NHL Notes

• Chris Higgins has been elevated to the Canadiens top line with Saku Koivu and Alex Tanguay. Big news for Higgins owners, bad news for those who own Guillaume Latendresse.

• Steve Bernier has been reunited with the Sedin twins on the Canucks top line. Mason Raymond finds himself between Ryan Kesler and Alex Burrows.

• Claude Julien has declared Tim Thomas his definite number one starter. Great news for Thomas owners, poor news for Bruin fans.

• Marek Svatos gets an offensive boost as he now finds himself between Paul Stastny and Wojtek Wolski.

• Bryan McCabe returns from his Muskoka getaway and may be back in the lineup Thursday night for the Panthers.

• Gaborik to miss the remainder of the Wild's roadtrip. Shocking development for the brittle winger and founding member of the Marian Havorik All-Stars.

• The Rangers have finally come to their senses and given Scott Gomez some offensive talent to work with. Gomez will be lining up with Markus Naslund and Ryan Callahan. The line of Zherdev-Dubinsky-and the destined for the fantasy waiver wire and Hartford Wolfpack Aaron Voros

• Peter Mueller has been elevated to the Jokinen-Doan line. A great opportunity for the sophomore winger.

• Alexander Ovechkin was back at practice and will be paired with Backstrom and Kozlov. A nice boost for the struggling Backstrom
