Canucksom sta zmago priborila brata Sedin, ki sta zrežiral prvi in zadnji zadetek na tekmi. Obakrat je streljal Daniel Sedin, odbit plošček pa je v mrežo pospravil njegov brat Henrik.

Z enakim izidom se je končala tudi tekma med Minnesoto in Coloradom. Za gostitelje je gol in podajo dosegel Brent Burns. Za Colorado je edini zadetek dosegel zimzeleni Joe Sakic.

Anže Kopitar bo z Los Angelesom v noči na sredo gostil San Jose.
