After losing five of their first six games this season the Ducks went on the road for a four-game trip and came away unbeaten to even their record at 5-5. “It was pretty doom and gloom when we left our building after a decent homestand,” Ducks head coach Randy Carlyle said. “We just felt that we had to regroup, do our things that we do best, stay with the gameplan and things would turn around.”
10/23 -Buffalo Sabres at Minnesota Wild Preview -Two of the remaining four unbeaten teams in the NHL this season meet on Thursday night in Minnesota as the Wild host the Buffalo Sabres.

The Stars defeated the Rangers 2-1 on Monday as Mike Modano scored the game winner. “It was a lucky bounce,” said Modano, “Those don’t get old.

10/21 - Anaheim Ducks at Toronto Maple Leafs Preview - The Anaheim Ducks began the season as Stanley Cup contenders but have not looked the part through six games this season.

Phoenix was beaten 4-1 on Wednesday at Chicago. “We played too easy of a game,” head coach Wayne Gretzky said. “After a period and a half, we started to cheat a little bit. If you cheat, you’re going to get beat at this level.” Friday’s game will be the first real test of the season for the young Coyotes.
10/15 - Buffalo Sabres at New York Rangers Pick and Preview - The New York Rangers will try and make some history on Wednesday night as they host the Buffalo Sabres. The Rangers go for their sixth straight win to start the season and if they get it they would break the record of the 1983-84 team that started 5-0. “To start the season 5-0, we didn’t expect that,” said goaltender Henrik Lundqvist. “But on the trip (to Europe) we knew we had a really good group here, and that we understand what we need to do out there on the ice. And all four lines are playing the same way, with the same commitment, which is very important.”
