Geneva 4, Moscow 2 – Frederik Andersen and the Geneva Generals made  statement Wednesday and that was that they will not go down without a fight. The Generals were outshot, but Andersen stopped 31 shots to give his teammates a chance to erase a 2-0 Moscow lead in the second period. Geneva scored 4 straight goals, with Mike Fisher’s 15th of the season breaking a 2-2 tie with 5 minutes to play. Fisher and Rickard Wallin had 2 points each and Dennis Wideman blocked 4 shots for Geneva, who are now in 8th place in the Southern Conference. But Zurich is poised to pass them just 2 points behind with 3 games in hand. Prague is a point better than Geneva and both teams have one game left on their schedules. The Generals will probably face a must-win situation when they play in Madrid on Monday. Two days later, Prague has a tough assignment: they will play at Berlin.

Prague 5, Oslo 3 – Prague overwhelmed Oslo for their second win in two days and the 2 points keeps the Wolf Pack ahead of Geneva by a point. Shots were 42-18 in favor of Prague, but they didn’t lead in the game until there was 5:38 left in the second period when Andrej Sekera scored to break a 3-3 tie. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Jason Spezza each had 2 points for Prague and they combined for 15 shots on goal. Their teammates Justin Schultz and Martin Ruzicka each had a goal and an assist, while Matt Irwin and Mikhail Grabovski had 2-point games for the Outlaws. The Oslo line of Tyler Sequin, Tomas Hertl and P-A Parenteau was minus 4 as a unit, making Seguin minus 78 for the season so far.

Paris 5, Milan 3 – Alexander Semin scored his 32nd goal of the season early in the third period to break a 3-3 tie and that tally proved to be the game-winning goal.He and line mates Corey Perry and Evgeny Malkin each scored a goal and they combined for 8 points en route to three star selections for all of them. Niklas Danielson, Kyle Okposo and Tyler Johnson were minus 3 in the game and Okposo and Johnson share a league-worst minus 79 rating. Johnson had 4 shot blocks and 3 hits in the game.

Berlin 6, Lisbon 3 – The Berlin Smurfs keep pushing toward the Belfast Giants and the President’s Trophy, picking up 2 more points at home Wednesday. David Krejci set the tone for the game, setting up Ryan Callahan and Dion Phaneuf for goals int he first three minutes of the game. Callahan’s goal was his 40th of the yearend the first of a hat trick. Krejci, Callahan and Logan Couture had a dream game, each finishing plus 5 and combining for 9 points and 6 shot blocks. Lisbon’s top line of Steven Stamkos, John Tavares and Zach Parise were minus 3 and limited to a Parise goal and a Tavares assist. With two games to play, either Tavares or Stamkos will finish as the league’s leading scorer. Tavares currently has 120 points and Stamkos is 3 behind him. Teammate Shea Weber has 72 points and will finish as the league’s top-scoring defenseman. In the playoffs, the team from Portugal will probably play the team from Spain.
