D Shane O'Brien returned from Thursday's one-game suspension for poking Sean Avery with his stick while both were on their respective benches on Tuesday, and replaced veteran Mathieu Schneider, who was a healthy scratch in Dallas on Friday night. Fellow defenseman Aaron Rome played a second-straight game on defense after spending the previous three as a depth forward, playing ahead of Schneider, who has struggled since returning from long-term injury. The 40-year-old Schneider, signed as a free agent for his leadership, playoff experience and power play expertise, isn't expected to play back-to-backs often this season. |

O'Brien has been suspended one game for spearing the Rangers Sean Avery with his stick on Tuesday, the Vancouver Province reports. Recommendation: O'Brien and Avery were standing at the end of their respective benches during a third-period melee on Tuesday when the incident occurred. Using his stick, O'Brien reached over to the Rangers bench and started prodding Avery in the abdomen. The suspension will be served Thursday against the Wild. |
