- On a night with many strong performances, Aliaksei Protas was one of the best – part of his mentality shift to start the season. [THN]
- Hendrix Lapierre was a healthy scratch on Tuesday after going pointless through the first two weeks; there is a plan to get him back in the lineup, though. [RMNB]
- The Caps are trying to make a statement with their strong opening few weeks: that they’re not last year’s team, and they’re not backing down. [THN]
- Dylan Strome and Hendrix Lapierre spent part of yesterday with a group of lucky third-graders. [NHL]
- Finally, happy 69th birthday to Claude Noel, happy 52nd to Mel Angelstad (who famously wore Claude’s age on his jersey) and happy 41st to Steve Eminger!
