Notes

• Scott Gordon has started to spread the power play time around a little more to see if he can find some productive combinations. By the end of the weekend the first unit consisted of Mark Streit and Weight on the points with Nielsen centering Guerin and Hunter up front. Thomas Pock and Jack Hillen still put in time, as did Comrie, Jeff Tambellini, Jon Sim, and Okposo. With Gordon still tinkering, keep an eye on the boxscores to see if anyone steps forward.
• DiPietro made his season debut on Saturday night against the Panthers and played well stopping 34 of 36 shots. A sharp DiPietro could be an asset to your team in GAA and SV%. If he stays healthy, he could backstop enough victories to not hurt you in wins, but he'd also likely drag you down in a category like goalie winning percentage
• Sim's tenure on the first line and first power unit is in danger as he was replaced in both places during Saturday's loss. Sean Bergenheim got a look with Guerin and Weight in practice on Monday, but isn't guaranteed to stay there.
• It wasn't a good weekend on the draw, but Weight did go 17-13 on faceoffs over both games.
• Chris Campoli skated a full practice today, but no word yet on how close he may be to returning.
