WHL
Swift Current defeated Brandon 3-0
Graham Black C: E
Season: 54 GP 28-45-73, +17, 37 PIM

-- Black is tied for 5th in the WHL in assists. He's the 3rd oldest player in the WHL according to EliteProspects but I'm willing to give him some leeway given the health issues he's had to overcome.

AHL
Albany lost to Manchester 3-0. Wedgewood stopped 26 of 29 shots. Boucher and Sislo had 4 shots each. Albany was outshot 29-19 and only managed 3 shots in the 3rd period despite being down 3-0. Albany was 0/4 on the PP and 6/6 on the PK. Here is the gamesheet.

Albany is now 9th in the conference with 57 points. 4 points separate 4th thru 9th.

Roster Notes:
Albany has added emergency backup G, 40 year old Bronx native, Anthony Felice. He's been the Devils minor league emergency standby for a number of years now. He's played in 2 ECHL games (2010-11, 2011-12) for Trenton. In 3 minutes of time he has stopped 2 of 3 shots. Mike Ashmore had this nice write up on him from 2/18/11 when he appeared for Trenton for his ECHL debut. He's also dressed for the Lowell and Albany Devils before and even practiced with the New Jersey Rockin' Rollers back in the day if anyone remembers the roller hockey league. I think he's still a manager at a fitness club as his full time job.

Also D Jon Merrill has been returned for the Olympic break. Larsson can play during the break but I don't think Gelinas is allowed to.
