Todd Fedoruk still hasn't recovered from his head injuries. How else do you explain his stupid suggestion that enforcers wear four-ounce gloves similar to UFC fighters under their NHL gloves? Jeff O'Neill was a healthy scratch last night. The bottom has dropped out on his comeback season. Scottie Upshall and Simon Gagne returned to the Philly lineup [...]

Bertuzzi will play on a line with Datsyuk and Holmstrom. The Sens have signed Nick Foligno to an entry-level deal.
