Still an incredibly tight race at the top with first placed Anaheim with 69 points and tenth placed Nashville on 63 points but it's St Louis that is catching peoples eye at the moment. Unbeaten in the last 10, sitting in second place with 3 games in hand and the only team still over a .700 win rate. Tampa bay and Islanders slipped a little this week but Ottawa is on the move in the right direction. Columbus and Boston remain the most consistent place holders so far.

A couple of noteable injuries are starting to show up. Ottawa lost center Daniel Rylander for the remainder of the season, the second season ending injury of his young career, and Pittsburghs 20 year old Kirk Brashear suffered a head injury at the hands of Stars Doug Blaisdall who was ejected from the game.
