NYR getting lit up 8-2 with 13 left; STL beating Nashville 2-0 early in the 2nd; Pittsburgh down 5-2 to Montreal early in the 3rd; Buffalo down 3-1 to Ottawa and NYI all over Atlanta 5-0 with 8 and change to go.

Yeah Toronto needs to save some goals for their next game, no mercy rule in hockey. Atlanta is not having a good week, not sorry we contributed to it though.
