The sight of Braden Holtby charging out of his net clearly flustered Mitch Marner. With the Toronto Maple Leafs rookie busting out of the penalty box and in all alone, the Washington Capitals goaltender made a split-second decision to abandon his crease and slide to knock the puck away from Marner. Two nights later, Ottawa Senators goaltender Craig Anderson didn't wait for Boston Bruins star Brad Marchand to take a shot, diving out of his crease to poke the puck away. Continue to Article

Over the past three weeks, Ottawa Senators defenseman Erik Karlsson has continued to look more and more valuable, which is saying a lot for one of inarguably the league's most indispensable players. Ottawa holds a 3-1 series lead against the Boston Bruins in their first-round Eastern Conference series, and the Senators captain and star defenseman has played a leading role. Over the their final 16 games of the season-a 6-6-4 stretch-Ottawa's vice grip on playoff spot began to slip, and Karlsson missed five of those games due to injury. Continue to Article

MARCH 09: Erik Karlsson #65 of the Ottawa Senators awaits a face off during the first period of the NHL game against the Arizona Coyotes at Gila River Arena on March 9, 2017 in Glendale, Arizona. After all these years, you’re starting to see the big names in hockey media look at each other and say to themselves, “Maybe this Erik Karlsson guy is one of the three or five best players in the world.” And sure, this is an argument you could have first advanced several years ago, but you’d have been laughed out of the room.

Sabres owner Terry Pegula will address the media tomorrow morning — and, boy, will Buffalo reporters have some questions for him. Pegula cleaned house today, firing general manager Tim Murray and head coach Dan Bylsma. The moves came after Pegula met with Murray, who’d just held his own press conference last week. Murray had hinted that ownership may demand changes. “There’s going to be a review, top to bottom,” he said. “I have to meet with ownership next week in Florida. I’m sure I’m going to be reviewed. I’m sure I’m being reviewed right now, as I should be.” Still, today’s announcement came as a surprise. Most observers felt that perhaps Bylsma would be relieved of his duties. But Murray Continue to Article

Minnesota head coach Bruce Boudreau was happy, quite obviously, with his team’s 2-0 win over the Blues on Wednesday night — the Wild’s first victory of the series. But he wasn’t happy with the way it ended. On Thursday, Boudreau sounded off on St. Louis captain Alex Pietrangelo for a hit on Zach Parise with time expiring. “It was cheap,” Boudreau said, per Wild radio host Kevin Falness. “It was cheap. They knew the game was over, there was one second left. “If this was 1984 or ’78, that guy would’ve had a stick right in his face. But they don’t do that anymore.” Pietrangelo wasn’t penalized for the hit, which set off a fairly large scrum to end the contest. Today’s remarks could be seen as further Continue to Article
