Anthony Cirelli, who left Game 1 in Tampa Bay’s first-round matchup against Florida, was back in the lineup for Game 2 in his usual spot on the second line. It didn’t really make much of a difference, though, as Florida shut out Tampa Bay by a 2-0 score on the back of a 19-save performance [...]

The Pittsburgh Penguins announced that defenceman Kris Letang will undergo surgery to fix a hole in his heart which will carry a recovery timeline of at least a month.

Nikolaj Ehlers was not back in the lineup for the Winnipeg Jets on Monday night after missing Saturday’s game in Utah. The good news for the Jets is he was a game-time decision and was at morning skate, so it seems as if he's very close to returning, at any rate. A positive sign for [...]
