Tied 1-1 with the clock winding down, the Avs were unable to contain the elusive Sergei Samsonov and allowed him to maneuver from the right corner to the right circle. The Russian winger proceeded to snap a high wrist shot past goaltender Patrick Roy with half a second showing on the clock. And if anyone knows how valuable that overtime point lo |

Just before the start of the season the Flames got some help for their top two offensive threats and acquired centers Chris Drury and Stephane Yelle from the Colorado Avalanche for stud blueliner Derek Morris and Dean McAmmond. Defensively, Morris' exit leaves a void atop the depth chart, as he was the clear anchor of the group. He leaves behind a trio -- Robyn Regehr, Denis Gauthier and Toni Lydman -- that provides a fine |
