What team beat writers are saying this afternoon:
- Scott Walker (hand) could return to the Hurricanes line-up this week. The team misses his grit and leadership.
- R.J. Umberger has been moved back to the top line in Columbus. These lines change almost daiiy.
- Mike Modano is very angry with the way his teammates have been acting on the ice. You have to respect what Modano is saying; he is a Stanley Cup champion for a reason.
- The Devils will be without Paul Martin tonight due to “upper body soreness”. The Devils are without Brodeur, Martin and Greene. Ouch.
- Alexander Ovechkin talks about seeing his grandfather. We wish his grandfather the best of health.
