What team beat writers are saying this afternoon:
- Marty Reasoner has found himself back on a line with Ilya Kovalchuk. Beats playing on the 4th line in Edmonton, eh?
- Glen Murray’s grievance hearing against the Bruins has been postponed until the new year. Shouldn’t change anything.
- Sabres rookie Nathan Gerbe may be out as many as seven games with an upper-body injury. He is an impressive young player, who people outside Buffalo will get to know really soon.
- Columbus winger Derek Dorsett has been cleared to play. He will probably suit up tomorrow.
- The Devils have activated Andy Greene off IR. The Devils continue to get healthier.
- It looks like the Panthers are finally getting healthy. Amazing they have played so well without arguably their three top offensive players.
- Is Brent Burns moving back to defense? That’s where he belongs in my opinion.
- Here are the Capitals’ lines for tonight’s game against the Islanders. Brent Johnson returns between the pipes.
