On the Beat: Pominville promoted to top line in Buffalo

What team beat writers are saying this afternoon:

• Patrice Bergeron was not at Bruins practice today.  Don’t expect him back for a while.
• Scott Clemmnesen is expected to start tonight for the Devils versus Pittsburgh.  Why mess with a good thing?
• Seth Rorabaugh of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette provides Pens fans with all they need to know about the Devils.  The Devils continue to improve.
• Jose Theodore gets the start tonight for Washington.  Never know what you’ll get with Jose.
• In an effort to get Jason Pominville going, he has been moved to the Sabres’ top line with Thomas Vanek and Derek Roy.  That is a powerhouse line right there.
