Chicago needed more than 65 minutes to do it, but picked up a 3-2 shootout win over Nashville. The Red Wings, meanwhile, took the Avs in regulation by the same score, and St. Blues won to move into eighth in the West.

USA TODAY SportsRemember that game? The easiest way to score a goal in NHL 10 was to wait for the goalie to cover the puck and then poke check the puck out from under him and into the gaping net. Unfortunately, EA Sports wised up and fixed that glitch, but I’ll always remember it fondly.

So three cheers for sportsmanship!
