The “Kraft Hockeyville” pre-season game, which was going to be at a rink in Belle Garden, PA has been moved to the Penguins practice rink in Cranberry. NBCSN will still be there to broadcast it. OK then. [Penguins.nhl.com]
The owner of the rink isn’t disappointed, but “it would have been a lot nicer for the community if the game were held here.” Sounds disappointed. [Tribune Review]
In news that makes the Brian Dumoulin deal look pretty good, Calvin de Haan got a 1 year at $3.3 million from the Islanders and is in-line to be an unrestricted free agent next summer.
