Boston's Zdeno Chara captured his third straight title for the hardest hit shot at the NHL SuperSkills competition in Montreal. The Bruins' captain recorded a blast of 105.4 mph when the event kicked off all-star weekend Saturday night at Montreal's Bell Centre. The shot eclipsed the previous high of 105.2 mph set in 1993 by Al Lafrate. I knew I would have to put a really hard shot, Chara said.
Andrew Cogliano had the game-winning goal and the Edmonton Oilers erased a 2-0 lead with three unanswered goals Monday night to beat the New York Islanders 3-2. The Islanders got first-period goals from Kyle Okposo (unassisted) and Blake Comeau (power-play), but the Oilers scored twice in the second period to tie it up.
Eric Cole had a goal and two assists and sparked a three-goal second-period outburst Sunday night to lead the Edmonton Oilers to a 5-2 win over Nashville. Sam Gagner and Sheldon Souray finished with a goal and an assist each, and Dwyane Roloson stopped 28 shots for Edmonton, which has won three straight after losing three in a row. Shea Weber and Martin Erat had the goals for Nashville, and Dan Ellis allowed four goals on 17 shots before being lifted for Pekka Rinne, who let in one goal on 16 shots. With the game tied at 2-2, Cole scored his fifth goal of the season at 10:50 of the second period.
Alex Hemsky and Andrew Cogliano both scored in the final minute Wednesday to end a Dallas comeback bid and give Edmonton a 5-2 victory over the Stars. The win allowed the Oilers to move out of a last-place tie with Dallas and St.
