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.

Jaromir Jagr hits 20 goal plateau Friday

Jaromir Jagr hit the 20 goal plateau for the 18th time in his NHL career on Friday.

Only four players have had more 20 goal seasons than Jagr including Gordie Howe (22), Ron Francis (20), Dave Andreychuk (19) and Brendan Shanahan (19). Jagr has 55 points this season in 65 games which is 24th best in the NHL. Not too shabby for a 42-year-old who looks like he has plenty left in the tank.

Ruff: Lehtonen likely suffered a concussion

Kari Lehtonen likely suffered a concussion Saturday night.

The netminder was run into by the Wild's Erik Haula in the third period, losing his helmet and being bloodied in the process. Tim Thomas came in to replace him. "Obviously not good," Stars coach Lindy Ruff said. "Likelihood, it's a concussion." Lehtonen blocked 26 of 29 shots he faced in the 4-3 win, with Thomas earning the win on six saves.

Seguin powers Stars again in impressive night

Tyler Seguin powered the Stars to a 4-3 win over the Wild on Saturday night with three points.

Seguin scored and assisted twice, so he now has eight points over his last two tilts. His power-play goal tied the game at three apiece midway through the third period. Fantasy owners who snagged Seguin based on his talent -- and not based on an off 2012-13 season -- have been rewarded with a fantastic season: 29 goals and 66 points. Erik Cole (goal, assist) had the winner at 15:11 of the third period. Alex Chiasson and Jamie Benn picked up the other markers.

Artem Anisimov stays hot, pots game-winner

Artem Anisimov was the lone goal scorer in the Blue Jackets' 1-0 triumph over the Predators on Saturday night.

The Columbus center got the game-winner at 13:35 of the third period, with assists from James Wisniewski and Corey Tropp. Anisimov now has goals in five of his last six games, with six in that span. His 19th of the year became his career-high as well, though he still only has 33 points. The offensive make-up is certainly there, though it tends to come in spurts with the 25-year-old.

Jaroslav Halak wins in debut with Capitals

Jaroslav Halak picked up a win in his debut with the Capitals, a 3-2 victory over the Coyotes on Saturday night.

It wasn't looking too good for Halak and the Capitals at Verizon Center, that is until their offensive struggles were solved 50 minutes into the game, with three third-period goals. Halak ended up making 31 saves on 33 shots in the win. He has a 2.22 goals-against average and .918 save percentage this season. He's a pressure-tested goalie who could really thrive during the stretch run.

Tuomo Ruutu makes old team pay with winner

Tuomo Ruutu netted the game-winning goal against his former team, the Hurricanes, in the Devils' 5-4 win Saturday night.

Ruutu also had an assist, so he now has six goals and 18 points on the year. All of a sudden, the Devils' puck luck has turned in their favor. New Jersey has scored four or more goals in five of six games since the Olympic break. Still, Ruutu, because of injuries that have sapped some spark from his game, is years away from the days of being a reasonable offensive producer. Adam Henrique picked up two, with Travis Zajac (goal, two helpers), and Damien Brunner scoring the others. Marek Zidlicky registered two helpers.

Rostislav Klesla, 31, retires from NHL

Rostislav Klesla has decided to retire from the NHL.

Klesla was traded from the Coyotes to the Capitals a day before the trade deadline, then sent from the Capitals to the Sabres in the Jaroslav Halak deal on deadline day, but never played for either team. Klesla, 31, had 159 points, a minus-46 rating and 620 penalty minutes in 659 NHL games, most of which was spent with the Blue Jackets and the last three-plus seasons with the Coyotes. "With all due respect to the Sabres organization, I decided this week not to continue playing hockey this season. It has been a tough year for injury and moving several times to new teams. I will now take some time off and get ready to continue my career in Europe. I would like to thank my fans and all the people that have helped me. I am grateful for the career I have had in the NHL and all the people that I have met along the way who have supported me and my family."

Ryan Miller improves to 4-0 with St. Louis

Ryan Miller stopped 26 shots in a 2-1 win over Colorado on Saturday.

He has won four straight games and lost none since joining the St. Louis Blues. Miller improves his record to 19-22-3 on the year. He has a 1.50 goals-against average and a .933 save percentage with his new club.

Paul Stastny exits Saturday's game early

Paul Stastny suffered a back injury on his first shift against St. Louis Saturday afternoon and he wasn't able to return.

He logged just 40 seconds of ice time and the Avalanche didn't provide an update on his status during the contest. He'll probably be re-evaluated on Sunday.

Groin issue sidelines Jonas Gustavsson again

Jonas Gustavsson is experiencing groin problems again, so it doesn't look like he will dress on Sunday.

Detroit has called up Petr Mrazek to serve as Jimmy Howard's understudy against the New York Rangers. Gustavsson allowed four goals on 25 shots in Friday's win over New Jersey. He has been hampered by a groin issue throughout the season and this will be the third time he has missed games because of it.

Marian Hossa's return from UBI is 'on target'

Marian Hossa (upper body) is projected to resume skating next week and return to playing the week after.

"He's on target. He looks good. He's working hard in the gym," said coach Joel Quenneville. "I think at some point this week he'll be on the ice. Hopefully he'll be playing before we know it. I don't think it's going to be shorter than two [weeks]." Hossa suffered an upper-body injury last Saturday against Pittsburgh and his initial timetable was set for two-to-three weeks.
