Flames Get Good And Bad News
CALGARY—The Flames have just been given one of those good news, bad news deals. First the good news: Ulf Nilsson and Dave Hanson are back and made their presence felt in a 7-1 win over Winnipeg at the Saddledome. Nilsson, the team’s leading scorer last season, has been shelved with back spasms, but came back in goal-scoring form with a tally against the Jets. Hanson, a 6-foot-5, 210-pound defenseman who made the team with his impressive play in training camp but later suffered back spasms, also played against the Jets and delivered a physical performance. That’s the good news; the bad news is that versatile winger Jamie Hislop, who tore the medial collateral ligament in his left knee in a collision with Detroit’s Brad Park, will miss a minimum of three weeks.…
Muller Staying Put With The Platers
Kirk Muller of the Guelph Platers will stay with his junior team and not play for Canada in the Winter Olympics next February. Canadian Amateur Hockey Association president Murray Costello of Ottawa and Ontario Hockey League commissioner Dave Branch of Toronto confirmed on Oct. 25 that the Olympic team will stop recruiting junior players and will bolster the club with up to five “amateurs” from the American and Central Hockey Leagues.

Muller’s agent, Gus Badali, said his client will not challenge the ruling. “Kirk’s disappointed a certain amount, but…

Jensen Comes Through With His Team Promise
LANDOVER—After the Washington Capitals ended their seven-game losing streak with a 4-1 victory over Philadelphia, goaltender Al Jensen promised it was just the start of an upward surge. “Our record doesn’t show our team’s caliber,” Jensen said. “You’ll see the difference in the standings in a few weeks. Oh and seven is past. You forget it and go from there.” To show that these were not just empty words, Jensen went out in the club’s next two games and turned in back-to-back shutouts on the road, stopping 26 shots in Pittsburgh and 18 in New Jersey. In the process, the Capitals turned themselves completely around after that dreadful start. Where the team had been pressing, worrying about mistakes, playing as individuals, suddenly this was the Washington club of a year ago, which at…
