Recapping last week's NHL scoring= MN Pulse

  • On Tuesday of last week Alex Goligoski got his second goal of the season on a pass from Sydney Crosby. Goligoski is playing a large role on the Penguins power play now that Sergei Gonchar is out with an injury. This goal gave Penguins a 5-1 lead with 10:16 left in the third period.

  • On Wednesday the Carolina Hurricanes went to New York and was the first team to lose to the Islanders this year. The Canes earned a point by taking the game to a shootout. Matt Cullen scored his second goal of the year. He was trying to pas the puck to the front from a sharp angle, but banked it off the defenseman and in.

  • Not a MN native, but former Gophers star Thomas Vanek scored a somewhat garbage goal crashing the net hard from a pass from former Wisconsin star Drew Stafford.

Parise added his second goal and fifth of the year on an empty net to complete the 4-2 win. Marian Gaborik scored his seventh goal of the year giving the Rangers a 2-1 lead in the second period.

  • New Jersey beat Pittsburgh 4-1 Saturday night. In the game Alex Goligoski got his third goal of the year and second of the week. At the time the Penguins were already behind 3-0. Goligoski was deep in the zone during an offensive frenzy and banged home a rebound. In the same game Zach Parise scored one of the prettiest goals you'll see when dealing in a small amount of space. He battled in the corner for a time then eventually got a pass taking it to the net on his backhand solidifying a 4-1 win over the former Stanley Cup Champions.
