Your savory breakfast links:

  • Recaps and other assorted musings on last night’s loss from us, Vogs, Caps video (Carbery, Thompson, Strome, Roy), NHL, AP, THN, and RMNB.
  • We are in wait-and-see mode as it pertains to Pierre-Luc Dubois, after the forward was handed a match penalty:

Pertaining to Pierre-Luc Dubois' match penalty, per Rule 21.2 "In addition to the match penalty, the player shall be automatically suspended from further competition until the Commissioner has ruled on the issue."

  • The play in question:

As a result of the match penalty to PL Dubois, he's automatically and indefinitely suspended until Gary Bettman decides he's not. Can't imagine it'll be long if it even extends past this game, considering I don't think he's been in any disciplinary trouble since juniors. #ALLCAPS

  • He’s only a few games into his pro career, but Cole Hutson has already made the transition from college hockey to the NHL seem pretty seamless. [Puck Prose]
  • Hutson’s new teammate, Jakob Chychrun, sees a bit of himself in the young blueliner. [THN]
  • Counting down the top 100 NHL prospects, starting with 81-100. [THN]
  • Finally, happy 71st birthday to Ted Bulley, happy 70th to Dwight Schofield, and happy 53rd to Andrei Nikolishin!
