04/01/2012 18:55 Hudler lifts Wings to SO win vs. Panthers
Jiri Hudler scored with 14:30 remaining in the third period and again in a shootout to help the Detroit Red Wings beat the Florida Panthers 2-1 on Sunday.
Samuelssons second season with the Canucks was viewed as somewhat of a disappointment, but the veteran winger still managed to reach the 50-point plateau for the second consecutive season. His 2010-11 postseason was cut short after suffering a sports hernia in the second round of the playoffs. He had surgery to repair the hernia and an abductor tendon in May, which should give him ample time to recover before the start of the season. At 35, Samuelsson is starting to get a little long in the tooth, but hes shown the ability to be a productive option in mid-to-deep sized leagues.
