FIRST PERIOD 19:38: Off a turnover in the neutral zone, Tyler Kennedy rushes in from the right wing and rips a wrister to the far side wide. 19:14: Matt Cook backhands a puck into the crease. Reimer flops down to stop it. Wyatt Smith is in the crease hacking away. The puck hops up in the air and Smith swats it into the net. The red light goes off. A crowd gathers behind the net around Caputi. Officials...

The NHL roster size for the regular season is 23, and that usually breaks...
