* All signs point toward Jordan Sigalet, who suffered a multiple sclerosis-related event last night when he collapsed during the third period of Providence's 5-2 win over Worcester, making a quick recovery. Tuukka Rask spoke with Providence teammate Wacey Rabbit this morning, who said that Sigalet should be OK. GM Peter Chiarelli theorized that the recent construction at the Dunkin' Donuts Center might have contributed to Sigalet's third-period collapse last night. According to Chiarelli, Sigalet has not felt well in games at Manchester's Verizon Wireless Arena, where smoke and pyrotechnics exacerbate his MS-related symptoms.
