Ben's shut out streak comes to an end in Boston. Late in the 3rd, Boston winning 4-0. Ben took a shot near the collarbone (according to the Edmonton radio guys) in the 3rd. He stayed in the game, but then Edmonton quickly gave up 2 goals. Hope Scrivens is okay.

Riley Nash pots his 7th of the season to tie things up for Carolina against Winnipeg in the 3rd period.

Ben saves 35 in oilers 2-1 win at MSG.

Sounds like whatever "stinger" Ben got on Saturday wasn't serious.

I was catching up on my podcasts and listening to NPR's "Only a Game" (2/1 episode) and Ben got a mention for his 59 save game. He definitely has gotten more than his 15 minutes of fame from that game.

Impressive reporting. In this article about Scrivens' success at MSG, I was thinking they wouldn't know about the Red Hot Hockey series, and his shaky start in the first one... Sure enough:

Scrivens went 0-1-1 in two games for Cornell against Boston University at MSG; he established a then-career high with 36 saves in a 6-3 loss in 2007 and secured a 3-3 tie in 2009 though the Big Red were outshot 35-17.

I can't post the quote from my phone, but the first paragraph leaves logic behind.

Or did I have too much coffee this morning?

"Canadiens winger Max Pacioretty became the first player in NHL history to miss two penalty shots in one game. While I can't find the specific record, I'm pretty confident in adding that he's the first player in NHL history to miss two penalty shots in one game while scoring three goals."

I noticed this tidbit at the bottom of a pretty great CHN article:

The penalty shot goal by Adam Chapie at 24 seconds of this video was Lowell's first penalty shot goal since the 1996-97 season.

I laugh at that pitiful drought.

You may have had too much coffee, but it is certainly the case that A < B + A --> B.

I saw that on some show on ESPN and laughed and thought.. "Gee, sounds like something a Cornell hockey player would do". .

The first part, yes.  The second not so much.

And he was interviewed on the NHL Network post-game.
