At a glance: Chiefs fans get their first look at Hrdina in a Chiefs uniform. Coach Mike Babcock, already deep in forwards, has even more options in his four-line deployment with Thursday’s acquisition of the versatile Hrdina. Chiefs power play should come alive with the 19-year-old drafted property of the Pittsburgh Penguins most likely at the left point. Lemanowicz resumes his bid to become first-ever Chief GK to post sub-3.00 goal-against average. Winter Hawks, who played the Prince Albert Raiders Friday night, are here without star Richard Zednik, who on Friday was bounced by the league office for two games for scratching Brad Lukowich of Kamloops. The WHL also relieved Hawks coach Brent Peterson of $350 after Peterson did a passable imitation of a young Randy Johnson before the Mariners pitcher learned how to control his heater. Peterson was fined for firing a plastic water bottle at referee Brad Davis.
