You don't often see a coast-to-coast rush in the NHL anymore.
But Cody Hodgson had one on Monday in the first period against the Phoenix Coyotes, essentially zig-zagging his way around and through Martin Hanzal, Boyd Gordon, Radim Vrbata and Adrian Aucoin before turning Keith Yandle inside-out, only to have Jason LaBarbera make the save on his wrister…
