Joey MacDonald wants to take advantage of the time he gets in the NHL. MacDonald played his first NHL game since Nov. 1 on Friday night, making 22 of 25 saves in a 4-3 shootout win. It was his first win since Oct. 11. "It's just great to get another opportunity to come back again, with 15, 16 games left, to show I can still play in this league," he said. "A month ago I didn't think that was going to happen. I didn't know what was going to happen. When you're playing in the best league you get noticed. For me, if it's not going to be here, at least there are 29 other teams watching. When you go down to the American Hockey League there are scouts around, but it's not the same as being on TV every night and 30 scouts watching from different teams, different leagues."
