On the Beat: Penguins interested in Martin St. Louis?

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.
