Hodgson could solve
Canuck scoring woes

VANCOUVER (CP) — The desperate search for added
scoring punch may be over for the goal-hungry Vancouver
Canucks,

The Canucks think they've found their additive in Dan
Hodgson, a slick centre demoted to the minors last month,
but recalled this week to give some direction to the power
play.

Hodgson scored once and looked efficient on the power
play at times when the Canucks staged a third period
comeback Wednesday night to gain a 4-4 overtime deadlock
against the Buffalo Sabres in the National Hockey League.

“The presence of Hodgson gives us the other offensive
line we need,” said Canucks coach Bob McCammon. “He's a
great little playmaker who could turn out to be a pretty
valuable guy.”

The Canucks trailed 4-2 in the third period when
Hodgson scored on a rebound at 15:10 after some hard work
by forechecking linemates Rich Sutter and Dave Saunders.

Sutter then scored the tying goal on a power play at
17:09 when he tipped in a low shot by Doug Lidster after a
tripping penalty to Buffalo defenceman Mike Ramsey.

“We finally got some breaks in the third after working
hard all game,” said Sutter. “My role on this team is to be a
leader and I had to kick a few butts on the bench tonight to
get us going.

“We've got to play hard all night to be a strong,
competitive team. We didn't write ourselves off and we
wouldn't be denied.”

Greg Adams, with his 13th goal in 15 games, and Petri
Skriko also scored for the Canucks, 4-9-2, as they moved into
a fourth-place tie with the idle Los Angeles Kings in the
Smythe Division standings.

The Sabres got a goal and two assists from assertive
centre Christian Ruuttu, the most dominate player in the
wide-open affair.

The Finnish pivot set up linemates Dave Andreychuk
and Mike Foligno for goals and nearly scored the winner in
overtime, but twice was denied by rookie netminder Kirk
McLean of the Canucks.

Darren Puppa played another strong game in goal for
Buffalo as Vancouver outshot the Sabres 39-19, Puppa is
unbeaten in five starts this season with a 4-0-1 record.

NEW LINE

‘The composition of Vancouver's new scoring line is a
strange mix. Hodgson began the n in the minors with
the Fredericton Express of the Am in League. Saunders,
a rookie pro from St. Lawrence University, started out with
the Flint Spirits of the International League. Saunders was
recalled last week.

“I'm impressed with the effort of that line,” added
McCammon. “Sutter's a gamer, a real competitor, Hodgson
has the skills to score and Saunders looks like he can make
some contributions down the road after he gets used to the
league.”

Hodgson, 22, a native of Fort Vermillion, Alta., was
leading the AHL scoring with 26 points when he was
recalled. He was the major junior player of the year in
Canada for the 1984-85 season when he led the Prince Albert
Raiders of the Western League to the Memorial Cup

Rare shutout posted

By The Canadian Press

It happens about as fre-
quently as a full eclipse of the
sun, but opposing goalten-
ders posted shutouts Wed-
nesday night in the same

game.

The Hartford Whalers and
Montreal Canadiens duelled
to a 00 tie in National
Hockey League action Wed-
nesday night.

It was the first scoreless
tie for the Whalers since
joining the league in 1979-80.

In other games, it was:
Boston Bruins 3, Toronto
Maple Leafs 2; Calgary
Flames 4, Minnesota North
Stars 3; Buffalo Sabres 4,
Vancouver Canucks 4; Pitts-
burgh Penguins 3, Wash-
ington Capitals 2; and Chi-
cago Blackhawks 6, Detroit
Red Wings 3.

“When you're ahead 3-0 or
something like that you can't
wait to get it over,” said
Whalers goaltender Mike
Liut, who stopped 24 shots.
“But in a game like this, it’s
still on the line.”

Montreal goalie Brian Hay-
ward made 23 saves — in-
cluding a stop on Tiger Wil-
liams off a rising slap shot
with seven minutes remain-

ing.

“I think I got a piece of it
but the puck also hit a post,”
Hayward said.

Montreal, which extended
its unbeaten streak to eight
games, was involved in the
NHL's last scoreless tie — on
Oct. 15, 1986 at Buffalo.

Liut recorded his 18th
cateer shutout, his eighth as
a Whaler and first of the
season. The shutout was the
third in Hayward’s career
and first of the season.

The Whalers are winless in
their last four, 0-2-2, while

Scoring chances were
limited for both teams
through the first two periods,
except for an opening blitz in
which the Whalers outshot
the Canadiens 8-2 in the first
7:31 of the game.

In the second period, Mon-
treal outshot Hartford 63
and collected five of its shots
during three power plays.

Penguins 3 Capitals 2

Randy Cunneyworth
scored one goal and set up
another in a three-goal sec-
ond period that carried the
hometown Penguins over
Washington.

Rob Brown and David
Hannan also scored for the
Penguins who won for the
fourth time in the last five
games.

Mike Gartner and Kelly
Miller scored for the Capitals
who dropped their fourth
straight game.

Bruins 3 Leafs 2

Toronto lost its third
straight as Jay Miller broke a
2-2 tie at 5:02 of the third
period, lifting Boston into
fourth place in the Adams
Division with a 7-7-2 record.

Cam Neely and Randy
Burridge also scored for the
Bruins, while Al Iafrate and
Vincent D: scored

34 minutes apart lifted Cal-
gary Flames over Minnesota.

The North Stars closed
within 43 with 2:11 re-
maining in the game when
Dino Ciccarelli scored his
seventh goal of the season
after taking a pass from
Keith Acton.

Blackhawks 6 Red Wings 3

Wayne Presley scored
three power-play goals as the
Blackhawks recorded a team
record five goals with a man
advantage.

Chicago increased its lead
to 8-1 in the second period on
Everett Sanipess’s goal at
1:46. Detroit's Bob Probert
cut the lead to 32 but
Presley followed with a goal
at 8:49 from just outside the

Steve Larmer gave Chi-
cago a 5-2 lead with a power-
play goal at 9:58 of the third
period and Presley gave the
Blackhawks a four-goal ad-
vantage with his third power-
play goal, at 13:08.

Free agency
not for Expos

MONTREAL (CP) — Ex-
pos general manager Bill
Stoneman says his club
doesn't intend to be active in
the free agent sweepstakes
this winter, but it is already.

“Our philosophy is not to
be a major participant,” the
Montreal GM said Wednes-
day.

“The only guys we're
really interested in are our
own. We've talked to all our
players or their agents, and
the ions will prob-

only one of eight previous
games, outshot Toronto 45-

ably take some time because
they can only start deter-
mining their market value
this week.
“But we want them all
back.”

Seven of the 76 players
who filed for free agency

before Monday's midnight
deadline were with Montreal
last season.

The group includes pit-
chers Dennis Martinez, Bryn
Smith, Bob McClure and
Charlie Lea; outfielder Reid
Nichols, infielder Vance Law
and utility man Dave Engle.

Stoneman said he isn't
surprised at the number of
Expos who became free
agents; they were just taking
advantage of negotiating op-
tions.

“It's really something that
players in that position have
to do,” Stoneman said. “If a
guy didn't file, a club could
have been within the guide-
lines by offering him a con-
tract at 80 per cent of last
year’s value and he'd either
have to take it or leave it.”

In the third period, both

Montreal finished 0-for-6

This Friday end’ one of the worst years for people

It is the third Friday the 13th this year. The other

There are different theories about the origin of the
