zajĂmavost z trĂ©ninku Bostonu
Phila Kessela nejprve přišpendlil Bobby Allen a potom ho napálil pukem do kolene Zdeno Chára
Phil Kessel had a painful practice on Wednesday. First he was crunched hard into the boards by teammate Bobby Allen, then minutes later nailed on the ankle by a Zdeno Chara slap shot. - Boston Herald
Jinak Avery cestuje s Rangers na trip, ale dnes ještě hrát nebude
Although Sean Avery will be making the road trip to Minnesota and Colorado, coach Tom Renney said Avery is not yet in position to play. Avery has missed nine games since he had surgery on his left wrist Nov. 29. Brendan Shanahan did not practice yesterday, taking a day instead for maintenance and rest. Marcel Hossa practiced again and will likely play against the Wild Thursday. - Newsday
Malone hrát dnes nebude a pravděpodobně s Crosbym bude hrát Malkin
Evgeni Malkin skated on the left side of a line centered by Sidney Crosby and also featuring right wing Colby Armstrong during the Penguins' practice at Boston University's Agganis Arena on Wednesday. The re-teaming of Malkin and Crosby was done at least in part because Ryan Malone returned to Pittsburgh for further evaluation on a leg wound. The infection resulted in the flu-like symptoms that forced Malone to miss his first game of the season, against the Rangers on Tuesday in New York. Malone is not expected to play against the Bruins in Boston Thursday or against the New York Islanders at Mellon Arena on Friday. - Tribune Review
