What team beat-writers are saying this afternoon:
- Here is how the Thrashers lined up at practice today. No Bogosian for at least the next two games.
- A couple switches to the forward lines by Scott Gordon on the Island. This team has not looked good to start the season.
- Raffi Torres (shoulder) could make his season debut on Saturday for Columbus. A nice physical veteran presence.
- Jamie Langenbrunner (charley horse) is out tonight for New Jersey. Just a day-to-day injury.
- Bryan McCabe (back) hopes to return to the line-up next week. This defense corps has lots of injuries, so McCabe’s return would certainly help out.
- Tobias Stephan gets the start for the Stars tonight. Turco could use some time away from the net to regroup.
- Paul Gaustad (thumb) is slated to return to the Buffalo line-up tomorrow night. Adds a nice size element to the club.
