Ysebaert, Sutter expected to provide goals and grit
Pat Elynuik didn’t work out, and so far, neither has Alexander Selivanov. Next up on Brian Bradley’s right wing-Paul Ysebaert. The two-time, 30-goal scorer came to Tampa Bay Feb. 21 in a five-player swap that also put gritty right winger Rich Sutter in a Lightning uniform. In return, Tampa sent right winger Jim Cummins and defensemen Tom Tilley and Jeff Buchanan to the Chicago Black-hawks. Ysebaert’s mandate with his fifth team in five seasons is simple: Finish the scoring chances centers Bradley and John Tucker create. Before coming to the Lightning, the 28-year-old had four goals and nine points in 14 games. “And I haven’t been getting any power-play time,” Ysebaert said. “So things have been going pretty well for me. Still, I’m really excited about coming to Tampa Bay.” In addition to offense,…
Badgers’ junior center playing it to the Max
Max Williams was willing to accept fourth-line duty as a freshman. He was satisfied playing a supporting role as a sophomore. But this season, he was ready to take over. The junior center has been the Wisconsin Badgers’ scoring leader this season and ranked fifth in the Western Collegiate Hockey Association. “The way this program works, there isn’t pressure on you to do a lot right away,” Williams said. “But after a couple of years, you’d better be ready to step it up. We lost a lot of scoring from last year’s team and guys like me were being counted on to provide it.” Williams, 21, came to Wisconsin from Deerfield (Mass.) Academy. The Mahwah, N.J., native had five goals in 26 games as a freshman, then 13 goals in 1993-94. The Badgers…
Dionne happy to be a Flyer
Now that he’s out of the spotlight in Montreal, Gilbert Dionne wants to work his way back into the limelight with the Philadelphia Flyers. Dionne, who came to the Flyers along with defenseman Eric Desjardins and left winger John LeClair in a Feb. 9 trade for Mark Recchi and a third-round draft pick, is happy with a change of scenery. In fact, he was outspoken in his last year in Montreal and probably talked himself out of town. “I was feeling pressured a lot,” Dionne said. “It’s good in some ways, but I think it came to the point where it became too much. “I was feeling every time I did something wrong and the team wasn’t doing well, it was my fault, which is not what was happening.”’ Flyers’ coach Terry Murray showed confidence…
