"Greiss was lucky," Darche said, smiling. "He fell backwards and just landed on the puck."

Darche figured he would be back with Tampa Bay this season - that is, until general manager Jay Feaster and coach John Tortorella both were fired.

Staubitz back on ice

Brad Staubitz returned to action and took a regular shift up front. It was just his second game of the season for Worcester. He played against Lowell on opening night, was called up to San Jose, then was injured. Matt Jones, Matt Kinch, Brett Westgarth and Dan DaSilva were all in street clothes. Jones has a broken jaw and while he is able to skate, he is not practicing with the team and remains weeks away. DaSilva has a concussion but may be able to play again this weekend.

Cory Larose, who was limping a bit after last weekend's action, took a regular turn and assisted on Worcester's first goal.
