09:47 AM ET 02.09 | Canadiens general manager Bob Gainey said he was stepping down "after a long and difficult period of reflection," but it did not exactly shock anyone, as such resignations so often do. "I wasn't totally surprised," team president Pierre Boivin said. Nor were members of his very tight and protective circle of friends. "We're happy because Bob's happy," one said. Family members also understood, having seen the effect a first grandchild, Jackson Robert, fast going on one, has had on Gainey's outlook on life.

06:40 AM ET 02.09 | The Hurricanes thought they had a deal to send Ray Whitney to the Kings, but the 37-year-old winger demanded a three-year extension before he'd waive his no-trade clause and the Kings wisely refused. The Kings might seek a fifth or sixth defenseman, but they're likely to wait until July 1 to pursue a scoring winger.

09:22 AM ET 02.07 | In only his second game with the Devils, the superstar Lou Lamoriello brought in to score goals scored even larger points with his new teammates -- and surely New Jersey fans when they learn this. By standing up for Martin Brodeur against Sean Avery in last night's 3-1 loss at the Garden, Ilya Kovalchuk became part of the Devils team, even if only until July. Kovalchuk wasn't reacting merely to Avery's verbal attack on him. Brodeur and Dainius Zubrus told The Post that Kovalchuk went ballistic after Avery mouthed insults at Brodeur yet again -- a long-festering and previously unavenged wound to Devils pride.

10:57 AM ET 02.07 | Scotty Bowman figures to eventually fine-tune his Blackhawks roster, with the addition of an experienced defenseman most likely. One trade possibility, reported by Canada's TSN, says the Hawks have interest in Andrej Meszaros, a defenseman for the Tampa Bay Lightning. To get him, TSN surmises, the Hawks might have to part with forward Kris Versteeg, forward Patrick Sharp or young defenseman Cam Barker.
