It figures. Spezza owners finally get an 82-game season out of him and he posts his worst points-per-game numbers since his first full NHL season. That means that there has never been a better time to acquire the Ottawa pivot then right now and ditto for his superstar linemate Dany Heatley.
Datsyuk on one foot earned two assists last night and played nearly 18 minutes. He did not see any time at all shorthanded and he did not take any draws in the defensive zone (and just five overall). His first assist was on the opening goal of the game and took the wind out of [...]

A deal rumored for some time now, the Thrashers re-signed Anssi Salmela to a multi-year extension. I'm unsure if it's a two-way or one-way deal, but Don Waddell indicated that he would be part of their seven-defenseman group, so he won't start the year in the AHL.

Ha - according to Sentium in the comments below, Swedish reporters were told by Ericsson that he was speared a few times during the game. So my little pot-stirring rant below has been bunked.
