What team beat writers are saying this afternoon:
- Michael Ryder will return to the Bruins lineup tonight. Missed him more than some people may think.
- The Panthers have chosen to start Craig Anderson for tonight’s game. Vokoun has the flu.
- Lindy Ruff is asking his players to step up. This Miller injury could be the most significant injury in the NHL right now.
- It is official, Paul Stastny will return to the lineup tonight. Will help create a ton of offense.
- Toby Petersen will be out of the Stars lineup for a month. The injuries just keep on coming.
- Alex Tanguay is expected to return early next week. A bit of a setback for Tanguay.
- Sidney Crosby suffered a groin injury at practice. Still expected to be able to play tomorrow.
- There will be no tampering charges between the Bolts and Rangers. Things seemed to have worked out.
- Jose Theodore starts tonight for Washington. And this instill confidence in who exactly?
