The young center been lighting up the WHL lately.

Well, three questionable hits in one week will probably do this...

Have to assume there has been an injury. Best guess is Klesla given what happened to him on Saturday night

The Pirates beat the Penguins 3-2 in a shootout, despite being out shot 37-23 and for the most part chasing the play. But a win is a win and Portland certainly will take the two points. Colin McDonald was the lone scorer in the shootout for the Penguins, Ryan Duncan and Brett MacLean lit the lamp for the Pirates. The loss ends the Penguins perfect road record, which is now at 8-0-0-1.

Expect Scott Munroe (Penguins) and Curtis McElhinney (Pirates) to start in net tonight for their respective teams. For the Penguins, the lineup gets a boost with the return of Eric Tangradi from the NHL Penguins. Tangradi was a point per game player in October, notching five goals and four assists in nine games. For the Pirates, rookie center Andy Miele leads the team in all offensive categories, with five goals and eight assists in nine games. Former WBS Penguins Marc Antoine Pouliot is now on the Portland Pirates and has seven points (3G, 4A) through his first nine games.

A contract extension and a letter on his sweater. Quite a week for Marty.

One player on the roster can thank Kyle Turris for his NHL paycheck.

Hockey's most famous tweeter gets extended.

We can use this as a quick GDT for those that are listening to the Coyotes-Ducks game online with the Ducks radio announcers. Get ready for the home preseason opener tomorrow.
