Mac Faulkner found out about it during the morning skate. As part of Pink In The Rink night, a team sponsor offered to donate $1,500 to breast-cancer charities if a player hit an empty netter from the red line before the opening faceoff.

Faulkner was the pick, so the Reading Royals captain practiced sliding shots all morning.

"Then there was lots of water out there, and I was like: 'Oh, jeez, I can't slide this in,' " Faulkner said. "I thought I was going to miss the net. You go out there cold, lots of people around me, $1,500 bucks to a great cause."
