The Washington Capitals showed off a balanced attack for the third night in a row to keep the young team within the upper half of the league standings.

Some of the key contributors tonight were:

Kyle Turris: The 23 year old looks to be thriving on the top line in Washington. Poised to have a breakout season, Turris scored two goals tonight giving the young man 3 goals in his first two games.

Pavel Datsyuk: The Russian superstar showed why he is amongst the best players in the league tonight with a goal and an assist.

Jakob Silfverberg: Last years MVP of the Swedish elite league and SEL champion earned himself a top six role in Washington after dominating the AHL and working hard at training camp. He scored his first career NHL goal tonight while trying to prove to his coaching staff that they made the right decision in giving him the opportunity.

Ryan Ellis: Although Ellis is currently playing limited minutes in Washington, his name showed up once again on the scoreboard thanks to a nice looking takeaway and assist on the teams first goal of the night. The offensively gifted defenseman now has two points in two games to start the season.

Jordin Tootoo & Marcus Foligno: The two big wingers have been great examples of solid bottom six contributors. Both Foligno and Tootoo dropped the gloves in tonights game proving that players can be key contributors without scoring goals. Although the Capitals have likely the youngest roster in the NHL, they are still trying to prove they can physically compete with the older and more experienced teams.

Brunners gets his first goal, still lookin sharp, Marleau still on pace for 96 goals this year, Price on the board with a W, Havlat didn't get injured crawling over the bench (knock on wood).

All in all, a decent day for the Lightning

With three of the leagues top ten teams, plus the Devils to content with in my division, it is going to have to be a high contribution distribution style that the Rangers employ, and tonight that message got through to the players.

With 44 points coming from 8 of ten players on the ice I couldn't be happier, most importantly Joe THornton's mentoring of TJ Galiardi is paying dividends, as the two real life team mates rack up more than ten points each on the night, playing on different lines no less!

It is gonna take more than this to come out on top in the division currently led by league leading Boston Bruins, but I like our first quartet of game nights, and I like the tough to play against look of my team.

Flames expect Cervenka, Hudler back Saturday

The Calgary Flames said Roman Cervenka and Jiri Hudler should be available for Saturday's home game against the Edmonton Oilers. Neither forward played in either of the team's two games so far this season and won't play Wednesday night at the Vancouver Canucks.

Cervenka returned Tuesday from Phoenix, where he was seen by a specialist at the Mayo Clinic. He's been sidelined with a blood clot in his leg. He's been on anticoagulant drugs, and the team wanted to make sure he could be taken off the blood-thinners before returning to play. The Flames said he has been cleared to practice Thursday and will be eligible to play Saturday.

Hudler is expected to return to Calgary late Tuesday following the death of his father in the Czech Republic last week. The Flames, who signed him to a four-year contract this summer, said he will be added to the active roster Wednesday but will not make the trip to Vancouver for the game against the Canucks. He also will be eligible to play Saturday.
