The Stars can't continue to get outshot by a 2-1 margin every night and expect to win a lot of games. Marty Turco stood on his head and bailed them out Monday night against the Capitals, but no such luck Wednesday in Buffalo. Not there was a lot that Turco could do tonight. He played extremely

Well, we had the score right, but we did not think it would take an overtime to do it. The Caps needed that extra frame to secure a 4-3 win over the Carolina Hurricanes at Verizon Center. It was Tomas Fleischmann doing the deed at the 3:20 mark of the overtime, taking a feed from Eric Belanger
