Career games and counting for Detroit Red Wings' defenceman Nicklas Lidstrom, who was scheduled to reach the milestone in last night's game against the Edmonton Oilers. Lidstrom becomes the 31st player in NHL history to play that many games. His predecessor as Red Wings' captain, Gordie Howe, is the all-time leader at 1,767.

Victories in his first 18 decisions by Flyers' goaltender Brian Boucher, who started Thursday for Philadelphia (against Dallas) for the first time since Dec. 21. Boucher is the de facto No.1 until Michael Leighton returns from a high ankle sprain. Ray Emery, the other Flyers' netminder, is out for the season following hip surgery.
70
Points by Washington Capitals defenceman Mike Green, making him just the 13th defenceman in NHL history to post back-to-back 70-point seasons. With a plus-minus of plus-31, Green is the co-favourite along with the Chicago Blackhawks' Duncan Keith for the 2010 Norris Trophy.
