And then there were two...LESS



-Hugh Jessiman cleared waivers and was assigned to Rockford

-Ludvig Rensfeldt was sent to Brynas IF, in Sweden.

-The Hawks lost in Pittsburgh, 4-1. Of course it's silly to expect every preseason game on TV, because MLB or the NFL don't televise the preseason, do they? Anyway, here is the AP wrap up:

"Evgeni Malkin scored for Pittsburgh and the Penguins beat the Chicago Blackhawks 4-1 Tuesday night.

Dustin Jeffrey, Nick Johnson and Mark Letestu also had goals for Pittsburgh, and Paul Martin had two assists. Kyle Beach scored for Chicago, which fell to 1-3 in the preseason. The Penguins are 4-0.

The game matched the past two Stanley Cup champions - but the lineups did not. Malkin played, but fellow Penguins stars Sidney Crosby, Marc-Andre Fleury and Brooks Orpik were among the scratches. Chicago chose not to dress, among others, Jonathan Toews, Duncan Keith, Marian Hossa and Marty Turco.

Both of the Penguins' third-period goals went in off of Blackhawks defenseman Brent Seabrook."

The only things that really jump out of the box score is that they were outshot 39-22 and the line of Pisani, Potulny, Skille, Campbell and Hjalmarsson were -2 for the night. Take it for what it's worth.
