- Ilya Kovalchuk‘s shorthanded goal late in the first period proved to be the game winner as the Devils beat the Flyers 5-3. Adam Henrique had a pair for New Jersy, with Patrik Elias and Andrei Loktionov adding singles, making a winner of Johan Hedberg. Jakub Voracek and Scott Hartnell scored for the reeling Flyers.
- Curtis Glencross and Lee Stempniak each had a goal and an assist and Matt Stajan had 2 helpers as the Flames beat up on Jonas Gustavsson and the Red Wings 5-2. Jay Bouwmeester, Alex Tanguay and Blake Comeau had the other Flames goals while Niklas Kronwall and Valteri Filppula replied for the Wings.
