- OCR reporter Eric Stephens asked Ducks coach Randy Carlyle why rusty goalie Jonas Hiller wasn't sent to Syracuse for a rehab assignment. Carlyle said the organization didn't make that request out of respect for him and all he's done for the team this year.

Syracuse owner Howard Dolgon was at Friday's game. So here is the obligatory affiliation update:

Intrepid reporter: "What's the latest on affiliation news?''

Dolgon: "As soon as we have a definite, you'll know. Right now, let's just say our goal, as it's always been, is to have the best possible situation for our team, whether it be with Anaheim or anybody else.''

IR: "Will you be with Anaheim next season?''

Dolgon: "I don't know. We'll see.''
