Quote from: RitaSenators visiting the Islanders tonight. I wonder if Greening and Moulson had a short conversation during pre-game warm-ups about what happend this weekend.

Moulson gets a point but Greening gets the win.

Nice article.  2 assists lasts night, too.

Is that good for him?

Standings wise, Pittsburgh is in 1st place by 5 points. San Jose currently in 9th, out of a playoff spot by 1 pt. Given how the sharks perform (or not) in the playoffs, if Douglas wants to raise Lord Stanley's Cup, he has a better chance to do that in Pittsburgh.

It's good for me.  As a Penguins fan.  And a Cornell fan.

I meant in terms of playing time, since his has decreased in SJ.

Colin Greening scores a goal in Ottawa's shoot-out win over Brodeur and the Devils. The Sens had 14 shots on goal... for the game. They must lead the league in 1 goal/OT_L/shoot out games and so far are coming out on the good side of those games.

Any else surprised that SJ got a 2103 2nd pick and either a 2nd or 3rd round pick for 2014?  His ice time has been falling and his role has changed the last couple of years.  He seems like a 5th defenseman now, big and valuable, but two reasonably high high draft picks?  IMO this is a good trade for San Jose, I'd be surprised if anyone else was offering a comparable package (it's understood that Pittsburgh's draft selection position will be lower than most teams).  Good for Douglas though to go to a real contender, I don't know him but he seems loyal and a real team guy who will certainly help protect some very valuable teammates.

The Penguins could really use a defenseman like Murray.  Right now, they've got Mark Eaton, who is okay-ish, and Deryk Engelland, who's pretty much just there to punch people, as 2nd/3rd line defensive-minded dmen.  Murray's an upgrade over either, or at absolute worst, an upgrade over Engelland.

Riley Nash had a nice primary assist on the powerplay last night, but it ended up being Carolina's only goal in a 4-1 loss to Winnipeg. Matt Moulson and the Islanders fared a little better as he finished off a great individual forechecking effort by setting up John Tavares on the game-winning goal late in the 3rd.

Ben Scrivens also got the start for Toronto last night and was impressive, stopping 40 of 42 Florida shots in a 3-2 Toronto win.
