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.

Jaden Schwartz gone for at least four weeks

Jaden Schwartz is out for a minimum of four weeks with an elbow injury.

This update is in contrast to Thursday's report when Blues coach Ken Hitchcock was optimistic that Schwartz wouldn't be absent for long. It's particularly unfortunate because Schwartz was limited to just 33 games last season, so this is becoming an unwanted trend with the young forward. When he is healthy though, he is a very effective forward.

Mattias Janmark out 5-6 months, needs surgery

Mattias Janmark needs knee surgery and will miss the next five-to-six months.

Janmark has a joint disorder called Osteochondritis dissecans. We don't know when he started experiencing symptoms, but he missed Thursday's practice and then was later seen using crutches. He had 15 goals and 29 points in 73 games last season. Unfortunately this is just the latest and worst development in what has been a rough preseason for Dallas on the injury front.

Sidney Crosby named MVP of World Cup

Sidney Crosby was named the MVP of the 2016 World Cup of Hockey.

It's been a pretty good year for Crosby, as he won the Stanley Cup with Pittsburgh and was named the Conn Smythe trophy winner (playoff MVP) during that run. The Penguins captain finishes the tournament with three goals and 10 points in six World Cup games. The players on Canada's top line (Crosby, Brad Marchand, Patrice Bergeron) scored the opening goal in five of their team's six games.

Team Canada wins the World Cup of Hockey

Brad Marchand's game-winning goal clinched the World Cup of Hockey for Team Canada, as they defeated Team Europe 2-1 on Thursday.

Team Canada looked sluggish this evening and found themselves down 1-0 until Patrice Bergeron scored a power play goal with under three minutes remaining in regulation. Marchand followed that up by scoring a shorthanded goal with 43 seconds left in the third period. Marchand has a fantastic tournament for Canada. The 28-year-old scored two goals in the semifinal against Russia, a goal and an assist in Game 1 of the final and the game-winning goal in tonight's game.

Mike Hoffman scores twice in OT win

Mike Hoffman scored a pair of goals in Thursday's 4-3 OT win over the Montreal Canadiens.

Hoffman's second period goal gave the Senators a 3-2 lead and he scored the game-winner 19 seconds into overtime. The 26-year-old scored 29 goals and 59 points in 78 games last season. He's scored 56 goals in his first two full NHL seasons. Matt Puempel and Bobby Ryan also scored for Ottawa on Thursday.

Brayden Point scores 2nd preseason goal

Brayden Point scored in Thursday's 2-0 preseason win over the Florida Panthers.

Point, who's one of Tampa Bay's top prospects, has now scored in back-to-back exhibition games. The Lightning are loaded with depth up front, but it'll be interesting to see if Point can force his way onto the roster. The 20-year-old scored an incredible 88 points in 48 games with WHL Moose Jaw.

Andrew Shaw suspended for 3 preseason games

Andrew Shaw has been suspended for three preseason games for boarding Connor Hobbs from behind.

That's not likely to impact Shaw any, even from the perspective of getting ready for the regular season. Montreal still has five preseason games left, so even with Shaw missing the next three, he'll still have time to get in some additional work before the season opener.

Aaron Ekblad had whiplash, not a concussion

Although there was some concern that Aaron Ekblad suffered a concussion during the World Cup, that wasn't the final diagnosis.

Ekblad was dealing with concussion-like symptoms, but what it turned out to be was whiplash. "The way I was told, it was about blood flow," Ekblad said. "When you get whiplash like that, there's restricted blood flow to the head and that causes systems because the blood doesn't drain out of head as fast. That's why you get symptoms without it being a concussion." While an injury is never good news, the fact that it wasn't a concussion has to come as a relief, especially after he dealt with one in January. He took part in Thursday's morning skate.

Dowd scores twice in Kings rout of Ducks

Nic Dowd scored two goals in a 6-1 rout of the Anaheim Ducks by the Los Angeles Kings Wednesday night.

Dowd scored the first goal at the 8:22 minute mark and buried his second puck in the net 18:02 minutes into the second to put the game essentially out of reach. Devin Setoguchi, Justin Auger, Dustin Brown, and Andy Andreoff also got in on the action.

Faksa came to play against Avalanche

The Dallas Stars’ Radek Faksa came to play against the Colorado Avalanche, but back-to-back goals in the second period were not enough to lift his team. Dallas lost the 4-2 preseason decision Wednesday night.

Faksa played 45 games with the Stars last year scoring five goals in the process with seven assists. His time in the AHL was more productive with 15 goals and 11 assists in 28 games. Faksa’s two goals Wednesday night came in a flurry, only seven seconds into the second period with another following at the 3:30 minute mark. Unfortunately, he did not get any help and his two goals were the only scored by the Stars.

Chris Kunitz scores twice in preseason win

Chris Kunitz scored a pair of goals in Wednesday's 2-0 win over the Chicago Blackhawks.

Kunitz opened the scoring with a power play goal at the 2:31 mark of the third period and added his second of the game less than seven minutes later. The 37-year-old has seen his numbers dip quite a bit over the last couple of years and it's unlikely they'll climb higher this season. Kunitz will only be a fantasy option in deeper leagues.
