- Mike Harrington: Quick list of points regarding Mikhail Grigorenko and Sabres: “As I said a couple days ago, the fact he “only played with McCormick and Scott” is a fallacy. Just not true. So that’s out the window. He has two goals, both in one game. He has shown zero in many games — and in practice, which you folks don’t see. Darcy and Lindy messed this all up last year, perhaps permanently. But putting him in the NHL right now is pointless. He’s not an NHL player. Yes, Leino/Stafford have done next to nothig. But $4M+ guys play. Period. For the 9,000th time, can’t buy Leino out until June.”
- Don Brennan: Senators Bobby Ryan should still see some time on the blueline during power plays even with Patrick Wiercioch returning.
- Lou Korac: The Blues have recalled Dmitrij Jaskin from the AHL.
- Vancouver Canucks: The Canucks send Darren Archibald to the AHL.
- Tony Marinaro: Kings scout Alyn McCauley was at the Canadiens game.
