Your savory breakfast links:

  • A few leftovers from Tuesday night’s win over Seattle. [Rink, RMNB]
  • Ryan Leonard is getting better and better this young season, with three goals (and one ridiculous shot that was almost a goal) through seven games despite limited ice time. [THN, WashTimes]
  • Oh, and also this:
  • Taking a look at how Ryan, Justin Sourdif, and Declan Chisholm – the three newbies (sort of) – are doing so far. [THW]
  • And then how about Hendrix Lapierre’s five-on-five dominance against Seattle the other night? [RMNB]
  • As for the old dudes, Alex Ovechkin has just a single goal through the first seven games…but if there’s anything we know about #8, it’s that we should never worry. He’ll be fine. [THN]
  • Check out the floss holder (because…sure) that fans will receive prior to the Jan. 5 game against Anaheim – as modeled by the model himself. [NHL]
  • Finally – shooty-hoops!
