Mrazek injured during Maple Leafs game against Bruins

Goalie leaves in first period

Petr Mrazek left the game in the first period after the Toronto Maple Leafs goalie was injured against the Boston Bruins at TD Garden on Tuesday.

Mrazek allowed one goal on four shots before leaving with a groin injury 7:44 into the game. Goalie Erik Kallgren entered in relief and completed the 6-4 win at TD Garden.
"It's tough," Maple Leafs coach Sheldon Keefe said. "Obviously we already have Jack [Campbell] out. To see that is tough. He was getting some traction here and had been playing well, so it's tough. But he's been through these kinds of things before. We don't know the severity of it. We'll have a greater sense of what the situation is in the coming days, but it looks like he's going to miss some time."
Mrazek was starting for the third time in four games after not playing since March 13. He was 12-6-0 with a 3.31 goals-against average and an .890 save percentage.
Campbell has not played since March 8 because of a rib injury.
Jason San Antonio was the emergency backup. The 31-year-old played three seasons for Bryant University (2011-14).

Freaking no goal in the Vegas game cost me at least 7k since Logan Thompson was pretty popular

My Canucks are done after last night. It was a decent run after the coaching change but they just didn't have the players and the games left to jump past so many teams. But they were much more entertaining to watch which gives me optimism for next season.

Ya I know they aren't mathematically eliminated and they do play LVK back to back starting Sunday which are one of the teams they are chasing and if they sweep those two games, the belief will once again heighten. But just like a 17-year old virgin in the back seat of a Cadillac getting his first hand job, it won't last long.

Nucks have one of the best Goalies in the NHL. JT Miller is the heart and soul of the team. Hughes can skate like no one else and Petterssen is pretty good also. Rutherford will make some moves in the off season. Hopefully Boesner can be packaged in a deal along. The future looks bright in Vancouver even when its cloudy and drizzling for weeks at a time.

Colorado Avalanche

Nathan MacKinnon will return for the Avalanche against the San Jose Sharks on Thursday (9 p.m. ET, coach Jared Bednar said.
The center did not play in a 2-1 win against the Calgary Flames on Tuesday because of an upper-body injury. Bednar said Tuesday that the injury could have resulted from MacKinnon's fight with Minnesota Wild defenseman Matt Dumba in the third period of a 3-2 overtime loss Sunday and that there was no timetable for his return.
"I haven't talked to Nate yet, it was a pretty quick turnaround for him," Avalanche defenseman Cale Makar said Tuesday. "Hopefully it's not something super serious, but at the end of the day, when you lose a key guy on our team like that, that's not going to be easy to fill the role."
MacKinnon has been limited to 51 games this season because of injuries. He has scored 70 points (22 goals, 48 assists) and was fourth on the Avalanche in scoring and first in points per game (1.37).

Calgary lost 2-1 a couple nights ago after winning 9-5 against Edmonton on Saturday. Tonight they take on LAK who played in Edmonton last night. Look for the Flames to take it out on the Kings tonight. 7-2 Flames.

CALGARY -1½-110

Jonathan Toews plays his 1000 game tonight in Florida.

For a dog play on a chalky card, I got Chicago Blackhawks for a small bet at +270. See if the milestone gives them a little extra motivation to hold a lead. Also I think Florida is gettable lately.

Toews is a class act.
Bobrovsky in net for the Panthers again and he's allowed at least 3 goals in his last 4 starts. Mind you, he's made some unreal saves in those games also. Florida really have their offense going now. They outshot the Sens something like 50-20 a couple games ago in their 4-3 victory in Ottawa. For those reasons, I am on the over in this one myself.

I see a 5-4 or 5-3 game here. o7+101

Go Hawks!

Good luck man!

**yisman** · 03-31-22, 10:51 PM

Whoa! It's a Double Aho!
Both NHL players named Sebastian Aho — one a defenseman for the New York Islanders, the other a forward for the Carolina Hurricanes — scored goals for their teams Thursday night.
And at nearly the exact same time.

Anaheim's Trevor Zegras had some choice words for Arizona's Jay Beagle following an on-ice altercation during Friday night's game.
The Ducks were leading the Coyotes 5-0 with less than three minutes to play when Zegras and teammate Troy Terry came in on net and tried to slip a puck past goalie Josef Korenar.
That incited Beagle, who cross-checked Zegras in the back. Terry came over to defend Zegras and Beagle (a 6-foot-3, 210-pound center) proceeded to punch Terry (5-11, 185 pounds) repeatedly, until a hit up high sent the Ducks' winger to the ice. Beagle kept going from there, looking for another sparring partner in Cam Fowler before the referees finally sent him off the ice.
Zegras didn't hold back when addressing the incident postgame.
"I think it's embarrassing, I think it's a bad look for the league, and for the player that did it, I think it's a bad look and he should be f---ing punished," Zegras said, according to PHNX Coyotes. "[The puck] was 100 percent loose. I get that you're going to hit me in the back, but you don't punch a guy when he's down, especially a [31]-goal scorer in the NHL who's a superstar."

Sam Bennett was all over the ice in the 2nd and 3rd. He got 2 assists but could have gotten another 3 or 4.

Mike Yeo is a clown for benching Keith Yandle and ending his 989 consecutive game streak. I get Yandle is -39 this year, but Flyers are going nowhere, and they lost badly at home anyway. Let him finish out the season and Flyers could get rid of him then. Remember Yeo was fired by the Blues a few seasons ago when they had the worst record in all of hockey almost halfway through the season. Blues went on a roll and won Stanley Cup after he got fired. Why Yeo is even coaching shows how bad Flyers Comcast/management is. Only thing I like about Flyers is Gritty.

Another way to look at it, if a player isn't good enough to secure his roster spot anymore (or the team wants to have more of a look at some younger players), wouldn't it be manipulated if they let Yandle play for the streak milestone?

A similar situation a happened a couple weeks ago when Phil Kessel started a road game to keep his streak intact, played only for 30 seconds, left the arena, and got on a plane to be with his wife giving birth.

The records and career milestones should happen organically, not manipulated.

hard to count this Florida team out of any game. They are all in for the Cup. No 1st round pick the next 3 years.

In the East, Washington is cemented in the second wild-card spot, 11 points up on the Columbus Blue Jackets and nine back of Boston. The current races are for positioning rather than playoff inclusion as the Leafs, Bruins and Lightning battle for second in the Atlantic, while first in the Metropolitan remains up for grabs.
