Brad Richards demoted to third line in loss

Brad Richards was demoted to the third line during Thursday night's shootout loss to the Ottawa Senators.

The demotion comes after coach John Tortorella benched Richards for almost the entire third period of last Thursday's game against the Islanders. "We don’t have enough guys playing," Tortorella said after the game. Richards has just two goals and 11 points in 16 games this season and has struggled with giveaways this season. His contract and his skill set means he'll keep getting chances on the top lines, but Torts isn't exactly a patient man.

Matt Murray out 3-6 weeks with broken hand

The Penguins have announced that Matt Murray will be out "three-to-six week" with a broken hand.

The injury came during Team North America's bout with Team Russia, which may help explain why he gave up four goals in a little over six minutes during the second period. Needless to say, Marc-Andre Fleury will enter the season as Pittsburgh's starter. Expect Murray to return between mid-October and early-November.

P.K. Subban to miss start of training camp

P.K. Subban will miss the start of training camp because of some general soreness.

"I've just been a little bit sore lately, so we're just going to take our time and make sure," Subban said. "I came in a couple days to skate early. Just a little bit sore, so we're going to see how I feel." This doesn't sound like a serious injury, so don't expect Subban to miss too much time. This shouldn't affect his draft position in standard fantasy leagues.

Alexander Steen inks four-year extension

Alexander Steen has agreed to a four-year, $23 million contract extension with the St. Louis Blues.

Steen still has one season left on his three-year, $17.4 million deal, so the Blues have secured him through 2020-21 with this new contract. With this deal Steen is taking a relatively minor annual pay cut of $50,000. "St. Louis has become home. I've been here eight years," Steen said. "I've gotten to know a lot of people within hockey and outside hockey here. We seem to be spending less and less time in Sweden to make sure we get our time in here as well. It's been an incredible journey and St. Louis is definitely somewhere I see as home now." He had 17 goals, 35 points, and 52 penalty minutes in 67 contests last season. He's currently recovering from a shoulder injury, but is expected to be fine for the season opener.

Scott Hartnell reactivates no-movement clause

Scott Hartnell has reactivated his no-movement clause.

Hartnell agreed to waive it two months ago, but with training camp underway he contacted Blue Jackets GM Jarmo Kekalainen to inform him that he would no longer accept a trade. "I put it to rest with Jarmo," Hartnell said. "I said I'm coming back and I'm not having this over my head during training camp and the first month of the season. I have a no-move for a reason, and it's there for me now. (Kekalainen) had the opportunity and trade me and things didn't work out." Hartnell is playing through a six-year, $28.5 million deal that will expire in 2019. He had 23 goals, 49 points, and 112 penalty minutes in 79 contests in 2015-16.

Freddie Hamilton agrees to two-year extension

Freddie Hamilton has inked a two-year, $1.225 million deal with the Calgary Flames.

Hamilton is set to make $575,000 this season and $650,000 in 2017-18. The deal is one-way, so he won't take a pay cut even if he ends up in the minors. He had a goal and an assist in four contests with Calgary last season along with 18 goals and 43 points in 62 AHL games.

Tyler Seguin won't rush back from heel injury

Tyler Seguin (heel) will be re-evaluated Tuesday or Wednesday when the team returns to Frisco.

He worked hard during the summer to recover from a partially severed Achilles tendon and a subsequent calf injury only to suffer a heel injury during an exhibition game for Canada at the World Cup of Hockey. "I want to be 100 percent before I come back, I know that," Seguin said when asked if he would be ready for the season opener. "Time is on our side."

USA end disappointing World Cup without a win

Ryan McDonagh scored in Team USA's 4-3 loss to the Czech Republic on Thursday night.

What an embarrassing display of hockey for Team USA throughout this tournament. They exit the World Cup having scored just five goals and finishing with a 0-3 record. McDonagh finishes the tournament as his team's leading goal scorer (two goals), while big names like Patrick Kane, Max Pacioretty, Blake Wheeler, Zach Parise and Blake Wheeler didn't find the back of the net at all in the tournament. It's back to the drawing board for USA Hockey.

Ladislav Smid will not play in 2016-17

Ladislav Smid (neck) will miss the entire 2016-17 campaign.

Smid had no points in 22 games last season. He has just one season left on his four-year, $14 million contract with the Calgary Flames, so it wouldn't be surprising if he's played in his last game with the club. The question is if he's played in his last game entirely. The fact that he's been ruled out for the entire season in September speaks to the seriousness of his condition, but he's still just 30 years old.

Joffrey Lupul starts camp on injured reserve

Joffrey Lupul began training camp on the injured reserve list.

Lupul underwent sports hernia surgery in February and hasn't played since. "It is with deep regret that I will be unable to attend training camp and start the season with the Leafs due to injury," Lupul said. "I pledge to work hard with a view to return to playing this season. Hockey is the only life I have known. This is an extremely emotional time for me. Accordingly, I will not be making any further comment at this time." Lupul rehabbed over the summer, but has experienced discomfort while skating. The decision for him to start on the injured reserve was made after he went through the team's physical. It's not clear how long he'll be out for.
