Ducks 4, Blue Jackets 3, OT - The Ducks managed to kill 7-of-9 power plays and converted three of their own to take down Columbus in overtime. Samuel Pahlsson scored for the OC boys on a penalty shot. Anaheim has won three of their last four and moved into a three-way tie for fourth in the Western Conference, just two points behind second place Dallas, who leads the Pacific Division.

Kings 4, Canucks 2 - Vancouver may be atop the northwest and the Kings may, well, suck -- but Los Angeles cruised to an easy victory. Jean-Sebastien Aubin has 27 saves and Jack Johnson picked up his third assist of his career (not counting all those albums frat guys use to convince girls they have a gentle side ... wait, wrong Jack Johnson).

Elsewhere - Fan dies at Candlestick Park, this time without a bizarre or ironic backstory ... ESPN asks fans if they're rooting for KG to blow out his knee ... David Beckham might be available to play in March, you know, if he isn't filming a movie or something ... NY Jets Gate D Party has been can-canned ... Shark beats Kangaroo. OK, that's not really sports.
