Big Night For Boo-Boo (Around The NHL)

When body-banging winger Curtis Glencross played at UAA, coaches referred to him as Boo-Boo -- that was a compliment of sorts, for Glencross usually carried some aches and pains because he played such a physical game, especially for a guy with a slight build.

He also scored goals, and these days he does it at the NHL level.

In an exhibition game Sunday night, Glencross was named first star after bagging one goal and three helpers and a +2 rating in the Calgary Flames' 5-2 win over Florida. Glencross fired five shots and delivered two hits.

Meanwhile, goaltender Ty Conklin of Anchorage stopped 33 shots for the St. Louis Blues and was named second star in a 2-1 OT loss to Colorado. Also in that game, Blues forward Julian Talbot, the former Alaska Ace, fired two shots and dished one hit in 14:43 of ice. And former Aces winger Ryan Reaves picked up a fighting major and interference penalty, plus delivered a couple of hits in 6:03.

Elsewhere, the New York Rangers sent former UAA center Paul Crowder and former UAF goaltender Chad Johnson to Hartford of the American Hockey League. And Edmonton sent former Aces winger Charles Linglet -- aka Linger the Winger -- to AHL Springfield.
