On the Beat: This and that

What team beat writers are saying late this morning:

• George Parros made sure to hold Jared Boll accountable for the way he played last night. That’s why you have enforcers in the line-up.
• Goaltender Kari Lehtonen is back at practice for Atlanta today.  Good news for the Thrashers, as Lehtonen could help turn around the team’s recent fortunes.
• Marty Turco is a trooper.  Nice to see a player of Turco’s stature give back to the fans.
• Here are the Devils’ lines from practice this morning.  This team is starting to look more like the team Lou Lamoriello envisioned at the beginning of the season.
• Michael Russo with more on the agent controversy story he broke this morning in the Star Tribune.  Fascinating read.
• Here are the Bruins’ expected lines for tonight’s game.  They have been absolutely tremendous defensively this season.
• Here is the latest on the rumors that the Sabres are for sale.  Really doesn’t seem to be as big a deal as people are making it out to be.
