Notes:

Referee struck by puck: NHL referee Kelly Sutherland did not return after a deflected shot struck him in the face early in the first period in Buffalo.

Sutherland never went down, but held his face in pain as play was stopped. He did not appear to be cut. The game resumed with one referee and two linesmen.

NHL doles out fines: New Jersey Devils forward Eric Boulton and Columbus Blue Jackets forward Jared Boll were fined $2,500 by the NHL on Wednesday.

Boulton slashed New York Rangers forward Mike Rupp on Tuesday. Boll delivered an illegal check to the head of Sharks forward Joe Thornton.
