St. Louis edges closer to playing in Europe

Martin St. Louis is edging closer to playing in Europe.

"I want to play," St. Louis said. "I need to play. If it's not here, I'll be playing somewhere. I don't know when that date is, but every day I wake up, I'm closer to that date." With the entirety of the November scheduled canceled, St. Louis and other players that were on the fence before are far more likely to head to Europe now.

Derick Brassard enjoys line switch

Ranger coach John Tortorella's line shuffle in the third period of Game 4 Thursday night was a boon to center Derick Brassard.

Tortorella moved Brassard between Carl Hagelin and Ryan Callahan while shifting Derek Stepan between Chris Kreider and Rick Nash. The effect of this shuffle was that Zdeno Chara played when the Stepan line was on the ice giving Brassard and his unit a little more room without the 6'7" defender in their way. It will be interesting to see if Tortorella can continue to ice this alignment without the last change in Boston Saturday night.

Bruins PP better since Krug promotion

The Boston power play has been much improved since the promotion of Torey Krug.

Against the Rangers in the second round the Bruins are 3 for 9 with the man advantage and Krug has scored two of those goals. "I think that we’re just not passing up those good opportunities," Krug said. "You’d see sometimes in the past we’d be passing the puck and we’d want to make that extra pass. But this time, we’re shooting pucks, we’re getting pucks to the net and guys are taking away Henrik (Lundqvist)’s ice." If Krug is available in your playoff pool and you have the ability to make roster changes you may want to consider picking him up.

Neal's 3G help Penguins advance to ECF

James Neal notched a hat trick to help the Penguins advance to the Eastern Conference final with a 6-2 win over the Senators on Friday night.

Beyond the 4-1 series win, the best sign for the Penguins is that their sniper has found his mark of late, recording five of his six playoff goals over the past two games. Neal also added an assist as the Penguins proved to be too talented and far too deep for the Senators to contend with. After missing Game 4 because of an undisclosed injury, Brenden Morrow returned and scored the game's first goal early in the first period. Kris Letang potted a goal and had two assists, while Evgeni Malkin got a marker and a helper. Rest might be the only thing that could slow this team down as the dangerous Penguins have now scored 13 goals over their last two tilts.

Eric Staal 'hopes' to ride bike next week

Eric Staal (knee) "hopes" to ride on the stationary bike by next week, according to Carolina general manager Jim Rutherford.

Staal suffered a third-degree, right-knee sprain of his MCL as the result of a knee-on-knee collision at the IIHF World Championships. He's expected to need three months to rehab the injury, and this is a very good first sign that he's feeling better.

Phoenix Coyotes lock up GM Don Maloney

GM Don Maloney has agreed to a long-term contract extension with the Phoenix Coyotes.

"We are very pleased that Don has agreed to sign a long-term contract extension with the Coyotes," said NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly. "Since joining the team in 2007, Don has done an outstanding job managing his team and building a competitive roster that has produced on the ice, even given less than ideal circumstances off the ice. The NHL remains committed to securing the Coyotes' future in Glendale under new ownership, and we believe Don's long-term agreement evidences that he is equally committed." Under Maloney's leadership, the Coyotes have achieved on-ice success despite difficult and unique circumstances. Although the team missed the playoffs in the shortened season, the Coyotes made it to the Western Conference finals for the first time in their franchise's history in 2012.

Report: KHL team is pursuing Sergei Bobrovsky

SKA Saint Petersburg of the Kontinental Hockey League is reportedly willing to pay big money to sign Sergei Bobrovsky.

Bobrovsky is scheduled to become a restricted free agent this summer. Although it's unlikely that Saint Petersburg will succeed in its goal of inking Bobrovsky, this should give the goaltender more leverage when he's negotiating with the Columbus Blue Jackets. It's worth adding that Bobrovsky played for Saint Petersburg during the lockout and had a 1.94 GAA and .932 save percentage in 24 KHL games.

Quick is Kings' franchise playoff wins leader

With Thursday's victory, Jonathan Quick is the Kings' all-time leader in postseason wins.

Quick has won 27 career playoff contests and surpassed Kelly Hrudey. "Obviously what Kelly meant to this organization 20 years ago was pretty impressive, everything he accomplished here," Quick said. He added, "He’s very competitive and hated to lose, obviously. Being able to pass him on that list, obviously it’s an accomplishment, but obviously wins are a team accomplishment, so you've got to give credit to the guys you played with." He also earned his seventh playoff shutout on Thursday, which puts him in a five-way tie for 18th place in the NHL's all-time leaderboard. Quick has become an amazing postseason goaltender with a 1.96 GAA and .932 save percentage.

Torts defends decision to bench Brad Richards

New York Rangers coach vehemently defended his decision to scratch a healthy Brad Richards before Thursday’s Game 4.

"This is a Conn Smythe winner, a guy I’ve grown up with, a guy that I love as a person and a player, but I have to make that decision regarding this. So kiss my ass if you want to run something different. It’s not about blaming that guy, and I don’t want anyone to pile on," Tortorella said after New York’s 4-3 overtime win. Torts also called Richards "a hell of a hockey player" and said he had to make the decision because keeping the struggling Richards on the fourth line doesn’t help either party, which we kind of agree with. It remains to be seen if Richards will be back in the lineup for Saturday’s Game 5.

Brian Boyle snaps Rangers' power-play drought

Brian Boyle's goal 10 minutes into the third period Wednesday night ended the New York Rangers' 0-for-12 drought on the power play.

That number doesn't even really begin to describe it. Prior to Boyle's goal, the Rangers were an abysmal 2-for-39 with the man advantage this postseason. Not only did Boyle's goal finally make an opponent pay for putting the Rangers on the power play, but it stood up as the tying goal and eventually sent the game into overtime, where Chris Kreider won it to force Game 5 in Boston on Saturday.
