Report: Salary cap remains a stumbling block

The Canadian Press' Chris Johnston reports that the NHL and NHLPA still aren't seeing eye-to-eye on the 2013-14 salary cap.

The league still wants a $60 million one while the union is aiming for a $65 million ceiling (down from $67 million). Some might argue that the two sides should split the difference, but that's easier said than done.

Ryan Getzlaf is on a 15-game point streak

Ryan Getzlaf's point streak reached 15 games on Wednesday.

Getzlaf had an assist in Anaheim's 2-1 win over Minnesota, giving him 16 goals and 38 points in 31 games. That puts him in a tie for third place in the NHL scoring race with Evgeni Malkin. He's currently on pace to reach the century mark for the first time in his career and while we think he'll slow down marginally, there's still a decent chance he'll best his career-high of 91 points.

Detroit puts Henrik Zetterberg (back) on LTIR

Henrik Zetterberg (back) has been placed on the long-term injured reserve list.

That means that Zetterberg won't be eligible to return before Dec. 28 at the earliest. He has 11 goals and 30 points in 28 games this season. Not counting the shortened season where he played in 46 of 48 contests, Zetterberg has taken part in at least 74 matches in five consecutive campaigns. That streak will end this season.

NHL suspends Jared Cowen for two games

Jared Cowen has received a two-game suspension for his high hit on Buffalo's Zemgus Girgensons on Tuesday.

The NHL ruled that Cowen could have avoided making Girgensons' head the principal point of contact. Girgensons didn't suffer an injury as a result of the hit and Cowen didn't have a suspension history prior to this incident. Both of those factors likely worked in Cowen's favor. He'll be eligible to return on Monday

Top prospect Ryan Strome to make NHL debut

Ryan Strome has been called up by the New York Islanders.

Strome has nine goals and an AHL-leading 33 points in 23 games with the Bridgeport Sound Tigers this season. He will make his NHL debut on Thursday. As is the case with any rookie, he's a big gamble in single-season leagues, but one worth taking if you have a spot to spare. Strome has a tremendous amount of offensive upside and the Islanders could certainly use a guy like him to provide them with some secondary scoring.

Martin Jones will probably start Wednesday

Martin Jones is projected to get the nod against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Wednesday.

It would have been fun to see Ben Scrivens play against Jonathan Bernier, given that those goaltenders were involved in the same trade over the summer. At the same time, you can't fault the Kings for going with Jones. The rookie goaltender has earned back-to-back shutouts, giving him a 0.65 GAA and .973 save percentage in three career games.

Joffrey Lupul (groin) will return Wednesday

Joffrey Lupul (groin) has been given the green light to return to Toronto's lineup Wednesday night.

Lupul was sidelined for seven consecutive games. He's been great over the last few seasons when he's healthy, but injuries have consistently hindered his fantasy value.

Ray Emery will get the nod against Chicago

Ray Emery will start against the Chicago Blackhawks tonight.

Emery won the Stanley Cup last season while serving as the Blackhawks' backup goaltender. He has a 2.57 GAA and .908 save percentage in 10 games this season.

Tim Thomas is on a three-game winning streak

Don't look now but Tim Thomas is now on a three-game winning streak.

Thomas has stopped 75 out of 80 shots in that span, improving his overall record to 9-10-1 with a .909 save percentage and 2.75 GAA. He stopped 24 out of 26 shots to help Florida win 3-2 via a shootout against Detroit on Tuesday. Thomas is worth monitoring, at minimum.

Antoine Roussel has another monster game

Antoine Roussel made his presence felt even as the Dallas Stars lost to the Chicago Blackhawks 6-2.

Roussel scored both goals for Dallas and now has five points in his last five games. The France native had an impressive night overall with 16 PIMs, 3 SOG, and 9 hits. He also ended the night +2. He's worth adding, even short-term, in many formats.

Martin Jones notches another shutout

Little-known Los Angeles Kings goalie Martin Jones now has two straight shutouts as his team trashed the Montreal Canadiens 6-0 on Tuesday.

He's won all three of his starts. It's clear that Jones has a chance to push Ben Scrivens for starts (which isn't to say that Scrivens is playing poorly). This stunning play makes it much easier to stomach Jonathan Quick's injury situation.
