NHL Thursday: Penguins rally back against rival Flyers

After the game ended in a 2-1 victory for the Blue Jackets, the team announced the bad news: Dorsett fractured his clavicle on the play, and will miss the remainder of the season.

This injury will be a blow for Columbus, which is riding a three-game winning streak and looking to keep things going in the right direction. Dorsett has played in every game this season for Columbus, contributing nine points and earning 53 penalty minutes in his role as an enforcer for the team.

Strachan received a five minute major for interference and a ten minute misconduct, and there’s an excellent change he’ll be hearing from league officials about the whole “obviously targeting the head” aspect of this play.

Please, you guys: STOP TARGETING PEOPLE’S HEADS. IT IS NOT ALLOWED.

• Injuries can’t stop the ‘Hawks

Welcome to lousy goalie night in the NHL!

As the period ended, Fleury was seen slamming his stick in frustration as he headed to the dressing room. There’s an excellent chance he won’t be in net when the second period begins.

2. Will Sidney Crosby extend his five-game point streak?

Much like Voracek for the Flyers, Crosby has been a point-producing machine. Entering Thursday night as the NHL’s leading scorer with 36 points, the Penguins captain has accumulated 19 points over his last 10 games. This includes 11 points over the course of his five-game streak. Will it continue on Thursday night?

It will mark the third of four meetings between the clubs this season and will be the final game between the two in Philadelphia this regular season.

The goal was Voracek’s third of the game and it was the second consecutive contest in which he recorded three or more points. Dating back to Feb. 16, the 23-year-old Kladno native has compiled 17 points (seven goals, 10 assists) in nine games.
