Stockholm 5, Helsinki 4 – Helsinki put in 3 powerplay goals, but with a 4-1 lead, they allowed Stockholm’s penalty killers to score two goals in about 30 seconds and that gave the Eagles enough momentum to eventually tie and overtake the Jokerit. The shorthanded unit of Zach Bogosian, Olli Maatta, Colin Greening and Sean Monahan…
Gothenburg 6, Paris 2 – This is odd. Paris got blown out by Gothenburg Wednesday. The powerful Rouge Eiffels mustered just 15 shots against a Devils team that is 12th overall and now on a 4-game win streak. Gothenburg seemed to have something to prove and they floored Paris in the first period, not letting them off the canvas for…
Oslo 3, Belfast 0 – Semyon Varlamov slammed the door tight on the visiting Cup champion Giants, shutting them out in Oslo with a 35-save performance. It was his third shutout in less than a month. Earlier in the season, Varlamov shut out St. Petersburg and Bratislava on back-to-back nights. The goalie’s play seemed to give…
Helsinki 6, Prague 3 – Jack Johnson scored his first two goals of the season as part of an uncharacteristic offensive showing by the Jokerit Monday. Both of Johnson’s goals came while Helsinki had a man advantage and the PP unit scored 3 goals in 4 chances. Thomas Vanek of Helsinki led all scorers with…

The 24-year-old center was the first person the franchise drafted when GM Terry Moutafis called his name on Season 1 draft day to make him the 22nd player selected overall. Two rounds later, Moutafis drafted…
Gothenburg 4, London 1 – Saturday was a bad day for 4 teams that saw key forwards go down with injuries. Late in the first period in Gothenburg, there was a scramble of players fighting for the puck in front of the net and a few of them went to the ice at about the…
EURO League officials acted quickly in the wake of a vicious elbow delivered Friday night to the head of veteran Henrik Zetterberg, captain of the Bern Bears. Zetterberg is expected to be out of action for up to 4 weeks. This morning, league commissioner Chuck Massaro announced the hiring of a Director of Player Discipline…
Berlin 5, Geneva 1 – The Geneva Generals played better Friday night against the Berlin Smurfs than they did the night before, but they still have to be glad to get a three-week break from the hot German team. Berlin defeated Geneva 4-1 and 5-1 in successive nights. Alexander Edler was the star of the game…
Copenhagen 5, Munich 2 – As the score went from 1, to 2, to 3 nothing, the handwriting was on the wall in Munich. Changes had to be made. The Dire Wolf were not even trying, it appeared. There was no zest in their play, the mood on the bench seemed hopeless and miserable, and players weren’t…
