Penguins
-It might be a tad premature to preorder that Bill Guerin Penguins jersey.
-Sidney Crosby sure likes those backhanders.
-Michel Therrien ain't going anywhere soon.
-The NHL is still reviewing Tyler Kennedy's fight with Toronto's Luke Schenn Saturday.
-Sidney Crosby needs his knees:
Atlantic Division
-The Rangers recalled forward Artem Anisimov from Hartford of the AHL.
-Whenever he returns, Martin Brodeur is the Devils No. 1 everday goaltender right?
-Leave it to a columnist from a Philadelphia paper to get upset over NHL officials actually calling penalties.
Northeast Division
-Tim Thomas made 27 saves and led the Bruins to a 3-1 win at Montreal. Montreal, which plays the Penguins tomorrow, lost former Penguins forward Robert Lang in the third period due to an Achilles tendon injury. He scored the Habs' only goal. Montreal forward Guillaume Latendresse to an apparent shoulder injury.
-Pat Hickey of the Montreal Gazette suggested Lang's season, or even his career, could be finished due to the injury.
-Check out the crazy throwback uniforms Lang (below, with Alex Kovalev) and the Canadiens wore yesterday:
-Montreal recalled defenseman Alex Henry from Hamilton of the AHL.
-For some reason, we suspect Bruins announcer Jack Edwards isn't a big fan of Henry:
(Kudos to Kuklas Korner for the heads up.)
-The Habs need Alex Kovalev to get it together.
-Bruins goon Shawn Thornton has a career-high five goals.
-A neck injury has prevented Bruins forward Patrick Kaleta from being physical.
-Maple Leafs defenseman Mike Van Ryn is trying to shed his reputation of being injury prone.

Southeast Division
-Alex Ovechkin's seventh career hat trick led the Capitals to a 7-4 rout of the Senators. Teammate Mike Green added a goal and three assists while Nicklas Backstrom had a goal and two assists. Daniel Alfredsson led Ottawa with two goals.
-Because Washington had seven goals, Capitals fans can get a Papa John's pizza with 14 toppings on them for just $9.99. Are there even 14 toppings for pizza? Are there even 14 Capitals fans?
-Stop us if this sounds familiar. Panthers coach Pete DeBoer said his team was "too fancy" in a recent loss.
-Former Penguins forward Mark Recchi has a been a pleasant surprise for the Lightning. Fire Ray Shero.
-Capitals fans rooting for the Steelers?
