Mario Lemieux finished in 16th place at the American Century Championship in Tahoe. Former Penguins Pierre Larouche and Dan Quinn tied for 13th.

The Coyotes re-signed right winger Bill Thomas, a native of Fox Chapel. They also re-signed goaltender David LeNeveu and signed former Penguins winger Tomas Surovy.

Defenseman Chris Campoli re-signs with the Islanders.

The Lightning re-signed defenseman Paul Ranger.
