Magic 102, Nets 92: Vince Carter, Richard Jefferson and Marcus Williams all tried, but they couldn't outshine Orlando's Hedo Turkoglu. He went off for 17 points in the fourth quarter, the Nets allowed Superman Dwight Howard his 50th double-double, and that was that. New Jersey is now 2-2 since they traded Jason Kidd. They'll be hard pressed to maintain their .500 record the rest of the way.
Charlotte 105 Knicks 95: Surprise, surprise, the Knicks lost to an inferior team. Then again, Charlotte actually has more wins than New York. Whatever the reason, Friday night’s loss was all too familiar to Knicks’ fans. They didn’t play defense and committed 17 turnovers in the losing effort.
Sabres 2, Islanders 1: If only they had committed five penalties. A late third-period goal came as the Sabres' sixth power play expired, and the Islanders dropped one at home. This was the second bit of bad news for the Isles, who saw serial assaulter enforcer Chris Simon suspended for 30 games for stepping on an opponent's ankle.
Senators 3, Rangers 1: The Rangers are still working on that back-to-back thing. They gave up three goals in 52 seconds in an ugly reversal of their opening-night win. Other than that, the game went fine.
In other local hockey news, Chris Simon received a 25-game suspension from the NHL on Sunday for his stick-to-face hit on Ryan Hollweg. If the Islanders play more than 25 games between the regular season and the playoffs, Simon won't be on the ice. If they play fewer, he'll sit out the balance next season before returning. Seems just -- that hit was unnecessary and unprovoked.

For his actions in last night's Rangers-Islanders game, Islanders forward Chris Simon was suspended indefinitely today by the NHL. In the 3rd period of the game, a Rangers victory, Simon was checked cleanly into the boards by Hollweg. After recovering, Simon used his stick on Hollweg to retaliate - hitting Hollweg on the chin and knocking the Rangers center to the ice. After the hit, Hollweg laid motionless on the ice. He would later receive stitches and is expected to play tomorrow.

The Islanders controlled the game for most of the first two periods and took a 1-0 lead off of a goal by Simon. But, the Rangers rallied and the newest Ranger, Paul Mara, scored off of the power play to tie the game at one.
