a 7-2 win over the Boston Bruins on Tuesday night on Long Island.

conditioning, he is well worth a look.”
NASHVILLE 3- FLORIDA 1
Jonathan Huberdeau had the only goal for the Florida
Panthers in a 3-1 loss on Tuesday afternoon against the Nashville Predators.
"They were a little bit bigger. They were a little
bit more skilled…they were good players," said Huberdeau to the Florida Panthers website. "They were a bit better than Tampa. But we have to
forget about that and get ready for tomorrow."
Huberdeau has scored in both Panther rookie games. They
close out their mini-tournament this afternoon against the Tampa Bay
Lightning.
The Panthers website is stuck in 2001 and won’t let any
videos from last be embedded. Their website has highlights and a Huberdeau
interview.
WINNIPEG 0 – EDMONTON 2
The Winnipeg Jets fell 2-0 to the Edmonton Oilers on
Tuesday in Penticton.
Michael Kirkpatrick was held off the score sheet. No
individual stats were recorded again.
Prior to the game, the Jets website posted that Kirkpatrick
played on a line with Levko Koper and Jordan DePape.
Kirkpatrick got good reviews following Monday’s game against
the San Jose Sharks.
“I thought he looked very dangerous early on and faded
somewhat as the game wore on,” writes Kyle of Illegal Curve. “His compete level
is very high and had a good battle with a 6’5 San Jose defender early in the
game.”
