Hat trick for Marchand last night vs Canadiens.

Marchand didn't make all star team despite being in scoring's top 10, with an average of 1.5 points per game.

The Russians are again favored to win gold after beating Germany in the 2018 final, thanks to the talent coming from the home-based Kontinental Hockey League that will shut down for the Olympics. The lack of NHL players throws even more uncertainty into the competition and the U.S., Canada, Finland and Sweden are all thinking they have a realistic chance of winning.

Connor McDavid revealed that he’s indifferent to public opinion Wednesday regarding the Edmonton Oilers potentially pursuing Evander Kane as a free agent.
"Right now, it's all speculation," McDavid told reporters on Wednesday. "Obviously, Evander is an amazing player and he's had lots of success over the last couple of years. Whatever else is going on, it's not something I look into much."
"I’m not really here to discuss optic issues. If fans don’t like it, or the media doesn’t like it, or whatever. It is what it is.”

Jack LaFontaine signed a one-year, entry-level contract with the Carolina Hurricanes on Sunday. He will be paid $750,000 at the NHL level and $70,000 at the American Hockey League level through the end of this season.

LaFontaine, a third-round pick (No. 75) by the Hurricanes at the 2016 NHL Draft, is turning pro in the middle of the college hockey season with the University of Minnesota. The 24-year-old goalie from Mississauga, Ontario, was 12-8-0 with a 2.69 goals-against average and a .900 save percentage in 20 games.

He was with Michigan when they drafted him, then Penticton, Minnesota and now the pros, good to see!

Nice comeback by the Avalanche today which was doubly nice for me as I bet Avalanche team total over and the full game over.

Nice , I thought the Leafs had that game .

[BarkingToad]

LOL, Washington had a 2-0 lead, delayed penalty on Minnesota, Caps pull goalie and scored on their own goal length of the ice. Capitals lost in shootout.

Evander Kane's tumultuous run with the San Jose Sharks is over. The Sharks placed Kane on unconditional waivers Saturday with the intent to terminate the rest of his seven-year, $49 million deal.
San Jose said it made the decision because Kane breached the NHL standard player contract and the AHL's COVID-19 protocols. Kane joined the Sharks' AHL team, the Barracuda, late November after serving a 21-game suspension for submitting a fake vaccine card to the NHL.
