St. John's 60 Pittsburgh 59: The Red Storm punched their tournament ticket with an emphatic win over another Top-10 team thanks to Dwight Hardy and Steve Lavin's sneakers. Hardy scored the winning basket with just over a second left, the final two of his team-leading 19 points. Lavin sneakers improved to 6-1 and have become the most important good luck charm for the Johnnies since Looie's sweaters.
Islanders 3 L.A. 0: Matt Moulson scored twice, his 22nd and 23rd goals of the season and Al Montoya had the best game of his young career. Montoya stopped all thirty-five shots he faced as he won the fifth game of his career.
Devils 4 Carolina 1: Hottest team in the NHL? The Devils certainly seem to be, winning their seventh-straight game and closing to within ten points of a playoff spot. Dainius Zubrus had two goals while Johan Hedberg made 24 saves.
