Give him an 'A'.
Just noticed that Scott Niedermayer officially has an 'A' on his jersey for the Dallas game. That's because of captain Chris Pronger's suspension. No one will wear the captain's 'C' until Pronger comes back for the regular-season finale. In the meantime, Niedermayer (last year's captain), Chris Kunitz and Rob Niedermayer will wear the alternate captain 'A's.

J.P. Hoornstra has been covering the Anaheim Ducks since 2007. Eight months after the University of Wisconsin won its third NCAA hockey championship, he was born in a frigid Madison winter. He betrayed his blue-blooded beginnings by graduating from UCLA in 2003, and welcomes any and all dialogue on the finer points of hockey.
