Its the Monster Mash - Halloween is all about Monsters and such and that is what Nashville Predator forward David Legwand was on Halloween Night. Legwand had a goal and 2 assists in the 3-0 win over the Phoenix Coyotes. That was the treat, the trick was not to do it all in the 1st period and then go silent the rest of the night.

Its trick or treating time! – Anaheim Duck forward Mathieu Perreault went trick or treating last night against the Boston Bruins. Perreault who was wearing his Teemu Selanne costume scored a goal and assisted on another in the 3-2 shoot out loss to the Boston Bruins.

Just plain ugly – Nashville Predator goalkeeper Carter Hutton was absolutely brutal in last nights 5-4 shoot out loss to the Phoenix Coyotes. Hutton who said before the game that he loves to steal kids candy on Halloween allowed 4 goals on just 25 shots for a 0.840 save %.

Greiss was Mr Hyde when he allowed 3 goals on just 11 shots for a .727 save % in the 1st period. But from the 2nd period on Dr Jekyll showed up and Greiss stopped 28 of 29 shots for .966 save %.
