Here are some news and notes gleaned from Larry Mahoney's BDN article today:

- Maine will play at Cornell with 4 full lines, but only 5 defensemen due to
injuries and suspensions.  According to Mahoney, here is the run-down on the
missing players:

    Niko Dimitrakos - mandatory one game suspension for fighting vs. Lowell
Friday, will return to the lineup Friday against Brown.
    Cliff Loya - will serve the second game of his two game suspension
Tuesday, will be available for the weekend.
    Peter Metcalf - injured, twisted a knee and will miss 2-3 weeks.
    Brendan Donovan - injured, has a kidney problem and is having it
evaluated.  Is expected out at least 1-2 weeks according to Mahoney.

Maine will insert Mike Mantenuto and Cameron Lyall into the lineup Tuesday.
Kevin Clausson will move back to the blueline if necessary (he was
originally a defenseman, converted to forward).

Wayne expects a Maine blow out, which is still possible, but the Black Bears
will have to do it short-handed.
