Report: Fehr, Daly 'touched base' Saturday

NHLPA counsel Steve Fehr and NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly "touched base" on Saturday and are expected to talk again Sunday.

The two sides had an unannounced meeting Friday and Fehr and Daly talked Saturday to set up this coming week's negotiating schedule, according to ESPN's Pierre Lebrun. During Friday's meeting, the two sides were said to have emphasized the need to "compromise" and it was reported early Saturday that the players were working on a new proposal. While it appears we're still a ways away from a new collective-bargaining agreement, the positive to take away is that the owners and union are at least staying in touch with one another.

Jaroslav Halak out-duels Pekka Rinne for win

Jaroslav Halak allowed three goals on 31 shots as the Islanders topped the Nashville Predators 4-3 on Thursday night.

Halak improves to 34-13-1, just two wins shy of league-leader Carey Price and one short of Pekka Rinne, who he beat on Thursday. His .911 save percentage and 2.48 goals against average aren't quite in the league of the two goalies mentioned, but as long as he keeps scooping up the victories, Halak is one of the best fantasy goaltenders in the game right now.

Pekka Rinne continues mini-slump vs. NYI

Pekka Rinne couldn't handle the potent Islanders offense on Thursday night as he surrendered four goals on 26 shots for his fourth straight loss.

Rinne has allowed 14 goals in his past four games in what has been one of his worst stretches of the season so far. Nashville has faced tough competition though with Detroit, Minnesota and both New York teams providing the losses. He still has a marvelous 35-12-3 record with a .926 save percentage and 2.14 goals against average.

Jhonas Enroth earns first win in Dallas

Jhonas Enroth came in for a struggling Kari Lehtonen on Thursday night and earned the shootout victory over Florida by making 10 saves in regulation and another three in overtime.

Enroth came in just past the halfway point in the second period after Lehtonen had allowed three goals on 14 shots. A change in scenery was thought to be a boost to Enroth's stat line, but he's just 1-4 since joining Dallas with an .877 save percentage and 3.21 goals against average.

Tyler Seguin (knee) is ahead of schedule

Tyler Seguin (knee) skated with his teammates on Thursday for the first time.

He appears to be ahead of schedule in his recovery. "Tyler is really closing in on 'day to day' for us," coach Lindy Ruff said. "So I would say probably within a week...or sooner. It depends on how he responds to some heavy workouts here today and tomorrow." Seguin is feeling better but he knows he still has work to do. Still, it's encouraging to see that he's moving in the right direction.
