Backstrom on faceoffs? Boy, he sucks. 4 FW, 10 FL, 29%. Worse than vs Flyers (38%)

Steckel is a monster: 13 FW, 5 FL, 72%.

Backstrom and Evason need to double their work on faceoffs, the sooner the better. It's all about hard work, Backie!

Hockey Night's 3 Stars from CBC | Hockey News

CBCSports.ca senior reporter Tim Wharnsby names Alex Ovechkin, Ilya Bryzgalov and Steven Stamkos as his top performers in the NHL from Thursday night.

FIRST STAR: Alex Ovechkin, Washington

The Great Eight collected two more goals in the Capitals 4-3 victory against Atlanta. He already has 13 goals in 12 games to lead the league and is on pace for an 88-goal season, a total that would surpass the career-high 65 goals he scored in 2007-08.
