Avs Nip New Jersey – NHL Roundup For Feb. 4th

UNDATED (AP) — Justin Abdelkader (AB'-dul-kay-dur) scored early in the second period and again in the final seconds to give the Detroit Red Wings a rare combined shutout, 2-0 over Vancouver. Jimmy Howard finished off a shutout that Jonas (YOH'-nahs) Gustavsson started.

DETROIT (AP) — An apologetic Vancouver Canucks coach John Tortorella has returned from his 15-day suspension. Tortorella was behind Vancouver's bench for Monday night's 2-0 loss to the Detroit Red Wings.

He was punished without pay for his conduct after a brawl in a game against the Calgary Flames. Tortorella went to Calgary's locker room following the first period, which began with several fights.

"I apologize first and foremost to the players for the situation I put them in, to the organization for my stupidity, to the league," Tortorella told reporters after the team's morning skate. "It's been embarrassing and not just for me, but for everyone around me."

NHL senior executive vice president of hockey operations Colin Campbell said Tortorella's actions were "dangerous and an embarrassment to the league."

During the suspension that lasted six games, Tortorella wasn't allowed to interact with the Canucks before, during or after games.
