| PC's Taormina scores game-winner in AHL debut »
After returning from one of the Providence Bruins longest road trips in recent memory, coach Rob Murray was on the phone in his office shortly after noon Tuesday "looking for players.'' The AHL's Clear Day deadline is Wednesday at 3 p.m. That's when all teams must submit their final 22-man rosters. Only those players listed on the Clear Day roster are eligible for the rest of the regular season and the Calder Cup playoffs, unless emergency conditions arise as a result of recall, injury or suspension. With three players on the injured list (Andrew Bodnarchuk, Peter Schaefer and Ryan Stokes) and two key players recently traded (Matt Lashoff and Martins Karsums), Murray heads into the season's stretch run with a depleted roster that includes four players who are on tryout contracts (Kirk MacDonald, Dan Ryder, Brian Miller and Kevin Schaeffer). Murray said he didn't expect any big moves before the deadline. First on Murray's wish list is a top four AHL defenseman, possibly acquired on loan from a team that doesn't expect to make the playoffs. Other possibilities are Canadian juniors and American college players whose seasons either have ended or will end soon.
