Stanfield (15), Esposito's (18) game winner, and Shack (8) all get on the board for the


There is also a change at the summit of the West Division as St Louis win for the first time in four games to move to the top of their conference. Crisp (5), W Rivers's (3) game winner and Ecclestone (5) get it done at their end while Hall only concedes a single goal against Chicago; R Hull (21) scoring unassisted at 19:58 of the second period for the Blackhawks' second loss in eight.


The Flyers lose their place at the top of the West thanks to a third loss in a row, their fourth in the last five games. Dornhoefer (11) scored twice and added an assist and Angotti (8) had a two point night as Philadelphia fell short in Oakland. The Seals enjoy a second win in five games, but this is just their fourth victory in their last twenty outings. B Harris (12) scored twice, including his teams one-hundredth goal of the season as the game winner, with Swarbrick (8) and another pair from Boyer (6) grabbing the other scores.
