A little help from my friends

A quick shout-out to Hound Central 4.0 reader Chris for helping me identify some of the New York Rangers' top prospects during the team's trip Tuesday to play the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Chris, a Rangers fan from Orlando, said these players, from left, Artem Anisimov, Michael Del Zotto and Andreas Jamtin, were certainly worthy of putting on a puck. Among them, I was most familiar with Del Zotto, a defenseman, taken 20th overall in the 2008 NHL Draft.

Though I take pride in my preparation, I'm not above accepting assistance from others with more acute knowledge of a visiting team. Once again, Chris, thanks for all of your help.
