| Sporting News NHL preview schedule (SportingNews.com) |
| Notice a chill in the air? September arrives and bring the return of the National Hockey League -- on the ice, not in boardrooms, conventional halls or hearing chambers. Feel free to cheer. Sporting News notes the change in season with its 2010-11 Hockey yearbook, which previews the marathon to next June's crowning of a new Stanley Cup winner. To mark the occasion, SN provides online looks at all 30 teams, leading up to the season's start -- which again this year is in Europe. |

| Vincent Lecavalier resumes skating, prepares for training camp (SportingNews.com) |
| Tampa Bay Lightning captain Vincent Lecavalier is back on the ice in his recover from Aug. 24's arthroscopic knee surgery. "It feels better every day," Lecavalier told the St. Petersburg Times on Tuesday. "It's a little sore, but it's the best it's felt. I can do pretty much anything practicewise." Lecavalier, 30, didn't take part in a pickup game with teammates, instead working out by himself on the ice for 45 minutes and with the Lightning's trainer. |

| Lightning Team Report (Yahoo! Sports) |
| Center Vinny Lecavalier underwent knee surgery on Aug. 24. The Lightning hope those words are not uttered again anytime soon.
The procedure, which was performed by team physician Dr. Ira Guttentag in Tampa, was considered minor and more preventative than any kind of a lingering issue. It was believed Lecavalier had a partially torn meniscus before the surgery, but that turned out not to be the case.
The recovery time is expected to be 3-4 weeks, meaning Lecavalier is expected to be ready for the start of training camp when it opens on Sept. 17.
"I wouldn't categorize this as a setback," general manager Steve Yzerman said. "I went through it myself as a player. Over the course of a long career, the minutes pile up and these things happen." Lecavalier, who has been... |

| Canadiens pick up veteran center Jeff Halpern (SportingNews.com) |
| In a conference full of elite players, the Montreal Canadiens believe they've found a guy who can shut them down -- Jeff Halpern, a 34-year-old veteran whom they signed on Tuesday. Frustrated by a summer of inability to find a job, Halpern cut a one-year contract worth $600,000, according to the Montreal Gazette. That's a comedown from the four-year, $2 million accord he finished last season before becoming an unrestricted free agent. In 720 career games with the Washington Capitals, Dallas Stars, Tampa Bay Lightning and Los Angeles Kings, Halpern... |

| Antti Niemi signs with San Jose Sharks (SportingNews.com) |
| Antti Niemi is headed to San Jose. The Sharks confirmed Thursday morning that the Stanley Cup-winning goalie will get a one-year, $2 million contract, as reported by Sporting News on Wednesday. The Blackhawks, while shedding money because of salary cap issues, parted ways with Niemi after he was awarded $2.75 million in arbitration. Now, he heads to a San Jose team that could be one of Chicago's biggest challengers in the Western Conference. He will team with goalie Antero Niittymaki, who was signed to a two-year, $4 million contract by the Sharks on the... |

| Lightning send D Matt Lashoff to Maple Leafs, get two prospects (SportingNews.com) |
| In a deal that adds even more depth to their defense while shedding contracts, the Toronto Maple Leafs sent forward prospects Alex Berry and Stefano Giliati to the Tampa Bay Lightning for defenseman Matt Lashoff. The trade now gives the Maple Leafs nine defensemen under contract, and according to CapGeek.com, Toronto has $28.325 million committed to defensemen this season ¬-- the most in the National Hockey League. Lashoff, 23, has a one-way deal worth $550,000. |

| Steve Downie gets two-year deal with Tampa Bay Lightning (SportingNews.com) |
| Steve Downie's rise as an NHL player continued Wednesday as the Tampa Bay Lightning announced they signed the restricted free-agent winger to a two-year, $3.7 million deal. Not bad for a guy who early in his career was criticized for stupid penalties, foolish fights and a 20-game suspension. Downie, 23, showed maturity to go with his skill and toughness last season, his first with the Lightning, and finished with 22 goals, 24 assists, a team-best plus-14 and a 19.0 shooting percentage that was tied for fourth in the NHL. |
