Off-day bits

Jon Sim is on waivers again. Saturday was his 10th game since his last clearance, so this may just be a chance to restart the clock. Guess we’ll see Tuesday.

The Sound Tigers reassigned defenseman Matt Duffy from Kalamazoo to Gwinnett in the ECHL.

All-star rosters come out tomorrow afternoon at 3. In addition to Eastern Conference playing captain Mark Wotton, imagine Rhett Rakhshani and Kevin Poulin are the leading Bridgeport candidates, if anyone is to be added.

One crazy sequence of saves from erstwhile tweeter Mike McKenna.

The Rangers traded Michal Rozsival to Phoenix for Wojtek Wolski, who’s of course best known as Luch Aquino’s junior linemate. Are the Blueshirts that confident in Ryan McDonagh and the cast in Hartford, or is something else brewing? (Or are they clearing cap space for Wade Redden’s triumphant return?)

Great Rob Riley story in the Columbus Dispatch.

And the PHPA, union for AHL and ECHL players, extended the contract of executive director Larry Landon.
