Today's NHL Overview and Every Goal Every Game from the Weekend

The weekend featured plenty of action and help sort out the playoff races, especially in the Eastern Conference where a five point gap developed between Buffalo and Carolina for the final playoff position.

The Western Conference still has ten teams in play but Calgary's flame appears to be growing faint as they are quickly running out of games. Dallas faces a murderers' row, playing every other team in the Pacific Division on the road. I'm betting that the current top eight will be in the playoffs but I do expect plenty of shuffling for final position.

With the Kings and Detroit facing injuries to key players, it will be interesting to see how they respond.

That will start tonight for the Wings with Joey MacDonald in goal as they host the Blackhawks in the Versus/TSN game at 6:30 Central. In the late game, Anaheim will host Colorado in what should be another two points for the Ducks.

So since there is little action tonight, here is every goal from the weekend courtesy of NHL on the Fly.

Canucks Clinch Northwest and Every Goal from Every Game

There were only four games on Wednesday night but all were meaningful in the playoff races in both conferences and a player had two goals in each contest.

Vancouver was the first team to clinch a playoff berth with a workmanlike 4-2 win over the hapless Colorado Avalanche. Henrik Sedin had two of the Canucks four goals.

In the other game in the West, Anaheim vaulted over Nashville and Calgary to move into eight place behind the strong goaltending of Ray Emery in a 2-1 win over the Blues. The double goal man in this contest was Jason Blake.

In an inter-division game, Detroit put an end to the Washington Capitals nine game winning streak in a 3-2 win where Henrik Zetterberg had a pair of goals.

Finally, James Reimer proved that he still had some gas in him and Dion Phaneuf scored twice in Toronto's 3-2 win at Carolina that brought the Leafs within two points of Carolina and back within four points of a playoff spot.

So here are all of the goals from Wednesday evening...
