Reds’Dennis Macks Clicks In’ Comeback’
PROVIDENCE, R.I.— Dennis Macks played his college hockey at Brown University here and when he turned pro, it was just a case of picking up his skates and moving seven or eight blocks to R.I.

The Kings picked up the 185-pound puck stopper from the Montreal Canadiens’ organization during the off season after he won the rookie award in the AHL with Cleveland last season. This is Desjardins’ first in the NHL but probably not his last.…
