Thursday Morning Notes

The Penguins are getting closer and closer to getting healthy, with Pascal Dupuis and Maxime Talbot returning to the line-up from injury and the blueline is being paired down to six, which sees Brooks Orpik and Alex Goligoski up in the press box as healthy scratches. Orpik and Goligoski sat as the Penguins beat up on the Rangers on Wednesday night, which may start the rumour engines about the team.

The Capitals blueline is expected to be a bit healthier this weekend, as Tom Poti is finally expected to return to the line-up. On that note, Karl Alzer was sent back down to the minors on Wednesday to help his development out a little bit more. Soon enough, however, Alzner will be a full-time defender for Washington, surprisingly, it's not this season.
