If OEL is out for awhile I wonder if we go after Erik Gustafsson again. Been stuck in the minors almost all season long (just got called up by Detroit).

Goalies are voodoo so anything can happen, but on paper this is a big win for Pittsburgh I think. Jarry almost exactly a year ago this time cleared waivers. Now he gets traded for a 2nd rounder and a half-decent bottom pair defenceman (and Skinner but on an expiring contract at least).

For whatever it's worth, Nylander is actually 2nd among forwards on the team in ice-time against an empty net this season and that was the first time he's been scored on there.

The Sharks have been outscored 11-3 at 5-on-5 with Reaves on the ice. Among all players with 20+ games played this season that's the worst GF% in the league besides Garnet Hathaway's 10% (1-9). He has 2 goals and 0 assists in 25 games. 518 players have played 20+ games this season, the number...

So... definitely surgery then right?

Don't forget Klingy.

They could have also just waived Myers and called up both.

Probably means they're gonna try Benoit-Myers again and Thrun is around because Rielly is ill.

Would have preferred to see Matt Benning here. He had a solid camp, missed out on potential call-ups earlier because he was injured himself but been back for about a week now. Don't necessarily mind Thrun but he's gonna have to play on his weak side if he's in the line-up.

Well a month ago the Leafs had the 30th best 5-on-5 save percentage in the league. They've since worked their way up to 18th.

I'm not entirely sure that the moderate-to-low level of force of McMann's swing (which was dumb but certainly wasn't an intentional head shot and primarily just hit the guys shoulder) is worth more than a game misconduct and a max fine, but I won't really lose any sleep over a 1-game suspension...

Laughton's confirmed to play despite missing practice, so the only changes to the line-up are Jarnkrok in for Robertson and Mermis in for Myers.

Tavares was 16 for 29 in the shootout with the Islanders, but now 0 for 7 as a Leaf. Options certainly feel a little limited after 34 and 88 but not sure why it wasn't someone like Cowan or Domi instead.

Well I'm glad the teams put themselves back into a playoff fight but there's still some sorta baffling line-up decisions going on so hopefully a loss means Berube can finally move some things around. As others have said Cowan on the 2nd line (and PP1) isn't working. Domi on the top line isn't...

Well he's never done it again, so I mean, technically...

x4, don't think there will be much debate on this one

Kopitar and Toews were literally the two NHLers that Matthews was compared to the most as a prospect so it's not like this stuff is new or came out of nowhere.
