On the Beat: The key to shutting down the Penguins

What team beat writers are saying this afternoon:

• “I’m very disappointed in our group,” said Ducks coach Randy Carlyle after last night’s loss to Washington.
• Apparently Erik Christensen knows the key to shutting down the Penguins.  Gee, I wish I would have thought of that!
• Here are the Blue Jackets’ lines from practice today.  Rick Nash is starting to get hot.
• New lines for the Habs at practice today.  Kovalev off the Koivu line.
• Scott Clemmensen gets the start for the Devils tonight versus Florida.  This was suspected earlier this week.
• Mike Green was in a sling after last night’s game at Anaheim.  We are awaiting word on the seriousness of the injury.  The Caps can’t afford to lose him.
• Here are the line combinations from Lightning practice.  I can no longer keep track of this team’s lines.
