2mins Player of the day:
- Tobias Stephan (G – Stars) earns our player of the day for his win over the Minnesota Wild. Stephan played in only his 2nd ever NHL game. His last game, almost a year ago was on the road in Chicago, a game where he played solid but lost the game in overtime. A year is a long time to wait to prove you can play at this level, but Stephan did that today.
Stars of the day:
- Teemu Selanne (Ducks), got his game on with a hat trick against the Detroit Red Wings
- Tobias Stephan (Stars) made his NHL debut for 2008 with a 4-2 win over the Wild
- Ryan Getzlaf (Ducks) had 5 assists in the Ducks win over the Red Wings
- Matt Stajan (Maple Leafs) scored 2 goals in the Leafs shootout win over the Devils
- Pavel Datsyuk (Red Wings) scored a pair against the Ducks
…and there were none:
- Going into todays game the Wild had no suffered a regulation loss this season, the only team remaining to do so. Tobias Stephan and the Stars put and end to that with a solid 4-2 win over the travelling team.
Demoted:
- Jordan Staal has been demoted to the third line during Wednesday’s Penguins practice.
Trade Deadline moved:
- The NHL has announced that the Trade Deadline will be moved back to March 4. The change has been approved by both the NHL and the NHLPA.
oh, they’re hurt:
- Sergei Zubov (Stars) should be back in the Stars lineup this Saturday.
- Randy Jones (Flyers) could resume skating in 2 weeks and should be back on the team before Christmas.
- Jere Lehtinen (Stars) is rumored to begin skating again soon.
- Tim Connolly (Sabres) is unlikely to play this weekend with a back injury.
- Pascal Leclaire (Blue Jackets) is looking at a second opinion after his MRI revealed just a sprained ankle.
- Bryan McCabe (Panthers) began skating on his own Monday.
- Rick DiPietro (Islanders) will not be on the upcoming road trip.
He shoots… the scores:
- Toronto Maple Leafs 6 – 5 New Jersey Devils (shootout)
- Dallas Stars 4 – 2 Minnesota Wild
- Anaheim Ducks 5 – 4 Detroit Red Wings (overtime)

Top News Stories:
- Avangard Omsk returns to ice after Cherepanov death
The Avangard Omsk hockey team on Monday played its first Kontinental Hockey League game since the death of promising winger Alexei Cherepanov.
With Cherepanov’s parents in attendance, captain Alexander Svitov and alternates Anton Kuryanov and Alexander Popov skated with Cherepanov’s jersey No. 7 before it was raised to the rafters. An announcement was made that his No. 7 will never be worn again.
“It was tough on those three guys,” Omsk coach Wayne Fleming told TSN of Canada on Monday. “They didn’t have a lot of time to wipe their tears before the puck drop and away they went. And there was no warmup music at all. There was no talking among the players as both teams went about their warmup rituals and practice drills.”

- Avery returns to the Garden
Sean Avery hurried out of Madison Square Garden nearly as quickly as he left the New York Rangers as a free agent.
“I love you guys,” Avery said to a large throng of reporters in the
tight visitors dressing room, “but I have to go take my teammates out
to dinner.”
Avery made his presence felt upon his return to Manhattan after 1
1/2 seasons of being the resident Rangers pest. He didn’t show up on
the scoresheet Monday, but he walked out into the New York nightlife he
relishes after he and the Dallas Stars skated off with a 2-1 victory.

- TSN.CA reports the Detroit Red Wings have placed defenseman Kyle Quincey on waivers.
- COURIER POST ONLINE/PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER: reports Flyers defenseman Randy Jones is facing hip surgery which could sideline him for between six-eight weeks. With Ryan Parent also sidelined by injury GM Paul Holmgren is examining his options, which includes shopping for a veteran defenseman, which Holmgren suggests could cost him a forward. Holmgren also noted that he didn’t claim veteran blueliner Kyle McLaren off waivers as the Flyers have salary cap issues.
- PIONEER PRESS: John Shipley reports the contract impasse between the Minnesota Wild and Marian Gaborik officially becomes a distraction for the club when the puck drops on their season opener Saturday. Shipley reports the contract talks have stalled and the Gaborik camp is waiting for the Wild to reignite them.
- USA TODAY: Kevin Allen reports veteran NHL defenseman Bryan Berard is considering his options, which includes possibly signing with a team in Russia’s Kontinental Hockey League.
- EDMONTON JOURNAL: David Staples reports Pittsburgh Penguins forward Evgeni Malkin confirmed he rejected an $11 million contract offer from his former Russian team to re-sign with the Pittsburgh Penguins, telling them “I’m not (Alexander) Radulov”.
- MLIVE.COM: Ansar Khan reports Detroit Red Wings forward Darren McCarty is eligible to come off short term injury reserve in a week, leaving management with three options. One is demoting McCarty, trading defenseman Kyle Quincey or placing him on waivers.
- EAST VALLEY TRIBUNE: reports the Phoenix Coyotes have traded forward Mike Zigomanis to the Pittsburgh Penguins for future considerations.
- The San Jose Sharks have released forward Jeff Friesen.

Injury Updates:
- Predators’ Legwand out with swollen knee
Legwand was held out of practice Tuesday and likely won’t play in Thursday’s preseason game against the Hurricanes because of swelling in his knee, the Nashville Tennessean reports. (sports.yahoo.com)
- Flyers’ Downie leaves game
Philadelphia Flyers right wing Steve Downie left Wednesday’s 2-1 preseason victory over the Washington Capitals in the second period following a fight with Jay Beagle. The 21-year-old Downie suffered a left knee strain after falling to the ice. He did not return to the contest and is expected to undergo an MRI on Thursday. (sports.yahoo.com)
- Sykora back at Practice
Sykora (sore throat) returned to practice Wednesday after missing the first two workouts in Sweden, the Pens’ Web site reports. (sports.yahoo.com)
League Updates:
- IIHF says Predators’ Radulov wrong to sign with Russian club
Russian forward Alexander Radulov was wrong to sign with a club in his home country while under contract with the Nashville Predators, hockey’s world governing body ruled Wednesday. But the International Ice Hockey Federation said it had no legal basis to suspend him because there is no agreement in place to regulate international transfers. The ruling indicated Radulov had a binding agreement to serve the one year remaining on his Predators’ contract. (sports.yahoo.com)
- Moose Jaw Warriors’ Joel Broda is named CHL player of the week
Moose Jaw Warriors forward Joel Broda was named the CHL player of the week on Wednesday. Broda had five goals and six points in three games, all Warriors wins. He also had a plus-4 rating for the week. The 18-year-old from Prince Albert, Sask., was a fifth-round selection of the Washington Capitals this year. (sports.yahoo.com)
Signings & Acquisitions:
- Flyers sign Sbisa to entry-level contract
The Philadelphia Flyers announced that they have signed 6’2”, 190-pound defenseman Luca Sbisa to an entry-level contract, according to club General Manager Paul Holmgren. (nhl.com)
- Lightning acquire D Sersen from Penguins
The Tampa Bay Lightning on Wednesday acquired the rights to defenseman Michal Sersen from the Pittsburgh Penguins for a fifth-round selection in the 2009 draft. The 6-1, 200-pound Sersen recorded nine goals and nine assists in 54 games with Czech Extraliga Hockey League champion HC Slovan Bratislava last season. (sports.yahoo.com)

Trades & Rumours:
From Spectorshockey.net:
- Sources claim the Bruins have been active in the trade market for some time, “with some talk of a possible blockbuster deal involving top scorer Marc Savard – although the center has a no-trade contract and would have to agree to any swap.”
- Insiders claim the Chicago Blackhawks are now targetting Michael Nylander of the Washington Capitals, with sources claiming they’ve made two offers to the Capitals for him. There was also talk of the Vancouver Canucks having interest in Blackhawks winger Martin Havlat but the ‘Hawks don’t appear willing to move him and the Canucks want to see Havlat play a sustained period without injury.
- The Rangers have to make a decision on where winger Petr Prucha fits into their current roster or if he even fits in at all, noting that there isn’t much market value for Prucha at this time.
- Anaheim Ducks GM Brian Burke isn’t done making roster moves to free up more cap space despite clearing $1.25 million yesterday by dealing Sean O’Donnell to the LA Kings.
- The Blue Jackets have placed forward Mike York on waivers with the intent of demoting him to their minor league affiliate in Syracuse.
- Tough guy forward David Koci is likely to survive the club’s roster cuts especially with Nick Tarnasky’s recent trade to Nashville. Cristodero also reports Michel Ouellet cleared waivers but wasn’t immediately assigned to the minors, suggesting a possible trade might be afoot.
