Report: M. Kiprusoff might retire this summer

Miikka Kiprusoff appears to be leaning toward staying in Calgary and possibly retiring at the end of the year, according to TSN's Darren Dreger via other sources.

Kiprusoff's name had been tied to a potential deal to Toronto, but according to reports the 36-year-old netminder doesn't want to uproot his family, especially after just welcoming a new baby boy into the world, and have to settle somewhere else.

Canucks would like to bring back Ryan Miller

Vancouver GM Jim Benning wants to bring back pending unrestricted free agent Ryan Miller.

If that happens then Miller and Jacob Markstrom would probably share action in the crease, while Thatcher Demko gets more time to develop in the minors. "As we're transitioning these young players into our lineup, I feel that if we have solid goaltending on a night-to-night basis, we can be competitive," Benning said. "There's no worse feeling than trying to develop young players and get them up and going when you know you don't have a chance to win. Ryan and Jacob have a healthy relationship because they're competitive and respect each other. We have something to offer Ryan that he already knows. We've got some positives for him and if that’s the route we go, that's why we're doing it." Miller just completed a three-year, $18 million contract.

Should Sens expose Ryan to expansion draft?

With the Ottawa Senators season officially coming to an end on Thursday, it is time for the Senators organization to shift their focus to the upcoming expansion draft.

The biggest conundrum facing the Senators is whether or not to protect Bobby Ryan for the Vegas expansion draft taking place on June 21st. Despite a strong playoff run, Ryan picked up only 25 points during the regular season and his $7.25 cap hit for the next five-years is the highest on the team. If the Senators were to lose him to Vegas, they'd free up some money but they'd find it extremely difficult to replace Ryan's production during the past few weeks. One thing is certain, the talented forward definitely wants to stay. "Ten years for me, I’ve never been part of anything like it," Ryan said of the "incredible run by an incredible group of guys". Despite his contract, he appears to be highly motivated to build on his playoff success and bounce back during the upcoming campaign.

Kunitz OT goal sends PIT to Stanley Cup Final

Chris Kunitz had a night to remember in Pittsburgh's 3-2 double overtime win over the Ottawa Senators in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Final.

After picking up just two assists in 13 playoff games this spring, Kunitz came through with two goals, including the game-winner at the 5:09 mark of the second overtime frame. He also added an assist on Justin Schultz's power play goal in the third period. Kunitz finished the game with three points, a plus-2 rating, six shots on goal, four hits and three blocked shots in 22:50 of ice time. The Penguins now move on to play the Nashville Predators in the Stanley Cup Final. Game 1 will be played in Pittsburgh on Monday night.

Conor Sheary will play in Game 7 vs. Sens

Conor Sheary will play in Thursday's Game 7 against Ottawa in the Eastern Conference Final.

It looked like Sheary was going to be a healthy scratch in tonight's game, but with Patric Hornqvist (upper body) out, Sheary will draw in. He has no goals and three assists in eight games this postseason. Josh Archibald, Oskar Sunqvist, Cameron Gaunce Mark Streit and Derrick Pouliot will serve as healthy scratches in this one.

Patric Hornqvist (UBI) won't play in Game 7

Updating a previous item, Patric Hornqvist (upper body) will not play in Game 7 against the Senators on Thursday.

Hornqvist was on the ice for the pre-game warmup, and he even skated on a line during rushes, but now we know he was just acting as a decoy. Conor Sheary will take his spot in the lineup.

Habs, Price to discuss extension next week

Carey Price and the Montreal Canadiens will reportedly meet next week to discuss a contract extension.

Price has one year remaining on his current deal at $6.5 million. The Canadiens goalie posted a 2.23 goals-against-average and a .923 save percentage during the regular season. Whenever the two sides agree on an extension, expect the cap number to be higher than his current salary.

Sami Vatanen will likely miss some of 2017-18

Sami Vatanen has undergone shoulder surgery.

It's not clear exactly how long Vatanen will need to recover, but teammate Hampus Lindholm is expected to need four-to-five months to rehab from his upcoming shoulder surgery and the Ducks revealed that Vatanen will take "even longer" for his recovery. In other words, don't expect Vatanen to be ready for the start of the 2017-18 campaign. He had three goals and 24 points in 71 contests.

Hampus Lindholm might not be ready for opener

Hampus Lindholm will need to undergo shoulder surgery this summer.

It will take Lindholm about four-to-five months to recovery from the surgery, so it's entirely possible that he won't be ready for the start of the season. On top of that there is some danger that he'll get off to a sluggish start because his recovery could impact his ability to get ready for the 2017-18 campaign over the summer. He had six goals and 20 points in 66 contests this season.

Steve Ott joins Blues as an assistant coach

Steve Ott has been hired by the St. Louis Blues as an assistant coach.

That also means he's ending his playing career at the age of 34 (he'll turn 35 on Aug. 19). Ott had three goals and seven points in 53 games between the Montreal Canadiens and Detroit Red Wings this season. Over the course of his career he's played in 848 regular season games, including 122 with St. Louis. He also appeared in 61 playoff contests. "I am very proud of my playing career and will devote the same work ethic to my coaching career," said Ott. "The Blues organization is very special to me and my family and I'm excited to take the next step in my hockey career with this franchise."
