Phil Kessel isn’t worried about his emotions routinely getting the better of him. (NHL.com)

Dustin Penner is starting to settle in with the Anaheim Ducks. He still has an opportunity to play on a line with Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry. (ESPN.com)

With the New York Rangers in Vancouver for a preseason game tonight, Alain Vigneault plans to thank some of the people he worked for when he was the Canucks’ bench boss. (Newsday)

Jaromir Jagr (hip/back) probably won’t be available for the New Jersey Devils’ preseason finale tonight. (The Bergen Record)
