NHL Game Recap for Tuesday, December 18

Details of last night's eleven games are at NHL.com.

The games where the underdog beat the better playing team - that no one would have guessed, were:

* Bottom ranked LA beat number one Winnipeg, 4 - 1
* Bottom ranked Florida Panthers beat Buffalo 5 - 2 (BIG SURPRISE here)
* NY Rangers over the Ducks 3 - 1
* Dallas shut out Calgary 2 - 0
* Struggling St. Louis beat Edmonton, IN Edmonton, 4 - 1

Other games:

* TBay beat Vancouver 5 - 2 (no surprise here)

* The Islanders beat the Coyotes 3 - 1; this game being a good watch. AZ played tough, but couldn't keep pace.

* The Sharks shut out the Wild, 4 - 0. Sharks goalie, the incredible Martin Jones, refused to allow the puck from crossing the crease.

* Philly beat Detroit 3 - 2, another good game.

* Toronto beat NJ 7 - 2, not unexpected but a higher score than I would have predicted.

* Chicago beat Nashville 2 - 1.

Only two games tonight:

Penguins play at Washington and Montreal plays in Colorado.

Happy Hockey!
