TSN's Ice Chips:
Updates for October 3, 2007
Across Canada:
The Latest on the Senators
Goaltender Ray Emery is making the trip to Toronto for Wednesday's opener against the Maple Leafs, however he is not expected to dress as Martin Gerber's backup. Brian Elliott will serve as Gerber's back up for the immediate future.
"I'm not ready to go yet" Emery told TSN.
Neither head coach John Paddock nor Emery have any idea when he will return to game action. Emery continues to workout prior to the team practice.
Forward Dean McAmmond skated by himself today for the 1st time since suffering a concussion during last week's pre-season game against the Flyers. It was just a light skate but a positive sign McAmmond.
Dany Heatley is sticking to his word about not negotiating a new deal during the season. Heatley says he's not "drawing a line" but that he doesn't want the issue "becoming a distraction". Heatley with be a UFA on July 1 2008. - TSN
***
The Latest on the Flames
Dustin Boyd was sent down to Quad Cities on Tuesday. Forwards Owen Nolan (groin) and David Moss (upper body) did not practice on Tuesday. - TSN
***
The Latest from on the Canadiens
The Canadiens announced Monday that goaltender Jaroslav Halak, defenceman Ryan O'Byrne and forward Maxim Lapierre were assigned to the AHL Hamilton Bulldogs.
***
The Latest on the Oilers
The Edmonton Oilers have named Ethan Moreau as their new captain, making him the 12th player to wear the "C" since the team joined the NHL in 1979.
The Oilers also announced that they have released forward Anson Carter who was with the team on a tryout basis.
***
The Latest on the Canucks
With Sami Salo out for the first few games (wrist, placed on IR) and Alex Edler nursing an injured toe, the Canucks have claimed defenceman, Mike Weaver off of waivers. He played 39 games with the Kings last season. They are still hopeful that Edler will play in Fridays season opener but Weaver gives them some insurance.
Brendan Morrison, who has been nursing a groin injury for about 10 days, is also expected to play. - TSN
***
The Latest on the Maple Leafs
Leafs head coach Paul Maurice said that not naming his starting goalie until game-time might be something he continues to do for the rest of the season. He would not reveal his starter for tonight after the pre-game skate, but Andrew Raycroft told the media he had already been told he was starting. The Maple Leafs assigned Staffan Kronwall to the Marlies. - TSN
***
Around The League:
The Latest from Boston
Brandon Bochenski and Jeremy Reich were the extra forwards. Zdeno Chara and Aaron Ward worked as the top defense pairing. Andrew Alberts and Andrew Ference made up the second unit, while Mark Stuart skated alongside either Bobby Allen or Dennis Wideman. - Boston Herald
***
The Latest from Buffalo
Forward Clarke MacArthur remained with the Sabres rather than being sent to Rochester of the AHL as Ales Kotalik continues to recover from a knee injury. Kotalik is not expected to be in uniform for the Sabres opener on Friday. - Buffalo News
***
The Latest from Carolina
Goaltender John Grahame is doubtful for tonight's game with a leg injury. Michael Leighton will serve as Cam Ward's backup. - Raleigh News Observer
***
The Latest from Colorado
Ryan Smyth, Joe Sakic and Milan Hejduk will be the first line, while Paul Stastny and Andrew Brunette will skate with 30-year-old Czech rookie, Jaroslav Hlinka. - Denver Post
***
The Latest from Columbus
Rookie defenseman Kris Russell will see lots of time on the Columbus power play. - Columbus Dispatch
***
The Latest from Dallas
Stars forward Mike Ribeiro had the walking boot removed from his injured leg Monday and hopes to begin skating Tuesday. Head coach Dave Tippett believes that Ribeiro is still at least a week away from returning to the lineup. - Dallas Star/Telegram
***
The Latest from Florida
Winger Richard Zednik said he couldn't move his swollen right shoulder Tuesday, and it felt about as bad as might be expected a day after crashing into the boards. He is "questionable" for Thursday's season opener against the New York Rangers, coach Jacques Martin said. - Sun Sentinel
***
The Latest from Minnesota
Wes Walz has been named the center of the number one line in Minnesota. He will centre Pavol Demitra and Marian Gaborik. Petteri Nummelin (hamstring) could be cleared to play in the opener if he responds well to Tuesday's practice. Kurtis Foster (groin) missed practice again and will almost certainly miss the opener. - Minneapolis-St. Paul Star Tribune
***
The Latest from Nashville
Predators General Manager David Poile says forward Steve Sullivan will continue to work on his rehabilitation and stretching for the next couple of weeks, and at that point - approximately seven weeks after his most recent back surgery - doctors will take an MRI of the disc in question.- Nashville Tennessean
***
The Latest from New Jersey
Forward Patrik Elias believes he has fully recovered from a groin injury and he feels well enough to play in the opener.
GM Lou Lamoriello said the team doesn't know the extent of possible damage to defenseman Colin White's right eye. White, who is on injured reserve but not the long-term injury list, was hit by a deflected puck during practice Sept. 19. Asked if White's vision was damaged, Lamoriello said: "It's a wait-and-see situation. Time will tell. The doctors are in charge." - Newark Star/Ledger
The Devils have claimed defenceman Sheldon Brookbank off waivers from Columbus.
***
The Latest from Phoenix
The starting goaltender for the Phoenix Coyotes opener on Thursday is still undecided. David Aebischer, Mikael Tellqvist and Alexander Auld have all made a case to start in the preseason. Coach Wayne Gretzky said that he will decide today who will start. - Arizona Republic
Whew, that was pretty long.

Battle for Ontario turned out to be a tough one.
Way OT but those Dallas jerseys look like I expected them to ... crap.
Stastny just put one in right when I said that lol.

Battle for Ontario turned out to be a tough one, glad Montréal lost in OT. At least that's one point that they can't get back.
Montreal won in OT...
The battle of Ontario is now in OT and Ottawa just scored to win 4-3.

Colorado won 4-3 in regulation. Dallas tried to mount a comeback in the 3rd, but ran out of time. 
Stastny had a natural hat trick for the season opener, which is the same thing his father did years ago.
