It brought Eric Staals younger brother Marc, a Rangers defenseman, onto his team for the first time in their lives, but it split up identical twins Henrik and Daniel Sedin of the Vancouver Canucks for the first time, too. Alex Ovechkin had his own stick-throwing ceremony in the third period when he tossed his in the path of Team Lidstroms Matt Duchene as the Colorado forward raced in on a breakaway. That move drew the only penalty of the game - the first All-Star penalty shot - given to Duchene against New York Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist, who made the stop. Ovechkin also scored a goal. Staals top choice of Ward looked more genius than sentimental early on when the players in white jumped out to a 4-0 lead, with Ward standing tall behind them. Team Staal scored all its goals on the first nine shots against Fleury, while Ward was perfect on the first four he faced. We started to think, Gee, I hope it wont continue, Lidstrom said. Once we got the first one, we started playing better, too. It wasnt the start we wanted, but it was the end we wanted. The tide turned when Lidstroms team connected for four goals on its final 10 shots of the first. Fleury went 5 for 5 to close out the period.

The Caps set a franchise record with their 11th win in a row with a 4-1 victory at Boston on Tuesday night. Washington has outscored its opponents by a margin of 23-5 in the third period during this remarkable stretch. Will the Rangers be the Caps next victim? Well find out when the puck drops at 7 p. Justin Tuck Jersey. Not a manly enough injury, apparently. And, yeah, it would probably sound cooler if he had a broken thumb or a broken index finger. But a broken bone in your hand is a broken bone in your hand. Tweet Brendan Shanahan wants the all-stars to feel as though theyre back in their old neighborhoods when they get to Raleigh, N.C., on Jan. 28. He wants them to remember what it was like getting ready for a road hockey game with the kids from the block, what it felt like when captains were chosen and had the responsibility of picking sides for the game. There were nerves as they stood in the cold and waited to have one of the two captains point in their direction, to say, "You, youre on my team." There was excitement when they got chosen. There were debates as to who should go ahead of who and why. There was the fear of being the last man standing. There was strategy among the dueling captains.
