Let the regulation losses continue. And more points for Captain Nick! Guhle and Barron both out of the lineup with UBI's. New addition Allard makes his debut, playing his second NHL game.

Panthers win … but so do Sens, Caps, Sabres and Islanders, so they only make up ground on the Pens. And the Canucks beat the Leafs.

Did anybody see Hughes' press conference after the trade deadline? He was being asked questions about it being a slow trade deadline for them which he admitted it was. He was asked about other teams interest in Edmundson and he said he didn't want to say what teams out of respect. Then, he was asked about Drouin and said the same thing - but I am certain that was because nobody inquired about him. The next question was if they would bring Drouin back and Hughes said they have another 20 games to evaluate him and see what he's like. It sure seemed like Hughes went out of his way to be polite and coy to not reveal that Drouin is completely done with the Habs.
