*The boys have the Buffalo Sabres this evening, who are — record-wise — just as bad as they are, so it should be a bit of an even playing field. Theoretically. John Tortorella was pleased after that loss to a much better team in the Carolina Hurricanes. In a sense. [NBC Sports Philly]
*Morgan Frost had a pretty okay game against the Canes; he was good in spots, not good in spots, flashes of really good in spots. So he’s in again, but how long is that going to last? [PHLY]
*One last thing about the game Monday night: the alligator was there.
