Sabres eliminated, miss playoffs for NHL-record 11th straight season .

They showed a little something over the last month or so. Hopefully they can carry that forward and not start next season stretching and yawning.

Eichel sure didn`t pan out and a lot of other things I guess .

Owen Power will join the Sabres in Tampa on Saturday and will likely make his NHL debut Tuesday night in Toronto, Sabres general manager Kevyn Adams said Friday.
The Sabres signed Power, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2021 NHL Draft, to a three-year, entry-level contract on Friday afternoon.
"That's kind of the tentative plan," Adams said. "I think it'd be good for him to get on the ice a couple days, be around the guys, he'll watch the game in Tampa and then be ready to go, so we're excited."

Boston Bruins

David Pastrnak will miss his third game for the Bruins when they visit the Washington Capitals on Sunday (TNT, SN360, TVAS, NHL LIVE).
The forward aggravated a previous injury in a 3-2 overtime win against the Columbus Blue Jackets on Monday and did not play in a 5-3 loss to the Detroit Red Wings on Tuesday or a 2-1 overtime win against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Friday.
Pastrnak has scored 71 points (38 goals, 33 assists) in 69 games this season.
Hampus Lindholm will miss his second straight game because of a lower-body injury.
The defenseman has four assists in seven games with the Bruins since he was acquired in a trade with the Anaheim Ducks on March 19.
"We were hoping maybe by the end of the week but they are not ready," Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy said after practice Saturday.

This is interesting. Buffalo usually plays motivated against the Leafs anyway. I'm not sure if this is a great idea throwing the kid into his first NHL game against a standing rival. It would say a lot about his makeup if he plays and performs well. But I think there is potential downside to the kid's psyche if the Leafs run up the score in the game.

Popcorn and Molson for this game

Winnipeg / Montreal only game tonight .

The NHL suspended Penguins star Evgeni Malkin a whopping four games for cross-checking Predators defenseman Mark Borowiecki.

3 games for Wednesday night

Rangers at Philly both teams on back-to-backs, there is some sentiment this could be an emotional let down game for Rangers after losing at home to the team they are chasing for the division (Carolina).

Philly lost 9-2 at Washington. Could they bring forth enough pride to play a tougher game tonight?

Washington trying to climb out of wild card, bringing their 4 game win streak on the road to Toronto tonight. Leafs too far back from red hot Panthers will still want to put more distance between themselves and the Lightning.

[yisman]

During Tuesday night's game between the Wild and Oilers, Minnesota forward Ryan Hartman gestured the middle finger to Edmonton's Evander Kane, resulting in Hartman getting hit with a $4,250 fine from the league. It should be noted that Kane is not exactly the most loved player in the league, as he has been connected to a few controversies in the past.
With the being said, many are supporting Hartman flipping off Kane -- including Kane's own ex-wife, Anna Kane.

Canucks win again. Get that wild card!

I bet Vancouver wish they hired Bruce Boudreau sooner. Sad news about Mike Bossy.

There's talk in Vancouver that they might not bring Boudreau back for next season. The Canucks have a year option remaining on his contract.

Rumour is Paul Maurice as being a possibility.

Damn only 65 years old .

RIP Mike Bossy
