Zador won his fifth straight start when he went 3 for 3 in the shootout to beat the Soo. He’s now dropped his GAA from near 6 to under 3. The Greyhounds have lost five straight, but at least they earned a point in this one. No official news as to why DeCoste – who has been struggling despite being expected this year to bring offensive leadership - was scratched.

Panik’s short three game scoreless streak came to an end when he scored in the first period. Playing on a line with likely 2010 first overall pick Taylor Hall and Devils third rounder Adam Henrique, it should be just a matter of time for Panik to explode offensively.
