NHL

(Tier 1)

Third home game in a row and Zenko's first start of the year. Deslauriers is kept in considering how well he just played with Rychel but Little is taking injured Shipachyov's spot as centre of that line. Byron centre's Little's old line with Tatar and Reaves on either side. Tatar gets a chance to play against his old team and Pacioretty will be in the lineup for the Wings.

Rumoured negotiations are between the Jets and the Habs including forwards Joel Armia and Nikita Scherbak.

The Habs lose in Overtime and didn't take a single penalty. OOC: This is how you can tell it's a sim, no bias against Montreal. Habs rolled their lines although Domi seemed to have a little too much ice-time. The Wings first goal was double Thornton's fault as he lost the draw and then couldn't control his man. Joe simply had a bad game. Pacioretty even scored on us. Byron scored on a breakaway. Glendening got two on Zenko who let in a couple outside shots but most of the goals weren't his fault.

The Nailers still don't have their full team together, so this isn't a great example of a game.
