Senators 3, Red Wings 1: Jimmy Howard gave Detroit a chance, but Ottawa snapped a tie late in third | MLive.com
Last night’s game was just one of those tough, frustrating ones that you run into every so often. I would not dwell on the loss. Sure, it was a bad one. But, there is nothing else to do but refocus and win tonight.

Ducks lose Gibson (groin) for six weeks | ProHockeyTalk
The Ducks are now without their top-two goaltenders: John Gibson and Frederik Andersen. Andersen’s injury is not as severe as Gibson’s, but, the that does not change the fact that the Ducks will have to rely on their #3 and #4 goaltenders for the next few games.

Unless Andersen is injured again in a more long-term capacity, or if the Ducks were to lose #3 goaltender Jason Labarbera to injury, I do not expect the Ducks to have to sign Brodeur. That said, the Ducks are a good team with playoff expectations. They do not want to risk losing too many hockey games. There might be an opportunity for Martin Brodeur here.
