Roberto Luongo falls short against San Jose

Roberto Luongo lost his third consecutive playoff game (first and possibly last of 2013) as the San Jose Sharks beat the Vancouver Canucks 3-1 in Game 1 on Wednesday.

It was hardly Luongo's fault, although national and local media members probably won't let that stop them from stirring the pot. Luongo was strong through two periods in holding the Sharks to one goal, but was overwhelmed in the third, ultimately stopping 25 out of 28 shots.

Sabres lose Cody Hodgson to minor injury

Cody Hodgson will miss Thursday's game against Ottawa because of minor undisclosed ailment.

He "took a little bit of a banging last game," so he will take a game off to rest. Interim coach Ted Nolan thinks it will be just a one-game absence, so consider Hodgson's status as day-to-day.
