News & Notes

In an effort to keep Dubie sharp, he has been sent down to Bridgeport for a conditioning stint. Recalled to play bench warmer for DP is Mike Morrison. Morrison is a University of Maine graduate who has put up respectable numbers this year at the bridge. He has 13-9-0 record with a 2.70 goals against average, .908 save percentage and three shutouts so far this year.

In other news, it looks like we may have seen the end of Bryan Berard. Aaron Johnson has returned from his conditioning stint with the Sound Tigers. Hopefully Campoli won't be out too long, as both Justin and I have been unable to find any update on his status. The other reason I don't expect to see Berard in the lineup is that Witt should be returning to the lineup as early as tomorrow night against the Flyers, barring any further setbacks.

I have a feeling it is his shoulder. I remember during the last home game before the 5 game road trip, Campoli got nailed along the boards and was flexing his shoulder for much of the rest of the game and I believe he even sat out the 3rd period.

Dubie's conditioning started well last night as he earned the first star of the game, saving 29 of 30 shots, in 2-1 SO victory.

Look's like Witt is going to sit out tonights game to give him a few more days rest. I would be shocked not to see him in the lineup on Monday afternoon against the Canes. Look for Radek's return either against the Bruins or Senators.

Let's hope that AJ plays like FMIV and not Berard. If AJ can do that, this team should be able to keep solid play we have seen over the last few games in which we are 3 of 4.
