LATE-GAME HEROICS II
In the Washington-Detroit match-up, a one-timer from Alex Ovechkin with only seven seconds remaining in regulation sent the game to extra time, but it was Detroit forward, Patrick Eaves, who ended the Capitals’ comeback attempt in the shootout. It was the third time this season that Ovechkin had scored a tying goal in the final minute of the third period -- according to the Elias Sports Bureau he is the first player to score three such goals in one season since Brian Gionta did so 2006-07 for the Devils.

*Ovechkin leads the League scoring race by 10 goals with 39 goals (39-18--57) in 51 games this season -- he has 5-4—9 in his last five games.

CRUISING ALTITUDE
The Jets improved to 7-2-0 under head coach Paul Maurice by fending off multiple Canucks comebacks before Devin Setoguchi scored the winner with 2:56 remaining in the third period. After Zach Bogosian opened the scoring 5:02 into the first, Setoguchi opened up a 2-0 lead just 1:05 later. Setoguchi broke a seven-game point scoring drought in what was his first multi-goal game since Oct. 4; he now has 10 goals on the season (10-13--23) giving the Jets a League-leading nine different players with ten or more goals.

* Mark Scheifele (0-1—1) earned his fourth point in as many games to retake sole possession of third place in rookie scoring with 11-21—32.
