What team beat writers are saying this afternoon:
- The Ducks are making sure they provide J.S. Giguere with the requisite time and space to get back to being himself. You have to feel for Giguere.
- The Bruins lines from practice today. So loaded up front.
- Both Steve Mason and Rusty Klelsa will be in the Columbus lineup tonight. The Jackets can ill-afford to lose Mason for a significant period of time.
- Mike Modano really likes James Neal and Chris Connor. The Stars are rolling right now and the team chemistry appears to be just one reason why.
- Dave Staples defends Dustin Penner. Has been defending him all season, so clearly MacT doesn’t read his blog.
- Rangers lines from practice this morning. Anisimov called up.
- Senators lines from practice today. Will anything change?
