PAT JABLONSKI Born: June 20, 1967, Toledo, OH. Height: 6-feet. Weight: 175 pounds. Position: Goaltender. Team: St. Louis Blues. Acquired: St. Louis’ sixth choice, 138th overall, in 1985 entry draft. Career highlight: “My first NHL win Feb. 26 against Chicago. I didn’t start the game, but I played all but two minutes. We were going for first overall in the NHL, and it was great to be a part of it.” Boyhood heroes: “Glenn Resch. I was a big (New York) Islander fan and the first autograph I ever got was his. One of the coaches from one of the teams in Toledo knew Resch really well, so he told him about me. It was great when he sent me a copy.” On playing goaltender: “Sometimes I screw around a bit in practise and…
MOOG BRUIN A SECRET FORMULA
Andy Moog has a secret formula. He’s the only NHL goalie who ranks in the top 10 of both the hot seat and eamed-goal average categories. The Boston Bruin goalie jumped from fifth to third the past week in the hot seat department—which looks at how often a goalie allows a power-play goal. Moog’s 11 minutes, 37 seconds average is behind Washington’s Don Beaupre (17:53) and Pittsburgh’s Frank Pietrangelo (14:07). The NHL average is 8:36. TEAMS POWER PLAY / PENALTY KILLING TIME FRAME GAMES PLAYED THROUGH 3/10/91 POWER PLAY EGA LEADERS Moog is ninth with an EGA average of 2:54. The EGA is goals-against average not including power-play goals allowed. Chicago’s Ed Belfour leads with an average of 1.73. The NHL average is 2.85. The New York Rangers continue to lead scoring a power-play goal every 6:51 of opportunity.…
FARWELL. PEDERSON IN MEDICINE HAT REUNION
It may have been the first time Mark Pederson was happy about the prospect of missing a flight. Pederson didn’t actually miss the airplane that took the Montreal Canadiens from Calgary to Chicago March 5. He was told to stay behind and wait for his new team, the Philadelphia Flyers, to hit town. Pederson was sent to the Flyers moments before the Canadiens’ flight was to leave and the trade deadline expired. In exchange, the Flyers gave up a second-round 1991 draft pick and future considerations. The 23-year-old left winger, Montreal’s first-round pick (15th overall) in 1986, decided to relax at his sister’s house in Calgary until the Flyers arrived two nights later. Since things had not been too upbeat for Pederson this season, he welcomed the change. “I’m pretty happy, actually,” Pederson said. “Things…
YOUNG CLEARED TO JOIN WOLVES IN PLAYOFFS
Jason Young’s season-long suspension comes to an end when the Sudbury Wolves’ playoff season begins. The Ontario League reinstated the 18-year-old left winger following an appeal hearing March 4. Young was suspended for the rest of the season for hitting Ottawa 67’s defenseman Grant Marshall from behind into the boards Dec. 4. Marshall broke his neck and can’t play again until September. “There was no reason to keep him suspended for the playoffs,” Wolves’ director of operations Sam McMaster said. “We thought the suspension was too severe in the first place, but we accepted it. We’re pleased with the ruling.” OHL commissioner Dave Branch said reinstating Young was a sensitive issue because of the nature of the penalty. “We have taken measures to hopefully eliminate this particular ‘act’ from the game,” Branch said. “Jason…
