Jared Boll and Jackets talking contract

The Blue Jackets and Jared Boll have begun contract negotiations.

Boll will be a restricted free agent on July 1st and the Blue Jackets seem to be interested in retaining his services. That said, it is doubtful anything will be finalized before next weekend's entry draft as the Jackets are focussed on trading Rick Nash.

Leafs' Phil Kessel is questionable Thursday

Phil Kessel couldn't complete Wednesday's practice due to an undisclosed injury.

Maple Leafs coach Randy Carlyle wasn't sure if Kessel would be available on Thursday. He has 15 goals and 25 points in 28 games this season and is currently on a four-game point streak. Kessel is an elite scorer, but also a streaky one, so having this potentially disrupt a hot patch is a tough pill to swallow.

Peter Budaj will get the nod Wednesday

Just to confirm, Peter Budaj will play between the pipes on Wednesday.

It will be Budaj's second start in Montreal's last four games. He has a 1.63 GAA and .939 save percentage, but has been limited to just six contests behind starting goaltender Carey Price.

Calgary gets Mark Giordano back Wednesday

Mark Giordano (ankle) will return to the Flames' lineup on Wednesday.

Before Giordano broke his ankle, he was off to an incredible start with two goals and nine points in eight games. He also averaged 25:03 minutes per game and was one of the big reasons the Flames got off to a 4-2-2 start. They have gone 5-11-2 during his absence.

Henrik Lundqvist inks a seven-year extension

Henrik Lundqvist has agreed to a seven-year/$59.5 million contract extension with the New York Rangers.

Lundqvist has under performed so far in 2013-14 with a 2.51 GAA and .917 save percentage, but this is a deal the Rangers still needed to make. He's been their most important player for most of his career and he's about as safe a bet as you can find in a goaltender. He would have been an unrestricted free agent this summer and this deal will increase his cap hit from about $6.9 million to $8.5 million. That's not bad for a player of Lundqvist's caliber, especially when you consider that the cap is projected to raise significantly in the coming years.

Mark Giordano might make his return Wednesday

Mark Giordano (ankle) might play in Wednesday's game.

"Gio looked very good (Tuesday) and I asked him after practice and he had zero pain," Flames coach Bob Hartley of Giordano. Hartley also specifically said that there was a "strong possibility" of Giordano returning Wednesday. He's an all-around superb defenseman and had nine points in eight games before getting hurt, so the Flames would naturally be thrilled to get him back.

Ryan Getzlaf's point streak reaches 11 games

Ryan Getzlaf is on an 11-game goal scoring streak.

Getzlaf found the back of the net in Anaheim's 3-2 shootout loss on Tuesday to keep that streak alive. He has 14 goals and 32 points in 27 games this season. Obviously he couldn't be much hotter right now and he's likely to cool off eventually, but it's looking more and more plausible that he'll surpass the 80-point mark for the third time in his career.

Stars may get Tyler Seguin back on Thursday

Tyler Seguin (concussion) might be available to play Thursday.

"He's doing well," coach Lindy Ruff said. "He did really well [Monday], he'll be the one guy who will skate [Wednesday], and there's a possibility he could play in Toronto." Seguin has missed the Stars' last two games because of concussion-like symptoms.

Tyler Bozak tried to play through UBI Tuesday

Tyler Bozak tried to return from his upper-body injury Tuesday night, but he wasn't able to play through it.

He exited the game early in the second, but returned to play a few shifts prior to sitting out the third. The Leafs center had an assist in 12:33 of ice time versus San Jose. Coach Randy Carlyle didn't know the severity of the ailment after the contest, so consider Bozak day-to-day for now.

Kari Lehtonen breaks skid in big way Tuesday

Dallas Stars goalie Kari Lehtonen carried his team to a 4-3 victory against the Chicago Blackhawks 4-3 on Tuesday.

Lehtonen stopped 47 out of 50 shots to break a four-game losing streak. He's now 11-5-4 on the season with a nice .928 save percentage and 2.22 GAA. One can only imagine if Lehtonen played for an elite team, rather than the bad-to-mediocre ones he's played behind in Atlanta and now Dallas.

Sidney Crosby scores twice in Penguins' win

Pittsburgh Penguins stars Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin continue to dominate, as they powered a 3-2 OT win against the New York Islanders on Tuesday.

Crosby's OT game-winner gives him 15 goals (and 38 points) in 29 games this season. Malkin remains red-hot, as he collected two assists and hasn't been held off the scoresheet since late October. Pittsburgh has four straight wins.

Sergei Bobrovsky suffers LBI Tuesday night

Sergei Bobrovsky was credited with the win on Tuesday despite leaving in the third period with a lower-body injury.

Bobrovsky left four minutes into the third period after stopping 18 of 18 shots. Curtis McElhinney was perfect in relief (eight saves). We'll see if McElhinney might get a longer look, as the severity of Bobrovsky's issue is unclear.
