Corey Perry Can't Be Stopped
I want to give Corey Perry all the credit in the world for this gorgeous goal-of-the-year candidate, a deking, falling, sliding shot from his knees.

Bruins goalie Tuukka Rask gave up the game-ending shootout goal to Derek Roy for a 3-2 loss, and he was fuming. Of course, Rask tried to break his stick, because that's what one does when they're angry about a loss. "Tried" is the keyword here....
Clarke MacArthur Goes Between His Legs For A Beautiful Assist
The Ottawa winger threaded his own needle—and a pair of Wild players—to set up Kyle Turris's shorthanded goal. Though Minnesota won, and MacArthur didn't get onto the scoresheet beyond this assist, it was pretty enough to get him named the game's second star....
