Montreal, QC (SportsNetwork.com) – Gustav Nyquist scored with just 27.3 seconds remaining in overtime, lifting the Detroit Red Wings to a 2-1 victory over the Montreal Canadiens in both teams’ first game following the Olympic break. Johan Franzen, returning from a concussion that sidelined him for 22 of Detroit’s final 23 contests prior to the stoppage, assisted on Nyquist’s game- winner as well as Todd Bertuzzi’s first-period power-play goal. Jimmy Howard stopped 19-of-20 shots to help the Red Wings improve to 4-1-1 over their last six outings. The Canadiens had a three-game win streak halted, but still managed to notch a point thanks to Brian Gionta’s game-tying tally with just 28.7 seconds left in regulation.

Vancouver, BC (SportsNetwork.com) – Jannik Hansen scored the game’s only goal late in the third and Eddie Lack posted a 20-save shutout, as the Vancouver Canucks ended their seven-game slide with a 1-0 win over the St. Louis Blues in the first game for both teams following the Olympic break. The Canucks stumbled into the nearly three-week hiatus riding their longest losing streak since the 1998-99 season, but halted the skid thanks to a stellar effort from their rookie netminder, who secured his third shutout of the season. St. Louis, on the other hand, had gone 3-0-1 in its four games prior to the break before being shutout for the first time this season on Wednesday.
