-The Matt Cooke-Brandon Sutter-Tyler Kennedy line carry Team Black past Team White, 5-4, in last night's scrimmage.

-Highlights:

-"The Flyers are the Flyers. I hate losing to them." - Marc-Andre Fleury on Saturday's opponent.

-"You’re going to need your second goalie to play anywhere between 15 and 22 games in a season like this." - Penguins assistant coach Tony Granato on the short, compacted season.

-Dan Bylsma speaks:

-The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins recalled defensemen Carl Sneep and Cody Wild from the Nailers.

-The ECHL suspended Nailers forward Keven Veilleux 10 games and fined him an undisclosed amount for allegedly directing a racial slur at South Carolina Stingrays forward Scooter Vaughan Sunday.

-The Devils signed forward Travis Zajac to an eight-year, $46 million contract extension.

-“I’m not the kind of player who will say, ‘Listen to me.’ It’s more lead by example in certain things. I’m not, ‘Hey, I’ve been there, done that, so you have to listen to me.' I’m not like that.” - Former Penguins forward Ruslan Fedotenko on his role with the Flyers.

-The Coyotes acquired forward Matthew Lombardi from the Maple Leafs in exchange for a conditional draft pick in 2014.
