On Monday when TSN was reporting on the NHL trade deadline it displayed a scrolling ticker of tweets from the public. In spite of TSN's protocols to prevent unfounded and inappropriate tweets from making it to air, a false, and inappropriate tweet was allowed to run. There was no basis for the false allegation made in this tweet. TSN unreservedly apologizes to Joffrey Lupul, Dion Phaneuf and Elisha Cuthbert and regrets any embarrassment this unfortunate incident has caused to them.

Charlie Coyle scored the winner in a shootout, Matt Dumba had two goals in regulation and the Minnesota Wild beat Andrew Hammond and the Senators 3-2 on Tuesday night to stop Ottawa's five-game winning streak.

Anze Kopitar and Trevor Lewis each had a goal and two assists as the Los Angeles Kings got a shot in the arm in their battle for a playoff position, defeating the Edmonton Oilers 5-2 on Tuesday. Matt Greene, Jeff Carter and Kyle Clifford also scored for the defending Stanley Cup champion Kings (30-21-12).
