Penguins officials will meet with state and local leaders today in Philadelphia in what could be a pivotal moment in deciding whether the team stays in Pittsburgh or moves elsewhere next season.

If Blackhawks GM Dale Tallon isn't worried about his future, maybe he ought to be. When big bossman Bob Pulford goes on a trip to Detroit and Tallon isn't along for the ride, as was the case Friday, that should be enough to scare any GM who has had a track record like Tallon's.

The Flyers have nine picks going into June's draft. They will have either the top overall selection or the second pick, plus Nashville's first-round pick. General manager Paul Holmgren dropped broad hints Monday that he'd be willing to package his picks to obtain a top defenseman.

Chris Pronger, perhaps mostly out of embarrassment, wasn't about to give up how he injured himself while working out Sunday. Ducks coach Randy Carlyle said he was under the impression that Pronger lost his balance during a particular exercise. Pronger will miss at least two weeks.

The Islanders will get the captain Alexei Yashin back for Thursday's game for the first time since he sustained a knee injury at the beginning of February. Yashin, who still walks with a limp but seems to skate without a hint of his injury, made that announcement at today's practice.

Rangers forward Brendan Shanahan would have given nearly anything to do something as simple as ride a stationary bike. But he remains under orders not to work out until his concussion symptoms clear. He watched practice, wearing basketball shorts and looking miserable.

Dave Tippett was in a juggling mood Wednesday. The Stars coach shook up every line in hopes of shaking up his team. Rookie Chris Conner, called up from Iowa after scoring five goals in his last six games, was moved to the left wing on a top line with Mike Modano and Loui Eriksson.

Since sending Reed Low to Norfolk after six games, the Blackhawks haven't had an enforcer to protect Martin Havlat or make sure no one takes any liberties with other Hawks. Martin Lapointe has tried to fill that role, as have Duncan Keith and Brent Seabrook. In Keith's case, he has to move up in weight nearly every time he gets involved.

The Predators, already struggling with lukewarm fan support, have apparently had no luck finding a sponsor to step up and pay for the naming rights to the Gaylord Entertainment Center, and the hockey team wants to change the name back to the Nashville Arena.
