LATE "Off-Day" News

I'm late getting this news on the blog ... I've been having a little trouble with my internet connection these past few days.

• the biggest news is that yesterday the Penguins traded defenseman Nate Guenin to the St. Louis Blues in exchange for Steve Wagner; this doesn't cause an immediate impact on the NHL roster as Wagner will be assigned the AHL to replace Guenin and has spent most of his career with St. Louis' AHL affiliate in Peoria after being signed as a free agent in 2007
• Max Talbot and Billy Guerin did not participate in yesterday's practice
• the Pens were fitted for their tuxes for their annual Skates & Plates dinner being held on March 9th at the Carnegie Music Hall in Pittsburgh to benefit the Western Pennsylvania Chapter of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and The Mario Lemieux Foundation
