Enough fodder to fire off a quick post…
–> Boris Valabik cleared waivers. This should come as no surprise to anyone. The only thing that I wonder is if he is healthy enough to actually slot into the lineup and play right away. Huge test this weekend coming with the Hershey Bears coming to town and the defending Calder Cup Champion Bingahmton Senators on Saturday from the Southern Tier of New York.
–> Valabik may actually play because it looks like Alexandre Picard was recalled to Pittsburgh per RDS’ Renaud Lavoie’s tweet this afternoon. Picard is most likely going to be carried as an extra body as the Penguins are on the West Coast playing against San Jose on Thursday and Los Angeles on Saturday.
–> Elsewhere, Tim Wallace had a hat trick including the game winning goal as Bridgeport beat Connecticut early this afternoon 4-3. Wallace was named the games first star. The three goals were his first of the season.
Keep chirpin’. Go Penguins!
