Now the captain is out as the team squares off against the Columbus Blue Jackets in what was to be something of a revenge game for the brutal cross-check delivered by Brandon Dubinsky on November 27th.

He said something similar today, though he now implies the rest will be good for Sid. “It’s a tough loss again, but (we’re keeping our) heads up”. He had zero goals and four assists in eight previous meetings against his former team.
Injuries to goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury and defenseman Kris Letang have hurt as well, affecting a penalty killing unit that’s given up five goals in 16 opportunities during Sullivan’s brief tenure.
