Ty Conklin recorded 24 saves for his sixth shut-out of the season as the Detroit Red Wings beat the Pittsburgh Penguins 3-0 on Sunday to maintain their fine form. Pavel Datsyuk scored twice and former Penguin Marian Hossa added his 30th goal of the campaign for the Red Wings, who got the better of the Penguins in six games in last year's Stanley Cup finals. Niklas Backstrom turned aside 28 shots in normal time and stopped all four attempts in the shoot-out to help the Minnesota Wild to a 3-2 win over the Edmonton Oilers. Mikko Koivu scored the decisive goal for the Wild.

Brad Richards recorded a goal and an assist as the Dallas Stars posted a 4-1 triumph over the Nashville Predators. Brian Sutherby, Mark Parrish and Steve Ott also were on target. Jeff Carter recorded two goals and an assist as Antero Niittymaki and the Philadelphia Flyers once again got the better of the Atlanta Thrashers with a 3-2 victory. Niittymaki made 29 saves to lead the Flyers to their 13th consecutive success over the Thrashers.

The National photo project

Chris Whiteoak, a photographer at The National, spent months taking some of Jacqui Allan's props around the UAE, positioning them perfectly in front of some of the country's most recognisable landmarks. He placed a pirate on Kite Beach, in front of the Burj Al Arab, the Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland at the Burj Khalifa, and brought one of Allan's snails (Freddie, which represents her grandfather) to the Dubai Frame. In Abu Dhabi, a dinosaur went to Al Ain's Jebel Hafeet. And a flamingo was taken all the way to the Hatta Mountains. This special project suitably brings to life the quirky nature of Allan's prop shop (and Allan herself!).
