What beat writers are saying early this afternoon:
- Hurricanes GM Jim Rutherford is a tad concerned with his team’s play so far this season. He has reason to be, as this team is currently headed in the wrong direction.
- The importance of Sergei Zubov and Jere Lehtinen to the Stars’ cause can’t be understated. Couldn’t agree more.
- Owen Nolan has been activated off injured reserve by the Wild. The team needs goal scoring so the veteran should help in that regard.
- Are Habs fans stuffing the All-Star ballot box? Here are some comments from blogspot that seem to have spurred on certain fans to stuff the box. (Hat tip to reader Charles for the information)
- Capitals netminder Brent Johnson’s injury wasn’t serious last night.
