Forward Todd Bertuzzi of the Vancouver Canucks will play against Colorado tonight for the first time since his blindside punch left Avalanche forward Steve Moore with broken bones in his neck more than 19 months ago.... The approach of Hurricane Wilma forced the NHL to postpone tonight’s game in Sunrise, Fla., between the Senators and the Florida Panthers. They will make up the game Dec. 5.
