Here are the Southeast Division morning papers:
- Last night’s 3-2 loss to the Panthers may have been Johan Hedberg’s final start for the Thrashers, writes Craig Custance. On the scouting front, Thrashers GM Don Waddell has been impressed with UND prospect Andrew Kozek who was the team’s second round pick in 2005.
- The Hurricanes saw their lead evaporate in the Southeast Division last night as they lost 4-1 at Washington; however, the team still controls its own destiny, writes Luke Decock. Justin Williams’ return to the line up lasted less than a period, as the feisty winger threw out his back in the first period.
- The Capitals recorded a huge victory on Tuesday, in what was arguably the team’s most important game in five years. Meanwhile, Mike Wise of the Washington Post has high praise for Alexander Ovechkin & Co.
- Lightning President Ron Campbell defended Jay Feaster in response to his last place rankings in the Hockey News’ GM rankings.
- Most of the Panthers may be planning their respective tee times, but not Craig Anderson, writes Steve Gorten. In sad news, it appears Chad Kilger is considering retirement.
