What team beat writers are saying this afternoon:
- The Ducks have to make sure they don’t overlook the Thrashers on Sunday. Hard not to overlook them, as they are that bad.
- The Flames have the day off in Phoenix today. Keenan giving the troops some rest time.
- Steve Mason is expected to be activated off IR today. Good news for Jackets fans and fans of the NHL in general.
- Here are the Stars’ options with Sean Avery. Option two seems most likely.
- The Habs have recalled Kyle Chipchura. He’s the answer!
- Steve Sullivan is showing good progress in Nashville. He is going to be an important part of any playoff push in Tennessee.
- Jay Pandolfo will sit be a healthy scratch again for the Devils. This is becoming the norm in Jersey.
- James Gordon wonders why Mike Fisher has struggled this season? Why has the whole team struggled?
- Are the Penguins interested in Martin St. Louis? They should be.
- The Capitals expect Alexander Semin back in the lineup this weekend. The injury was undisclosed.
