The Worcester Sharks, continuing to play with four of their key players in San Jose on recall, defeated the first place Manchester Monarchs 2-1 in a shootout at the DCU Center in Worcester, Massachusetts Friday night. Just like in last Saturday's meeting, with so many front line players not in the line-up for the WorSharks and Manchester having allowed the fewest goals in the AHL so far this season,...
The Worcester Sharks continued their shots on goal barrage but couldn't manage more than a single goal in a 4-1 loss to the Manchester Monarchs Saturday night at the Verizon Wireless Arena in Manchester, New Hampshire in front of 3,162 fans. The Monarchs came into the game with the AHL's stingiest defense, allowing just 13 goals in 10 games, so the last thing Worcester wanted to do was fall behind...

It may have also inadvertently lead to a "bean burrito line" nickname for Heatley-Thornton-Setoguchi among a few fans. Canal Street has worked for the Oakland...
Lucas Lessio still hasn't decided if he'll play a year at St. Mike's and then come be a Wolverine or if he'll go to the OHL, but he is headed to Niagara's camp .

MHNet says the Alumni Game will be July 31 this year. Nice article from The Arizona Republic about the Michigan connection with the Phoenix Coyotes. Porter, Kolarik, Montoya, Summers, Chris Brown.

Hurricanes coach Peter Laviolette said the line of Tuomo Ruutu, Dwight Helminen and Chad LaRose would remain intact tonight against the Toronto Maple Leafs.
