Kimmo Timonen re-signs with Philadelphia

Kimmo Timonen has signed a one-year extension with the Philadelphia Flyers.

The contract is reportedly worth $6 million, which would make sense given what sources have stated recently. Timonen will turn 38 in March, but he's still capable of being a major contributor. He has a $6,333,333 annual cap hit this season.

Jeff Skinner scores in third straight game

Jeff Skinner scored a goal in Carolina's 3-0 win over Washington.

The Hurricanes have consistently been one of the Eastern Conference's worst teams this season, so the fact that they were able to blank the Capitals is a little surprising. Carolina scored a goal in each of the three periods on Friday. Skinner has now scored a goal in each of his last three games. The 22-year-old has 16 goals and 25 points in 55 games this season. He was named the second star of the game. Carolina has now won three of their last four contests.

Niklas Svedberg leads BOS to victory on FRI

Niklas Svedberg stopped 29 of 31 shots in Friday's 3-2 overtime win over New Jersey.

The Bruins haven't had much faith in their backup goaltenders this season but Tuukka Rask was in desperate need of a night off. The Bruins placed their trust in Svedberg and he delivered on Friday night. Svedberg didn't give up a goal in the first two periods but he was beaten twice in the final frame. The 25-year-old's record improves to 6-5-0 and he has a 2.39 goals-against-average and a .917 save percentage this season.

Mark Giordano taking warm-ups on Long Island

Mark Giordano is taking warm-ups on Long Island on Friday night, indicating that he may play against the Islanders.

Well, this is a stunning turn of events if there ever was one. Players don't tend to take warm-ups if they're not intending to play, so take this as a positive sign. Giordano leads all defenders with 48 points and is a must-play in all formats.

Frederik Andersen should backup on Friday

Look for Frederik Andersen (neck) to serve as Anaheim's backup goaltender on Friday.

The Ducks have sent Jason LaBarbera to the minors, which they presumably wouldn't have done unless Andersen was ready to dress. John Gibson has already been tapped to serve as the starter on Friday, but Andersen will probably play between the pipes on Sunday.

Minnesota waives veteran Stephane Veilleux

Stephane Veilleux has been placed on waivers by the Minnesota Wild.

Veilleux has a goal and an assist in 12 games this season. The 33-year-old is a veteran of 506 NHL contests. He only comes with a $575,000 annual cap hit, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him claimed.
