-The Top Stories from this week in hockey Eric Staal recorded his fifth career hat trick in a 5-2 win over the Coyotes on Friday. The goals broke an eight game scoring drought for the eldest Staal. Things keep getting worse for the struggling Dallas Stars as team captain Brenden Morrow tore his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) last Thursday against Chicago. The injury will cost Morrow the rest of the season, which could mean the Stars season could be in jeopardy as well. Chicago GM, Dale Tallon, has denied rumors of trading for Michael Nylander. It was rumored that Nylander would be sent to Chicago in exchange for Dustin Byfuglien and Brent Sopel. The trade would make sense for the Hawks, as they are in need of a veteran center. The Chicago Blackhawks are tops in the league in attendance, averaging 21,485 a game. It was just two years ago that the Blackhawks were second to last in attendance, averaging a pathetic 12,727 per contest. It?s amazing what young talent and the hosting the Winter Classic can do for a franchise. The New York Islanders are dead last this season, averaging just 13,102 a game. Speaking of the Winter Classic, tickets for the New Years Day contest are selling on EBAY for $500.00-$2,000.00 per seat. Best fight so far this year- Milan Lucic vs. Mike Komisarek. Lucic dominated this bare knuckle match-up, beating Komisarek so badly that he will be out until at least Christmas with an upper body injury. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjZbNtzsQFY Keep an eye on Oilers' netminder Jeff Drouin-Deslauriers. The 2nd round pick in 2002 has played exceptionally well so far this season. His play may force the Oilers to deal either veteran Dwayne Roloson or Mathieu Garon. Patrick Roy had his No. 33 retired by the Canadiens on Saturday night, making him only the sixth player to have his number retired by two NHL teams. The other players to share this honor are Bobby Hall, Gordie Howe, Wayne Gretzky, Ray Bourque, and Mark Messier. Top Selling player Jersey?s according to NHL.com 1.
