WEEK 21 (thru Monday)

With Ben Bishop regulated to backup duty is Los Angeles, the first place Ice Hogs called upon substitute netminder Kari Lehtonen to hold down the fort. The 33-year-old sub was all that and a bag of chips on Monday, a brilliant 42 save win placing his under-fire team 13.6 points in front of the Wild Ducks.

Ice Hogs: 6.2
SC Cobras: 0.0
Needing a win to stay playoff worthy, the SC Cobras were pointless on Monday evening, the Ice Hogs bolting to a 6.2 point lead.

Wild Ducks: 3.0
Misconducts: 8.0
Joe Pavelski (2g) has his team pointed in the right direction, the Misconducts already 5.0 points better than the Wild Ducks.

Central Red Army: 6.7
Silicon Valley Slashers: 2.0­
Healthy again, the Central Red Army have high hopes for Week 21, GM Buker's squadron leading the disengaged Silicon Valley Slashers by 4.7 points.

Bluliners: 4.5
Between the Pipes: 10.1­
Much to the dismay of the win-needy Bluliners, their H2H opponent was the best Monday team, Between the Pipes unexpectedly jumping to a 5.6 point lead.

Ice Cats: 1.0
Badger Bob: 1.0
If Badger Bob wins they'll move past the Ice Cats in the heated race for a seat in the H2H playoffs. All the money is on Badger Bob because 1) the team is hot, and 2) the Ice Cats still have Peter Budaj and Mike Condon parked in front of their goal.

Boulder Flyers: 4.4
Polar Bears: 1.0
The two worst H2H teams are doing battle in a powderpuff version of professional hockey, the 5-15 Boulder Flyers so far leading the 5-15 Polar Bears by 3.4 points.
