  Excellent point by Mabus below - Kaberle was a star defenseman until Phaneuf arrived. Then he hit a wall. He's been only average since. Perhaps with Phaneuf out, Kaberle will return to his 60-point ways.   Martin Hanzal will return to action tonight.   Phaneuf's leg laceration is so deep that he will miss [...]
