David Legwand's wrister with 0.3 seconds left
in the first period proved to be the difference, as the Nashville Predators
hung on for a 3-2 victory over the Colorado Avalanche at Sommet Center.
Joe Thornton's third-period goal was the
difference, and the San Jose Sharks secured the best record in NHL history
after 26 games with a 3-2 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets.
