Eddie Belfour will be given the royal treatment in Chicago. (CSNChicago.com)

Ales Hemsky is having a hard time finding his game. If found, please return to Rexall Place in Edmonton. (Edmonton Journal)

Erik Gudbranson’s first NHL goal could’ve at least come in a better game for the Panthers. Celebrating in a blowout is awfully hard to do. (Sun-Sentinel)
