Dwayne Roloson made a staggering 58 saves and the New York Islanders dropped the Toronto Maple Leafs 4-3 in overtime.
Roloson was sensational as the Maple Leafs through everything at him but the kitchen sink. The 40-year-old netminder is now 7-2-5 with a 2.86 GAA and a .916 save percentage. He is currently the Islanders number one netminder, ahead of Martin Biron and will give Rick DiPietro a run for his money, if DiPietro is ever healthy enough to return this season.
It appears likely that Marian Hossa will make his debut on Wednesday night against San Jose following off-season shoulder surgery.
"I think all systems are go," said coach Joel Quenneville. "(Hossa) hasn't played in a long time and hopefully he can just help us. We felt there was an upgrade in our practices when he joined us. He can make plays. We like the way he competes and ... on both sides of the puck he does a lot of good things." The Hawks are already a talented group, but adding Hossa to their forward ranks will make them even better. They will get a strong test on Wednesday against the Western Conference leading Sharks. We will keep you posted, but get ready to activate Hossa.
Corey Perry continued his impressive point streak on Monday night versus the Flames.
He earned an assist on the team's opening goal from Bobby Ryan, which tied the game at 1-1 at the time, en route to a 3-2 shootout win. Perry's 15th helper of the year extended his current scoring streak to 15 games. He has 28 points in 22 contests in 2009-10 and should be active in all fantasy formats.
Jean-Sebastien Giguere captured his first win of the season on Monday night against Calgary.
Giguere made 41 saves through regulation and overtime before stopping all three shootout attempts to record a 3-2 victory. He owns a 1-3-2 record this campaign with a .905 save percentage and a 3.13 GAA. The 'W' was also his first since March 24th of last season, so it had definitely been a long time coming. If he can string together some more victories he could challenge Jonas Hiller for starts in the Anaheim net.
Vesa Toskala actually pulled himself in Toronto's 4-3 overtime loss Monday night.
Leafs Coach Ron Wilson said after the game Toskala tweaked his groin following New York's second goal. We'll have more on his status as it becomes available.
Miikka Kiprusoff made 29 saves in Calgary's 3-2 shootout loss to Anaheim Monday.
Kiprusoff saw a flurry of shots in the second period, 15 to be exact. The Flames number one goalie was only beaten once in the shootut, a wrister by Teemu Selanne. The Flames fall to 13-6-3 on the season.
J.S. Giguere faced 43 shots in the Ducks 3-2 shootout win over Calgary Monday night.
Giguere turned aside 41 shots before the shootout and was able to stop all three of Calgary's shooters in the most exciting play in hockey. The Ducks were able to hold the Flames off the score sheet on the power play four times.
