21-24-1 (7th in Div)
December started off well, as we got points in 4 of the first 5 games and then Andersen earned two shutouts later in the month, however it was a disappointing month overall.
We re-signed both Orpik (1 year, 1.99m) and Montour (3 years, 2.7m)
We also claimed RD Ryan Sproul, RW Smith-Pelly and lost RW Stewart to injury.
Kovalchuk and Stewart are set to return next month.
