Fourth-year pro Chris Bourque, trying to earn a spot on the Washington Caps, has been wielding a hot stick. He scored a goal and an assist against the Bruins in an exhibition game in Boston on Saturday. It was his second consecutive two-point effort in the preseason. Thursday, in the Caps 5-2 win over Carolina, Bourque earned first-star honors with a goal and an assist. In that game, ex-Terrier Dan Lacouture scored for the Hurricanes.
The Columbus Blue Jackets assigned Brian McGuirk to their Syracuse Crunch AHL affiliate.
Adrian Aucoin spent just one season as a Terrier before beginning a long NHL career. Aucoin was part of the freshman class (Steve Thornton, Mike Prendergast, Rich Brennan, Kaj Linna, Derek Herlofsky, J.P. McKersie) that won an NCAA title as seniors. Following standout years with the Canucks and Islanders and some down years in Chicago, Aucoin, who rebounded with Calgary last year, discussed the upcoming season with The Calgary Herald.
2009 recruit Max Nicastro, who's been putting up points in pre-season for the Chicago Steel, scored a pair of even-strength goals in the Steel's 4-1 win over Indiana in the USHL Festival yesterday.

Friday brought the sad news of the death of screen icon, activist, philanthropist and auto racing enthusiast/team owner Paul Newman. Within his remarkable roster of movie credits, Newman’s portrayal of player-coach Reg Dunlop in “Slapshot” remains a favorite of hockey fans. In an April 2007 post, we reported that Terrier captain and All-American Steve Stirling was an extra in the film and Newman would often join the extras between takes for a game of shinny. In several of the obituaries, it was pointed out that Newman claimed his success came less from natural talent than from hard work, luck and the tenacity of a terrier.
