PHT’s Morning Skate takes a look around the world of hockey to see what’s happening and what we’ll be talking about around the NHL world and beyond.

Looks like it was “accountability” is what kept Alex Ovechkin on the bench for over seven minutes of the second period against Philly. For a team that wants in the playoffs they sure seem to need to be taught a lot of lessons. (CSNWashington.com)

Still curious about Tuukka Rask’s condition in Boston? So are the Bruins. We should hear more today. Hopefully. (CSNNE.com)

It’s looking like Kris Versteeg will be back this week for the Panthers. (On Frozen Pond)

Who’s the guy happiest to get a fresh start with Randy Carlyle in Toronto? How about Mike Komisarek. (Toronto Sun)

Pavel Kubina doesn’t care about getting stitches mid-game. He’s like a Czech cyborg. (CSNPhilly.com)
