That's Wild On Monday, the NHL announced that Ryan Hartman's suspension of 10 games to just eight. Now, the Minnesota Wild forward is eligible to return to the ice March 4 against the Seattle Kraken.
Less likely, but the Kraken should listen to offers – Jaden Schwartz, Eeli Tolvanen, Jamie Oleksiak and Vince Dunn. Jacob Stoller: Have been hearing that the Kraken could make forward Jared McCann available. He’s got two years left at a $5 million cap hit. He can score, kills penalties, and can play wing and center.
Kevin Kurz of The Athletic: (mailbag) It does make some sense that the Philadelphia Flyers would be interested in a top-line center like Elias Pettersson but he does come with some big question marks. He’s also got an $11.6 million cap hit for seven more years. All things considered, that’s likely too much for the Flyers.
The return of one of their lineup pillars will be great news in Pittsburgh. Malkin has continued to perform at a world-class level this year, with his 34 points in 47 games ranked fifth on the team in total scoring. In even better news, Malkin went on to emphasize to Rossi that he has no intentions of retiring this summer or playing anywhere else.
Crosby, signed through 2026-27, has repeatedly said he will play only for the Penguins. He and Malkin are the franchise leaders in games played and join Lemieux as the only players in franchise history to win the Hart and Conn Smythe trophies and multiple scoring titles.
Florida Panthers forward Matthew Tkachuk, who sustained a lower-body injury during Team USA's run to the 4 Nations Face-Off finale, will not play Saturday against the Seattle Kraken, coach Paul Maurice said Friday.
Chychrun beat Alex Nedeljokvic twice in less than four minutes to break open a tie game. Aliaksei Protas and Tom Wilson pushed Washington's lead to 6-2 by the end of the period as the Metropolitan Division-leading Capitals improved to 13-1-6 in their last 20 games.
The Edmonton Oilers may have an ideal trade partner sitting right in their division with the Seattle Kraken.
