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.

Evander Kane isn't likely to play Thursday

Evander Kane (lower body) probably won't play on Thursday.

"That would be safe to say," said Jets coach Claude Noel on Wednesday. "We should have a little better idea of where we stand (by) tomorrow." Kane also missed Monday's game due to the ailment. He has seven goals and 14 points in 26 games this season.

Mathieu Perreault sidelined at least 2 games

Mathieu Perreault will miss at least two games due to a lower-body injury.

Perreault won't travel with the Ducks for their games in Chicago on Friday and St. Louis on Sunday. "My strength is not all the way there," Perreault said. "I'm a guy that relies on my skating. When it's not there, it's hard to really be myself on the ice." He has five goals and 15 points in 28 games this season.

Mikael Granlund is temporarily shut down

Mikael Granlund (concussion) has been shut down for now.

Granlund has only played in one of Minnesota's last six games. "We're going to keep him off right now," Wild coach Mike Yeo said. "He skated the other day and we're at the point now where lets just take some time off here and make sure we get this right." Yeo added that at the moment, Granlund isn't making any progress.

Sergei Bobrovsky is out four-to-five weeks

Sergei Bobrovsky is expected to miss the next four-to-five weeks with a strained groin.

Bobrovsky hasn't exactly been great this season with his 2.72 GAA and .909 save percentage in 23 games. Even still, this is a huge blow for Columbus, not because of what he's did in October and November, but for what they had hoped he could do moving forward. The Blue Jackets are hungry to advance to the playoffs and their team needs Bobrovsky to be excellent perhaps more than almost any other squad relies on their number one goaltender. Now they'll have to try and stay in the battle for a playoff spot without him.

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 underperformed 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 rise 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.
