David Rittich made sure the New York Islanders' return from the holiday break came with a statement. Rittich stopped 27 shots for his ninth career shutout as the New York Islanders beat the New York Rangers 2-0 on Saturday night at UBS Arena, giving the home crowd plenty to celebrate in the latest chapter of the rivalry. "Our goaltender was outstanding," head coach Patrick Roy said. "He was the player of the game in my mind."

"It's always great to hear from a Ravens legend," cornerback Marlon Humphrey said. "Maybe we need a Raven to come back every week if we're going to practice like that and play like that."

On their heels from the start, the Sharks allowed two goals in the first period and three more early in the second including two just nine seconds apart in a 6-0 loss to the Colorado Avalanche on Wednesday night at Ball Arena. Sharks starting goalie Yaroslav Askarov has been one of the NHL's best goalies this month, but didn't have much support as he allowed four goals on 19 shots, with the fourth coming by Avalanche defenseman Josh Manson at even strength at the 4:51 mark of the second period.

Miami made three errors in the second as Detroit scored twice. With Spencer Torkelson on first, Colt Keith's grounder to first went off Wagaman for the first error. Second baseman Máximo Acosta retrieved the ball in foul territory and threw wildly past third. Left fielder Troy Johnston tried to run down the ball but it bounced off a fence, through his legs and past as Keith reached third. Keith scored on Dillon Dingler's single.

Since returning from the IL, Blake Snell has had a sub-2 ERA, but today was his first blip. Early on he was doing his usual thing, as after a one-out walk in the 1st, there was a wild pitch and stolen base with two outs, but nothing to worry about. He rebounded with a seven-pitch 2nd, and then worked around a two-out walk and wild pitch in the 3rd. The 4th was eventful, as it started with a Teoscar Hernandez sliding catch that was ruled a double at first before being reversed.

The tough stretch of series for the Dodgers continued tonight against the Reds, and they got their ace Hunter Greene to start, but the Dodgers were up to the challenge.
