Rumors and Notes

There is speculation that the Pittsburgh Penguins and Washington Capitals are discussing a deal that would send big D-man Brendan Witt to Pittsburgh. There hasn't been a whole lot going around on this, however the Washington play by play team alluded to the talks during a the weekend Caps/Lightning broadcast.

The Penguins have reassigned goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury to their AHL affiliate, the Wilkes Barre-Scranton Baby Penguins. The move allowed Jocelyn Thibault to rejoin the active roster after recovering from his knee injury, a bruise caused by a Rico Fata shot 2 weeks ago.

Sidney Crosby has picked up points in each of his first 6 NHL games. Crosby has 2 goals and 7 assists through 10/17 tying him for 5th in the league scoring race.

John LeClair has been moved to the right wing of a line with Mario Lemieux and Ryan Malone. He played a few shifts there on Friday night before joining his new linemates for the entire game Saturday against the Tampa Bay Lightning. The big winger picked up his first goal of the season Friday night against his old mates the Philadelphia Flyers. .
