Hot hand is more appropriate.
Joseph's third shutout of the playoffs and 12th of his career came after days of speculation about his right hand. Joseph, who would not talk about his hand in recent days, just smiled when asked if it was safe to say that his hand didn't bother him. He got hurt in the last minute of the second period and informed coach Ivan Hlinka of the injury in the second intermission. With the teams skating four a side, Jagr drew all four Sabres to the left boards. He spun around and fed a perfect pass to Lemieux, who was wide open at the blue line and blasted a 30-footer past Dominik Hasek.
