Wild send Jason Zucker to the minors

The Minnesota Wild have demoted Jason Zucker to Houston of the AHL.

The Wild sent Zucker down as he needs to play as a top-six forward and Pierre-Marc Bouchard took over his spot after Zucker got hit by Corey Perry, a hit that resulted in a four-game suspension for Perry and some time off for Zucker to recover. Expect to see Zucker back soon.

Beau Bennett returns to practice on Sunday

Beau Bennett (broken hand/wrist) finally returned to practice on Sunday.

Bennett has been out of action since November 22 when he has injured against the Islanders. Bennett practiced alongside with Brian Gibbons and Chris Conner who are also trying to recover from various injuries. Bennett thinks he can return in 10 days but coach Dan Bylsma said there is no current timetable for his return. The offensively minded Bennett has a goal and three points in 12 games this season.

Curtis McElhinney to get rare start on Monday

Curtis McElhinney will get the start in goal for Columbus on Monday.

This will be his first start in 12 games as coach Todd Richards has been using Sergei Bobrovsky exclusively as a starter since January 28. McElhinney is 8-9-1 this season, getting most of his starts when Bobrovsky was hurt early in the season and has a 2.78 GAA to go with a .908 save percentage. Adjust your lineup accordingly.

Henrik Lundqvist gets 300th win, 49th shutout

New York Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist earned his 300th career win on Sunday.

It's also his 49th career regulation shutout, as the Rangers blanked the Detroit Red Wings. Lundqvist made 30 saves. It's his fourth goose egg of the season, improving his 2013-14 record to 24-20-4.

Jaromir Jagr hits 20 goal plateau Friday

Jaromir Jagr hit the 20 goal plateau for the 18th time in his NHL career on Friday.

Only four players have had more 20 goal seasons than Jagr including Gordie Howe (22), Ron Francis (20), Dave Andreychuk (19) and Brendan Shanahan (19). Jagr has 55 points this season in 65 games which is 24th best in the NHL. Not too shabby for a 42-year-old who looks like he has plenty left in the tank.

Ruff: Lehtonen likely suffered a concussion

Kari Lehtonen likely suffered a concussion Saturday night.

The netminder was run into by the Wild's Erik Haula in the third period, losing his helmet and being bloodied in the process. Tim Thomas came in to replace him. "Obviously not good," Stars coach Lindy Ruff said. "Likelihood, it's a concussion." Lehtonen blocked 26 of 29 shots he faced in the 4-3 win, with Thomas earning the win on six saves.

Seguin powers Stars again in impressive night

Tyler Seguin powered the Stars to a 4-3 win over the Wild on Saturday night with three points.

Seguin scored and assisted twice, so he now has eight points over his last two tilts. His power-play goal tied the game at three apiece midway through the third period. Fantasy owners who snagged Seguin based on his talent -- and not based on an off 2012-13 season -- have been rewarded with a fantastic season: 29 goals and 66 points. Erik Cole (goal, assist) had the winner at 15:11 of the third period. Alex Chiasson and Jamie Benn picked up the other markers.

Artem Anisimov stays hot, pots game-winner

Artem Anisimov was the lone goal scorer in the Blue Jackets' 1-0 triumph over the Predators on Saturday night.

The Columbus center got the game-winner at 13:35 of the third period, with assists from James Wisniewski and Corey Tropp. Anisimov now has goals in five of his last six games, with six in that span. His 19th of the year became his career-high as well, though he still only has 33 points. The offensive make-up is certainly there, though it tends to come in spurts with the 25-year-old.

Jaroslav Halak wins in debut with Capitals

Jaroslav Halak picked up a win in his debut with the Capitals, a 3-2 victory over the Coyotes on Saturday night.

It wasn't looking too good for Halak and the Capitals at Verizon Center, that is until their offensive struggles were solved 50 minutes into the game, with three third-period goals. Halak ended up making 31 saves on 33 shots in the win. He has a 2.22 goals-against average and .918 save percentage this season. He's a pressure-tested goalie who could really thrive during the stretch run.

Tuomo Ruutu makes old team pay with winner

Tuomo Ruutu netted the game-winning goal against his former team, the Hurricanes, in the Devils' 5-4 win Saturday night.

Ruutu also had an assist, so he now has six goals and 18 points on the year. All of a sudden, the Devils' puck luck has turned in their favor. New Jersey has scored four or more goals in five of six games since the Olympic break. Still, Ruutu, because of injuries that have sapped some spark from his game, is years away from the days of being a reasonable offensive producer. Adam Henrique picked up two, with Travis Zajac (goal, two helpers), and Damien Brunner scoring the others. Marek Zidlicky registered two helpers.

Rostislav Klesla, 31, retires from NHL

Rostislav Klesla has decided to retire from the NHL.

Klesla was traded from the Coyotes to the Capitals a day before the trade deadline, then sent from the Capitals to the Sabres in the Jaroslav Halak deal on deadline day, but never played for either team. Klesla, 31, had 159 points, a minus-46 rating and 620 penalty minutes in 659 NHL games, most of which was spent with the Blue Jackets and the last three-plus seasons with the Coyotes. "With all due respect to the Sabres organization, I decided this week not to continue playing hockey this season. It has been a tough year for injury and moving several times to new teams. I will now take some time off and get ready to continue my career in Europe. I would like to thank my fans and all the people that have helped me. I am grateful for the career I have had in the NHL and all the people that I have met along the way who have supported me and my family."

Ryan Miller stopped 26 shots in a 2-1 win over Colorado on Saturday.

He has won four straight games and lost none since joining the St. Louis Blues. Miller improves his record to 19-22-3 on the year. He has a 1.50 goals-against average and a .933 save percentage with his new club.
