Richter whitewash long overdue feat
The streak was almost unthinkable. The New York Rangers had gone 213 games, since Feb. 26, 1999, without a shutout in this era when shutouts are a dime a dozen. That ended, mercifully, when goalie Mike Richter beat the Carolina Hurricanes 5-0 on Nov. 29, ending his personal streak of 143 games without a shutout. “To be honest,” Richter said,”I didn’t know (how long) it was. I just knew it was a helluva long time.” Of course, much of the Rangers’ streak had to do with Richter’s two major knee injuries the last two seasons.

Deadmarsh first was struck in the ribs Oct. 2 in Carolina. When…
More NHL players seeing the light
NHL visor use is trending up-a welcome sight for too many sore eyes. A survey by The Hockey News has found 182 players on NHL rosters through Nov. 30 are wearing visors this season-about 28 per cent of all non-goalies. Last year the number was 24 per cent; in 1999-2000 it was 21 per cent. Colorado and Montreal each have a league-high 10 players wearing facial protection. Below is the number of visored players on each team in 19992000 and 2001-02. Team-by-Team Visor Count…
