— Coming off his first win of the season Friday night, goaltender Matt Murray got the start again Saturday night for the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds vs Windsor Spitfires. Murray made 37 saves on 40 shots, taking the loss in a 3-2 defeat. Murray is 1-1 on the season with a 4.03 GAA and .902 save percentage.
— Defenseman Clark Seymour the Penguins 2012 5th round pick is known as a denter on the blueline and not a points producer, but Seymour has been chipping in offensively to open the season.

Seymour has a goal and an assist through two games. Last season Seymour had no goals and eight points in 47 games for the Petes.
— Winger Anton Zlobin was held pointless in Val-d’Or 3-2 loss to Blainville-Boisbriand on Saturday. Zlobin was a minus-1 in the loss and credited with one hit.
