It’s time for the Capitals to trade Michal Neuvirth
Michal Neuvirth [2-3-1, 2.83, .912], whose agent has requested a trade, has not played since Nov. 22.
So, are the Caps ready to make this a long-term commitment to Grubauer, who is 5-2-2 with a 2.02 goals-against average and .938 save percentage?
Shane Doan to return to Coyotes on Saturday
Phoenix Coyotes captain Shane Doan, who hasn’t played since December 4, is set to make his return on Saturday.
He suffered from an illness that was later diagnosed as Rocky Mountain Fever.
Kings need scoring left wing
You can start lining up the usual suspects for the positional need of left wing: Moulson, Calgary’s Mike Cammalleri and Tampa Bay’s Ryan Malone are names that have circulated around this team seemingly forever.
A more intriguing play would be with a team that has found success with former Kings Moulson and Thomas Hickey, the New York Islanders.
Sabres claim Konopka off waivers
The Buffalo Sabres on Friday claimed center Zenon Konopka off waivers from the Minnesota Wild.
Regarded as one of the NHL’s better faceoff men, Konopka has won 65.7 percent of his faceoffs, most in the League for players to have taken at least 200 faceoffs. He also has one goal, two points and 55 penalty minutes in 36 games.

Penguins Claim Forward Taylor Pyatt Off Waivers
The Pittsburgh Penguins have claimed forward Taylor Pyatt off waivers, it was announced today by executive vice president and general manager Ray Shero.
Pyatt, 32, has played the past two seasons with the New York Rangers, collecting 12 points (6G-6A) in 70 regular-season games. He had four points (2G-2A) in 12 playoff games with the Rangers last spring.
Rangers can’t find a taker for Del Zotto
Whether this was the intention or not, the fact of the matter is Michael Del Zotto has become the Rangers’ whipping boy.
For the eighth time this season and the seventh time in the previous 22 games, Del Zotto was made a healthy scratch for Tuesday’s 2-1 shootout win over the Panthers at the BB&T Center. The former wunderkind defenseman has spoiled under new coach Alain Vigneault, and his future with the franchise has never looked more unstable.
