What do you need to know about last nights games? Joe McDonald gives us his take on the biggest and best performances. This is where we say, Morning, Joe.Double trouble: The Montreal Canadiens began last season 9-0-0. Defenseman P.K. Subban was on that team. After a 3-0 win Wednesday over the Vancouver Canucks, the Canadiens have begun this season 9-0-1. Subban is not on this team. He was traded during the offseason to the Nashville Predators straight up for defenseman Shea Weber. Records aside, this version of the Canadiens is much better than last seasons. Weber brings a different dynamic both on and off the ice, and the back end is more stable. Weber has four goals and six assists for 10 points in 10 games, and is a plus-14. Hes averaging more than 25 minutes per game. For the Predators, Subban has two goals and three assists for five points in nine games. Hes a minus-6 and is averaging 24 minutes per game. With a healthy Carey Price, who made 42 saves in the shutout against the Canucks, along with Webers play and leadership, the Canadiens will be atop the Atlantic Division for the majority of this season. Weber is a major reason that this team is legit.Louis better than this: After he signed a six-year deal worth $36 million with the Canucks, veteran forward Loui Eriksson was expected to have an immediate impact while playing on the same line with Henrik Sedin and Daniel Sedin. The Swedish trio played together during the World Cup of Hockey and their evident chemistry was a gd sign of things to come for the Canucks. It hasnt continued into the NHL season. Canucks coach Willie Desjardins has moved Eriksson off the top line, and after a 3-0 loss Wednesday to the Canadiens, Eriksson remains without a goal and has only four assists in his first 10 games for the Canucks. Eriksson is not alone in his scoring drought: Vancouver has scored just 17 goals in 10 games. Eriksson is a world-class player and was one of the Boston Bruins best players. He will break out -- it wont be long before he finds his game and is reunited with the Sedins.Merry Kris-mas: After missing five games with an upper-body injury, Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Kris Letang?scored a goal, added an assist and was a plus-3 to help his team to a 5-1 victory over the Anaheim Ducks Wednesday night. Hes as important to Pittsburghs success as any player in the lineup, including the best in the world, Sidney Crosby. In fact, Letang was a close second to Crosby for the Conn Smythe after the Penguins won the Stanley Cup over the San Jose Sharks in June. Letang scored an incredible goal that proved to be the winner in Pittsburghs 3-1 win in the deciding Game 6 victory. The Penguins potent offense begins with its defense, and Letang leads the way. When he has the puck, gd things happen. Last season, he had a career-high 67 points, and he has not skipped a beat on his return. Oh, and by the way, Penguins Cup-winning goalie Matt Murray made his first start of the season on Wednesday after breaking his thumb during the World Cup of Hockey for Team North America. He finished with 32 saves. Custom Chicago Blackhawks Jerseys .ca NHL Power Rankings for the second straight week, ahead of the Pittsburgh Penguins and Colorado Avalanche.

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Journeyman goalie Chad Johnson, in his first season with Calgary, is beginning to show he can be a source of stability for the up-and-down Flames.Johnson made 34 saves for his second shutout in five starts, leading Calgary over the Columbus Blue Jackets 2-0 on Wednesday night.We just wanted to come in here and stick to our system, said Johnson, who also blanked the Minnesota Wild on Nov. 15. Get some pucks deep and wait for our opportunities and we did that and capitalized on the chances that we had.Johnson is 4-1 in his past five starts.Troy Brouwer and Micheal Ferland scored for Calgary, which has sought consistency between the pipes during the early part of the season. The Flames, whose maligned special teams came up big in this one, have traded wins and losses for five games.Johnny made some big saves for us and that breeds confidence throughout the lineup, Calgarys Matt Stajan said.Columbus dropped to 10-3-3 in its last 16 and has lost two straight at home since rolling off seven wins in a row, a franchise record.We were on the outside all night long, Columbus coach John Tortorella said. Chad saw every shot. I thought our first period was gd but from then it went downhill.Calgary, ranked 29th in penalty killing entering the game, was perfect during a long Columbus power play in the second period, and then its league-worst power play added a goal in the third.Calgary led 1-0 despite being significantly outshot before Ferland snapped one past Sergei Bobrovsky from the slot at 6:25 of the third. Leading to the score, Dennis Wideman kept the puck in the zone on a play that Markus Hannikainen tried to skate out of danger.Johnson did the rest, calmly turning aside shot after shot.There were times when we were on our heels but I think we still stuck together and battled as a group, he said.After a scoreless first period, the action picked up in the second.dddddddddddd Matthew Tkachuks double minor for high-sticking 14 seconds in put the Blue Jackets on the man advantage, but the leagues top power play only mustered one shot. The Flames allowed three power-play scores Monday in a loss at Buffalo.Sloppy, it hurt us momentum wise, Tortorella said. Four minutes we really had nothing accomplished. I think they end up with a couple of scoring chances.Calgary tk the lead shortly after aided by a bad sequence for Seth Jones. He was flat fted in his own zone when his pass was easily intercepted by Brouwer at the blue line. Kris Versteeg got the puck and marched around Jones, threading a pass back to Brouwer for the drstep tap-in to make it 1-0 at 65.I just tried to make a play and get it over to Brouwer going to the net, Versteeg said.Five minutes later, Cam Atkinson zmed in on a breakaway, but Johnson gloved his shot.We were able to turn a corner after he (Johnson) stopped that breakaway in the second and we know it wasnt pretty before that, Stajan said. But then we started to get pucks deep and shots on net. We played a solid third period. Its a gd road win.Game notes Brouwers goal was his first in 10 games. ...
