P.K. Subban was paid a compliment of sorts when the Pittsburgh crowd booed him every time he touched the puck. The rookie defenseman showed little respect for his elders, as he laid hits on Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin. Subban in a chicago blackhawks jersey left the game briefly when he was clipped under his visor by a high stick from Mike Comrie, and he needed several stitches over his left eye. Canadiens D P.K. Subban briefly left the game late in the first period after taking a high stick to the face from Pittsburgh C Mike Comrie. Crosby limped off the ice after taking a clearing attempt from Pittsburgh D Brooks Orpik off his right knee while killing a penalty during the second period but did not miss a shift. Crosby who liked the blackhawks jerseys very much has never been shut out during the first two games of any of his first six NHL seasons.

Carlo Colaiacovo in a marian hossa jersey scored 1:47 into overtime to lift St. Louis over Philadelphia. The Blues also got a goal from Brad Boyes. Alex Steen had two assists, and Jaroslav Halak stopped 29 shots in his St. Louis debut. The Flyers, who opened their season with a victory in Pittsburgh, got a goal from Danny Briere — his second in two games. Brian Boucher stopped 23 shots in the loss. Valtteri Filppula's second goal of the game snapped a third-period tie, and Detroit spoiled Chicago's Stanley Cup banner-raising celebration. Filppula wearing jonathan toews jersey exploited two breakdowns and scored on the power-play at 7:01 of the third, putting Detroit ahead 3-2.

The new room is as spacious as many home-team rooms around the league and includes a large-screen TV. “I wasn’t really happy with the second goal, but I couldn’t let it bother me because I had to make a big save right after that.”—Montreal goaltender Carey Price wearing patrick sharp jersey, who stopped Evgeni Malkin on a rebound after giving up a soft goal to Mark Letestu. Michael Cammalleri made his season debut in Pittsburgh after missing the Toronto game because of a one-game suspension. Cammalleri was the offensive star earlier this year when Montreal eliminated Pittsburgh in the playoffs, and he picked up where he left off by scoring the Canadiens’ first two goals. Pittsburgh coach Dan Bylsma in a patrick kane jersey said the Penguins planned to pay close attention to Cammalleri after last year’s playoffs.

Chicago defenseman John Scott wearing duncan keith jersey fell as Filppula accelerated toward him at the blue-line. Filppula cut to the net and accidentally slid a shot under Blackhawks goalie Marty Turco when defenseman Niklas Hjalmarsson dived in front of him. The Chicago Blackhawks raised their 2010 Stanley Cup championship banner, but then were done in by plays that were anything but title-worthy. Valtteri Filppula's second goal of the game snapped a third-period tie, and the Detroit Red Wings spoiled the Blackhawks' celebration with a 3-2 victory over Chicago on Saturday night. Filppula wearing tomas kopecky jersey exploited two breakdowns and scored on the power-play at 7:01, putting Detroit ahead 3-2.

The Coyotes took a 4-0 lead in the second period on goals by Taylor Pyatt, Scottie Upshall and Eric Belanger. Phoenix and Boston will play the second and final game of their series in Prague on Sunday. Steven Stamkos in a dustin byfuglien jersey had two goals and an assist to help new Tampa Bay coach Guy Boucher win his NHL debut. Stamkos had 51 goals last season to tie Pittsburgh's Sidney Crosby for the league lead. Steve Downie, Dominic Moore and Vincent Lecavalier also scored for the Lightning in their season opener. Atlanta, which trailed 4-0 in the second period, got goals from Tobias Enstrom, Ben Eager and Chris Thorburn. Thorburn wearing bobby hull jersey pulled the Thrashers within 4-3 at 7:41 of the third, but Stamkos responded with a nifty redirection from the low slot to put the Lightning back up by two with 9:01 to play.

While they were outshot 38-27 by the Penguins, they felt they had more quality scoring chances than Pittsburgh did. The Canadiens play their first home game Wednesday against Tampa Bay, and a win likely would keep the fans off Price’s back. Many are still upset that the Canadiens traded playoff hero Jaroslav Halak in the offseason with columbus blue jackets jersey, and if the Canadiens had lost Saturday, they would have been on Price because he gave up a soft goal to allow Pittsburgh to take a 2-1 lead in the third period. The Canadiens should be stronger on defense for the home opener with the return of veteran Roman Hamrlik in a colorado avalanche jersey. He has been out with a knee injury but has been practicing with the team since Oct. 4.
