Rangers prospect dies during game in Russia
A Russian lawmaker said Tuesday that rising hockey star Alexei Cherepanov, a first-round draft pick of the New York Rangers, may have died due to negligence on the part of paramedics who responded to an emergency call.
Cherepanov, 19, died Monday during a Continental Hockey League game outside of Moscow.
Russian investigators said Cherepanov suffered from chronic ischemia, a medical condition in which not enough blood gets to the heart or other organs.

Injury Updates:
- Predators C Arnott leaves game
Nashville Predators center Jason Arnott left in the third period of Monday’s 3-2 shootout victory over the Chicago Blackhawks with a hand injury. Arnott, who recorded a shot on goal and logged 11:31 of ice time before exiting the contest, did not return. “He jammed his hand on one of our power plays and didn’t feel he could hold the stick,” said Nashville coach Barry Trotz, who did not specify which hand was injured. “So we took him out and he will be evaluated (on Tuesday). He is day-to-day, looks like just a jam, we don’t think there is any break.” The 34-year-old has two goals and two assists in three games this season. (Yahoo! Sports)

Trades & Rumours:
From spectorshockey.net (click to view the full report):
- NEW YORK POST: Larry Brooks reports a source claims Marian Gaborik is seeking a ten-year, $100 million contract from the Minnesota Wild. “Good luck to you, young man. Enjoy your time in Russia”, write Brooks.
- MINNEAPOLIS STAR-TRIBUNE: Michael Russo reports Gaborik could become “this season’s Marian Hossa”, suggesting the Wild could indeed trade the talented but injury-prone winger if they’re unable to reach an agreement on a new contract. One thing for sure: These Internet rumors that Gaborik wants to play in Edmonton are as laughable as Sean Avery jumping up and down in front of Martin Brodeur”, reports Russo.

(Yahoo! Sports)
League Updates:
- Sarah Palin drops first puck at Flyers’ home opener
To a mixture of boos and cheers, Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin dropped the ceremonial first puck Saturday night at the Philadelphia Flyers’ home opener against the New York Rangers. The Alaska governor and self-described “hockey mom” heard a few boos when she walked onto the ice, but that soon turned to polite applause as she headed to centre ice with Mike Richards of the Flyers and Scott Gomez - from Alaska - of the Rangers. (Yahoo! Sports)
- Devils play opener despite arena code dispute
The New Jersey Devils played their home opener as scheduled Friday night despite a construction code dispute that closed the Prudential Center down this summer. The team obtained a temporary certificate of occupancy to enable it to play the opener against the New York Islanders, and was closing in on a permanent solution. Devils owner Jeff Vanderbeek said the paperwork required for a permanent certificate was submitted to the City of Newark last week. “The city is reviewing those documents and we’re both close to getting it done,” Vanderbeek said in a telephone interview. “We could hear back from them as early as next week.” (Yahoo! Sports)
- Hull among four inducted into U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame
The Dallas Stars surely can forgive Brett Hull for missing the team’s 2008-09 season opener. The co-general manager of the Stars, Hull skipped the club’s first game of the campaign Friday in order to be one of four players inducted into the United States Hockey Hall of Fame. Also inducted during the ceremony at the Magness Arena were Brian Leetch, Mike Richter and Cammi Granato, who was the first woman to receive the honor. The addition of the quartet gives the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame 138 members. (Yahoo! Sports)
