Penguins

-Dave Molinari's recap from last night's game. So much for Sergei Gonchar being a cure-all.

-The Associated Press' recap. Evgeni Malkin was pretty dejected after last night's game.

-The Globe and Mail's recap. Jason Blake and Dominic Moore ripped the Penguins up.

-The Toronto Star's recap. Remember when the Penguins were in the playoff race?

-It wasn't all bad for the Penguins. Here's the dazzling save Marc-Andre Fleury made against Blake last night:

-Fleury couldn't stop Blake on these two efforts however:

-Sergei Gonchar's calendar is about five months behind his teammates'.

-Eric Godard loves his YouTube.

-Sidney Crosby is not quotable.

-John Curry made 20 saves and led the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins to a 3-2 win against the Hamilton Bulldogs. The Penguins have a seven-game winning streak.

-Bryan Ewing scored both of the Wheeling Nailers' goals in a 4-2 loss at Dayton.

-Oshawa Generals forward James DeLory was suspended 12 games for an attack on Kingston Frontenacs forward Nathan Moon, a Penguins prospect. If this were the NHL, DeLory would be given a stern warning.

-Noted Penguins fan and Steelers kicker Jeff Reed is not a fan of towel dispensers in Westmoreland County.

Atlantic Division

-Just in time for the Flyers, the Islanders recalled goon Mitch Fritz from Bridgeport of the AHL.

-The Flyers recalled goaltender Scott Munroe from their AHL puppy-drowning affiliate.

-What do the Devils do with goaltenders Scott Clemmensen and Kevin Weekes when Martin Brodeur comes back from his arm injury?

-Development around the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J. has been slow.

Northeast Division

-New coach Cory Clouston has sparked the Senators. Daniel Alfredsson had a goal and two assists for Ottawa in a 5-3 win at Minnesota. Teammates Dany Heatley and Antoine Vermette each had a goal and an assist. It was the Senators fourth consecutive win. They have gone 4-1-1 since Clouston took over. Owen Nolan led the Wild with two goals and an assist.

-Senators defenseman Brian Lee had a happy homecoming.

-The good feelings over the Canadiens' 100th anniversary season are begining to turn sour.

Southeast Division

-Mike Green (right, No. 52, with Shaone Morrisonn) set an NHL record for defensemen with a goal in his eighth consecutive game and helped the Capitals win, 5-1, at Tampa Bay. Alexander Semin led Washington with a goal and two assists while Nicklas Backstrom added two assists. Goaltender Michal Neuvirth made 31 saves and earned a win in his first NHL start. Former Penguin Ryan Malone scored the Lightning's only goal. Fire Ray Shero.

-Lightning defenseman Marek Malik suffered a "lower body" injury last night.

-The Hurricanes demoted defenseman Bryan Rodney to Albany of the AHL and put defenseman Frantisek Kaberle on waivers.

-The Capitals are a new trendy thing in Washington.

-The Panthers are worrying about the Penguins or anyone else chasing them in the playoff chase. They're only looking ahead.
