Jets surge late, win crucial game against Caps
After 40-some minutes of hockey, I was feeling like I had seen this Washington Capitals/Winnipeg Jets game before. This game appeared to be headed in the same direction as so many as of late this year – lackluster offense from the Jets, with Ondrej Pavelec’s goaltending keeping the game close before an inevitable loss. When the Capitals scored two quick goals, it seemed...

Fantasy Hockey ONE (2/8)
Tuesday Night did not feature a whole lot of scoring as goaltending seemed to rule the roost. It is kind of ironic that one of the best saves came in a game that was one of the highest scoring. Sometimes that is just how it happens but give Roberto Luongo credit. He got a win last night against Pekka Rinne who had lost just three times in his last 24 contests. Luongo was...
