What do you need to know about last nights big stories? Pierre LeBrun gives us his take on the biggest and best.Stars struck: Could this be a turning point for the Dallas Stars? The gutsy decision by coach Lindy Ruff to scratch top defenseman John Klingberg on Monday after the Swedish star was late for a team meeting seemed to send a message through the entire Stars lineup. They looked energized and on a mission in a 3-2 OT win against the visiting Minnesota Wild on Monday night, captain Jamie Benn wiring one top shelf for the winner, their first OT win this season. The Stars have been hit hard by injuries since Day 1 of camp but that doesnt excuse the poor play by healthy players, and Klingberg is among those who needs to be better. I suspect he will be, after he gets back in the lineup. But the message from Ruff was crystal clear: enough already. This is a team thats better than this. We might look back later in the season and point to Nov. 21 being a moment to remember for the Stars.Rangers rally: Talk about a statement game by the New York Rangers on Monday night. The Blueshirts fell behind 2-0 on a pair of goals from Pittsburgh Penguins rookie call-up Jake Guentzel (loved his familys reaction to Jakes first goal on his first NHL shot). But, in their second game in two nights, the Rangers stormed back with three second-period goals en route to a 5-2 win in front of backup goalie Antti Raanta, with New York playing on back-to-back nights. The guy at the heart of it all was captain Ryan McDonagh, who was an absolute beast at both ends, his presence hovering during the entire game. He had two assists and was plus-5. You know, I didnt think McDonagh had the best of seasons last year, but just like his team this season, he has come back and played some of the best hockey of his career. Be excited if youre a Rangers fan. The Rangers and Penguins meet again Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden.Crease conundrum for Calgary: Safe to bet well see Chad Johnson in goal for the Calgary Flames when they face the Columbus Blue Jackets in Columbus on Wednesday. Playing on back-to-back nights, I dont blame Flames head coach Glen Gulutzan for starting Brian Elliott in Buffalo on Monday night,?but the 4-2 loss wont help the former St. Louis Blues No. 1 find his way back into the good graces of his bench boss. The Flames, one of the leagues bigger disappointments, found a bit of mojo with Johnson in net last week, including Sundays win against the Detroit Red Wings. So, Id be shocked if Gulutzan didnt go back to Johnson as the Flames try to navigate their way through this six-game road trip and not find themselves in too deep a hole when they return home. Trading for Elliott in June was one of my favorite moves because I thought it was just what Calgary needed. Who knows, the season is still young for Elliott. But hes got three wins in 12 starts this season -- thats the bottom line. Makes you wonder if Calgary shouldnt have given in to Ben Bishops contract demands on an extension and instead made that trade with the Tampa Bay Lightning?at the draft. Easy to play armchair quarterback now, but it does make you think. Cheap Washington Redskins Jerseys .

Id be lying if I said it didnt...I feel the responsibility to do it right, because there are so many people that have worked so hard to put this program where it is.Lock completed 24 of 37 pass attempts for 450 yards, only 30 yards shy of the school record.He did some really good things tonight, Odom said of Lock. He is doing a great job of running our offense, and things are slowing down tremendously for him.

Johnathon Johnson caught five passes for 115 yards and a touchdown, and Emmanuel Hall had three catches for 90 yards.Their passing attack proved to be too strong, said Eastern Michigan coach Chris Creighton, who is now 4-22 in three seasons with the school. The long balls, and even just the quick game, would eat up yards. They did a really good job of that.We just got run by on some of those long balls, and some well-placed balls, and some speed and size at receiver that we just werent able to combat.On the final play of the first quarter, Johnson bobbled a high-arcing punt near midfield, but recovered and took it 54 yards for a touchdown. He finished with 210 all-purpose yards.It was scramble mode, Johnson said of the circus play. I had to pick it back up. I knew I had muffed it, so I was jusst trying to get it back up, and I just cut it across the field.ddddddddddddOdom said hes seen this type of playmaking ability from Johnson before.The things he did on the field tonight, he does in practice on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Its important to him that he is a total package player, having the ability to not only play out wide, but to return punts and block. He is only going to get better.Eastern Michigan quarterback Todd Porter was 23 of 45 for 287 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions. He also rushed 13 times for 46 yards and one touchdown.The Eagles (1-1) struggled offensively, especially in the first half.

That tempo slowed somewhat Saturday, as the Tigers ran 78 plays.
