  2. David Clarkson is off to a great season start, as he already has 15 points, nearly half his totals from last season’s career high 32. Here he toe drags the puck around the Anaheim defenseman and beats Hiller to score for the redhot Devils. video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tNMHPT6G0CM

  3. Owen Nolan has scored many highlight reel goals in his long and very good career. Despite being knocked off his skates in this one, Nolan still manages to score against Tampa Bay keeper Antero Niitymakki. video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q08z6NnG22A
