NEW YORK _ Vancouver Canucks centre Cody Hodgson has been named the NHL's rookie of the month for January. The 21-year-old led all rookies in scoring with 10 points (six goals, four assists) in 11 games. Hodgson edged Philadelphia Flyers forwards Sean Couturier and Matt Read, Ottawa Senators forward Colin Greening, Chicago Blackhawks forward Andrew Shaw and Nashville Predators defenceman Ryan Ellis. Hodgson delivered clutch performances against Vancouver's fiercest rivals last month, scoring the game-winning goals in victories over the Boston Bruins and the San Jose Sharks. He closed the month by adding the game-tying goal Tuesday on a breakaway in the third period of what ended as a 3-2 overtime victory against the Chicago Blackhawks.

Canucks 3 Hawks 2 (OT)
Cory Schneider was the story in this game, turning aside 37 of 39 shots as the Canucks overcame a sloppy second period to defeat the Chicago Black Hawks 3-2 in overtime.
Schneider had to compensate for a team in front of him that after the first five minutes of the game, lost their skating legs until early in the third. The young net minder made 15 saves in a one sided second period as the Black Hawks came in waves.
Schneider’s best save was on former Canucks forward Brendan Morrison, making his debut in Hawks colours. Morrison picked up a loose puck after a Schneider miscue behind the goal and then shook off Aaron Rome to find himself all alone looking at an open net. Morrison fired a shot but Schneider managed to throw his arm in front of the shot as he dove back into his goal.

VANCOUVER _ The Vancouver Whitecaps have acquired Sebastien Le Toux and the French midfielder doesn't seem very happy about it. Le Toux tweeted: ``Just got traded to Vancouver! Saddest day for me in my Philadelphia Union story.... Still can't believe it.'' The Union received allocation money in the deal. The Frenchman had just one goal for Seattle in his 2009 debut season in Major League Soccer but found his form in Philadelphia, scoring 25 goals over the last two years. ``Sebastien is a proven goalscorer and playmaker in Major League Soccer,'' Whitecaps coach Martin Rennie said Tuesday in a release. ``He is a durable, fit, and speedy attacker, who is capable of playing either up front or wide in midfield. ``We're delighted to bring Sebastien back to the Pacific Northwest and add another quality player to our squad.'' Le Toux, 28, sounded a little more ...

OTTAWA _ Former Ottawa Senators Marian Hossa and Zdeno Chara scored 16 seconds apart in a six-goal third period as the Team Chara downed the crowd favourite Team Alfredsson 12-9 in the NHL all-star game on Sunday. Team Chara lost the lead four times only to pile up an insurmountable lead in the third with goals from Phil Kessel, Jarome Iginla, Corey Perry and the second of the game by Joffrey Lupul. Tim Thomas, who caused an uproar when he refused to join his Boston teammates on a trip to meet President Barack Obama at the White House, was the winning goaltender as he allowed a mere three goals in the third to Milan Michalek, Claude Giroux and Daniel Sedin. The teams entered the third period tied 6-6 Alfredsson scored twice, while Jason Spezza, Henrik Sedin, John Tavares Jason Pominville also scored for Team Alfredsson. ...
