<li> Bobby Robins brought the scrappiness, Justin Florek banged in a greasy goal, and Chris Kelly sniped the second. Alexander Khokhlachev , David Warsofsky, and finally Carter Camper finished the shootout in the eighth round (take THAT, OV8!) Niklas Svedberg had himself a night- stuffed an Alex Ovechkin breakaway, turned away a penalty shot, and then handled the shootout.
