NHL Thread Because There Isn't An NHL Thread

Pittsburgh Penguins star Evgeni Malkin underwent successful surgery on his right knee, the team announced Friday.

He's expected to be unavailable for training camp in September, and there isn't currently a definitive timetable for his return.

Malkin suffered the injury after a collision in a contest against the Boston Bruins on March 16. As a result, he missed the final six weeks of the regular season and the first two games of the postseason.

The 34-year-old racked up eight goals and 20 assists in 33 regular-season games this campaign and chipped in five points in the four playoff games he appeared in.

The seats I have at the Bell Centre are even higher than that and I love them. You get a great view of the whole rink without any dead spots along the boards. You need to sit close a few times to get a good feel for the speed and power of the game, but the ensemble view is where it's at. It's no wonder broadcast booths are usually high up too (they're actually suspended from the ceiling at the Bell Centre).

Good game!
 
The Canadian government has approved a travel exemption for the final two rounds of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, allowing teams to cross the Canada-United States border without requiring quarantine, according to CBC News.

Players will live in a modified quarantine bubble and won't have any access to the general public. They will also be subject to daily COVID-19 testing.

Cross-border travel between Canada and the United States has been restricted throughout the pandemic. Last summer, the NHL staged the Stanley Cup Playoffs with strict COVID policies in place in separate bubbles in Toronto and Edmonton.

This season, teams did not play opponents outside their divisions in an effort to limit travel. The seven Canadian teams resided in the North Division.

The Montreal Canadiens and Winnipeg Jets are the two Canadian teams alive in the playoff picture, with the Habs holding a 2-0 series lead. The winner of the second-round clash will take on the winner of the Colorado Avalanche-Vegas Golden Knights series in Round 3.
 
Teams are calling the Buffalo Sabres with interest in captain Jack Eichel and multiple other players, TSN's Darren Dreger reports.

The conversations are expected to progress leading up to the July 23 draft when Buffalo will pick first overall, Dreger adds.

Eichel's future with the Sabres organization has been a major talking point since a rocky end-of-season interview in which the superstar revealed he's upset with the club's handling of his neck injury and that he's looking forward to next season "wherever that may be."

The 24-year-old sustained a herniated disc in his neck in March, which caused him to miss the remainder of the campaign. Eichel implied in May that he wished to undergo surgery, but the team wouldn't allow it.

General manager Kevyn Adams addressed the situation a few days after Eichel's comments, saying Buffalo will proceed with "the people who want to be here."

Eichel has five more seasons on his current contract at $10 million per and has a full no-movement clause kicking in for the 2022-23 season. The dynamic center has notched 355 points in 375 games since the Sabres drafted him second overall in 2015.

Buffalo finished 31st in the NHL this past campaign, extending its playoff drought to 10 seasons.

Ok, broadcasters. Find a new phrase, because so help me, one more reference to a “juicy rebound” and I’m done. I swear I hear that at least half a dozen times in every game plus the intermission reports. ENOUGH.
