Around The NHL This Week

from Jim Matheson of the Edmonton Journal,
• The Predators, who can’t win because they can’t score, should be on the phone offering up their No. 3 defenceman Dan Hamhuis, 26, for a winger. Maybe they should be going after Flyers’ Joffrey Lupul, who is about Philly’s sixth best forward and has 15 goals. Hamhuis isn’t having a good year (minus-12), but he’s in his fifth NHL season and plays 22 minutes a night in Nashville. He’s a solid, two-way D-man.
• Slugger Derek Boogaard has the longest NHL run without a goal (150 games), but as he says, “how many fights has Mikko Koivu had in his 250 games?”
• Teemu Selanne is back skating after the quadricep muscle in his left leg was sliced by his own skate a month ago at Rexall Place. No explosive stuff yet,” said the Ducks’ winger, who could help a pretty ordinary Anaheim team, maybe this week. They’ve won only five times in 16 games since he was hurt.
