No Kane, but goals rain Faced with being swept by the Blackhawks in their season series, Wayne Gretzky changed goaltenders Tuesday for his Phoenix Coyotes' last regular-season meeting with the Hawks. Gretzky started Ilya Bryzgalov in the first three games but went with backup Mikael Tellqvist this time. The strategy didn't work as the Hawks rolled to a 6-0 victory, with Cristobal Huet earning the shutout.

Uptown Theatre in a Jam
David Roeder: Ald. Mary Ann Smith (48th) is encouraging a new deal involving control of the landmark Uptown Theatre, 4816 N. Broadway. What that means to the theater, empty for 25 years, or its current owner is anybody's guess, but Smith's move could be controversial. The Uptown's owner is concert promoter Jam Productions Inc., which with a partner put up $3.2 million last summer to get it in a foreclosure auction. Since then, Jam has battled in court over a $5 million reserve City Hall wants it to post to cover repairs.
