Greetings from the venue formerly known as Pepsi Arena, where the Adirondack Phantoms and Albany Devils are hitting the ice for warm-ups. Traffic had just started to back up on Route 7E as I was turning onto 787 South. Hopefully none of you folks got caught in that.

Big news in the hockey world today, obviously, is the National Hockey League cancelling the entire month of November on the schedule. Between the alredy-axed games in October and these ones, we've lost more than a quarter of the NHL season. Statements from the NHL and NHLPA executives.

In pertinent AHL news, training camp invitee (and former Albany defenseman) Mike Banwell has signed a PTO with Worcester. The Devils assigned left wing Chris McKelvie and defenseman-turned-left-wing Harry Young to Trenton earlier today. They still have 29 guys on the roster.

One change in Adirondack's lines: Cullen Eddy, usually paired with Oliver Lauridsen, didn't take warm-ups. Forward lines are the same as we've seen since Wednesday. Albany has one to scratch.
