That's a critical win for the Czech Republic after losing to Sweden in their opening match. The Czech Republic will play Latvia on Sunday in a game their expected to win and failure to do so could cost them entrance into the Final round. Meanwhile, Finland and Switzerland will also compete on Sunday in a game that's vital for both countries.

Keith Ballard likely to be bought out

Look for the Vancouver Canucks to buy out the contract of Keith Ballard in the off-season.

The Canucks are up against the cap and should they buy out Ballard and trade Roberto Luongo, they will free up $9.5 million in cap space which will go a long way to signing the seven or eight players they will need next season to fill out their roster. Stay tuned.

Logan Couture says he'll be fine for Game 4

Logan Couture (leg) said that he will be fine to play in Game 4 Tuesday.

Couture suffered an apparent leg injury in the second period Saturday and finally returned to play near the end of the second. His return was a huge boost to the Sharks as he scored the overtime winner. Although he did not talk to the press after the game, he made the announcement leaving the dressing room. He was seen to be limping but as he stated, expect him to be in the Sharks lineup Tuesday. Couture is tied for fourth overall in points with 10, including four goals.

Trevor Lewis says he was pushed into Niemi

Trevor Lewis said 'something happened' when he was called for goaltender interference with five seconds remaining in regulation time.

The penalty put the Kings down two men heading into the overtime as the Sharks Patrick Marleau pushed him into Antti Niemi in the Sharks net. While the Kings killed off the first penalty, they were unable to handle the onslaught of the Sharks as Logan Couture scored at the 1:29 mark of overtime.

GM Wilson fined $100k for Torres' statement

Sharks GM Doug Wilson has been fined $100,000 for his comments following Raffi Torres' suspension.

Torres was suspended for what the NHL judged to be an illegal hit to the head on Jarret Stoll. Wilson offered his own rebuttal and said the NHL "made an inappropriate application" of Rule 48.1. $25,000 of Wilson's fine was actually automatic because the NHL doesn't allow teams to make a formal statement regarding a disciplinary decision in the 48 hours that immediately follow the ruling. The other $75,000 was because the NHL felt his comments were inappropriate.

Jason Spezza is expected to return Sunday

Jason Spezza (back) is ready to return to the Senators' lineup.

Look for Spezza to play on the top line in Game 3 on Sunday. The Ottawa Senators are down 2-0 in their second-round series against Pittsburgh, but getting Spezza back will be a huge boost. Although the Senators still might not make it past this round, he will help plenty of fantasy owners in playoff pools in the short term.

'Good chance' Martin Havlat returns Saturday

San Jose Sharks coach Todd McLellan said that there's a "good chance" Martin Havlat will play Saturday night.

It is not yet clear what line Havlat will play on, assuming that he ends up playing at all. The Saturday practice lines weren't altered to accommodate Havlat's potential return, but that's because Havlat informed the coaching staff of his availability after the morning skate.

Ottawa goalie pulled for 1st time this season

When Ottawa coach Paul MacLean pulled Craig Anderson early in the second period Friday night, it was the first time a Senators goalie did not finish a game he started for non-injury reasons this season.

That's a span of 55 games. It just demonstrates how good Ottawa goaltender has been this campaign to this point. That said, Anderson has not looked good in round two against the Penguins and we wouldn't be shocked if he is pulled again if he runs into trouble in Game 3.

Eric Staal has sprain, no surgery required

Eric Staal has sustained only a third-degree, right-knee sprain of his MCL that will not require surgery.

The MRI results are in and the news is as good as the Hurricanes could have hoped for. Staal will need three months to rehabilitate the injury but will not need to go under the knife. If all goes well, Staal should be good to go once training camp opens in September. All Staal owners in keeper leagues can exhale now.

Brad Richards has reached rock bottom

Brad Richards may have reached rock bottom.

Not only has he been demoted to the Rangers' fourth line, he was on the ice for only 9:59 at even strength Thursday night, the least amount of any Ranger skater. It is difficult to determine how Richards has fallen from star to marginal player so quickly. Some believe it has to do with the fact that the 33-year-old pivot did not play during the lockout. Whatever the reason, Richards is not currently relevant from a fantasy perspective.

Habs need to get bigger to compete

Look for the Canadiens to draft and/or acquire some bigger players this off-season.

The belief amongst Montreal management is that the team is fast enough to be competitive but lacks the size to defeat the bigger and more aggressive teams in the NHL. We expect the Habs will focus their attention on a number of the more physical free agents in the market and perhaps make a deal or two to bring in a power forward who can play on one of the team's top three lines and a rugged top six defenseman

Sidney Crosby's hat trick powers Game 2 win

Sidney Crosby had a hat trick to lead the Penguins over the Senators 4-3 in Game 2 of their second-round series Friday night.

The Penguins now hold a 2-0 lead in the series. Crosby notched his hat trick by 1:15 of the second period, showcasing his tools with great stick handling and speed, cleverness on the ice and a plus shot. It's not easy to stop the Penguins captain, but the Senators certainly could've done a better job being physical on him. Brenden Morrow potted what is considered the game-winning goal. Paul Martin and Kris Letang picked up two assists apiece. Matt Niskanen finished with a game-high plus-three rating, and he also had a helper. Chris Kunitz, James Neal and Evgeni Malkin also had assists.
