• Buffalo 2 Rangers 1 (Shootout): You almost wonder if the Rangers should have Henrik Lundqvist in net every shootout. To be fair, that sells Stephen Valiquette short. Valiquette was wonderful in net stopping 33 shots, but Ryan Miller was better. Miller stopped 44 shots and sent the game to a shootout. And that’s where the Sabres scored and the Rangers didn’t, sending New York to their first shootout loss this season.
• Milwaukee 104 Nets 102: Bobby Simmons had a huge three-pointer to tie the game with time running out, but the Bucks weren’t done. Luke Ridnour scored as time ran out to give Milwaukee the win. Vince Carter had 23 points and 14 assists in the loss.

Sources say the New Jersey Nets will trade forward Richard Jefferson to the Milwaukee Bucks for Yi Jianlian and Bobby Simmons. ESPN says the Nets will be able to save $10 million longterm and continue to re-shape their team for the future--possibly with LeBron James in 2010. Further, the Chinese government will be thrilled Yi is in a big media market (that was China's grumble when Yi was drafted last year).
