Jay Harrison has been added to Team Canada

Jay Harrison has been added to Team Canada's roster for the upcoming world championship.

He was said to be suffering from a concussion at the end of the regular season. Maybe his status will be determined just before the tournament begins in May. If he is healthy and ready to play then he will join fellow Hurricanes Eric Staal, Jordan Staal and Jeff Skinner in Canada's lineup.

Evgeni Malkin (leg) a game-time decision Sun.

Evgeni Malkin will be a game-time decision Sunday after suffering a leg injury Friday.

Malkin had his left ankle buckle in the loss to the Flyers Friday. This has been a different season for Malkin who missed only four games this season, the second time since 2008-09 that he managed to play in at least 70 games. We guess he was due for the injury.

Slava Voynov may try to return to the NHL

Slava Voynov has completed his three year deal in the KHL and could attempt to return to the NHL next season.

Voynov is still suspended indefinitely by the NHL after he was charged with domestic violence and self-departed back to Russia in 2015 after pleading no-contest to the charge stemming from an October 2014 arrest. Voynov would need to apply to commissioner Gary Bettman for reinstatement and there is some question as to whether the Kings would want him back or not. "It’s so premature at this point, because those hurdles that he has to go through to be reinstated by the NHL don’t have anything to do with us," General Manager Rob Blake said. "To be honest with you, it’s so far away from our play right now that we haven’t had those discussions. Like I said, that’s going to be between him and his agent and his people representing him to be able to get back into that position before we could even get involved." Stay tuned.

Tuukka Rask pulled in GM 5 loss to Leafs

Tuukka Rask was pulled during Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Rask gave up four goals on just 13 shots in 31:55 of action. The Bruins managed to make the game close after he was yanked, but they couldn't complete the comeback. Rask now has a 3-2 record with a 2.90 goals-against-average and a .904 save percentage this postseason. Anton Khudobin, who entered the game in relief of Rask, turned aside all eight shots he faced. Despite the loss, the Bruins still lead the best-of-seven series 3-2. Game 6 will be played in Toronto on Monday night. Expect Rask to be back between the pipes for that one.

He finished the game with three shots on goal and one blocked shot in 10:01 of ice time. The 28-year-old has three goals and one assist in five games this postseason. The Leafs did their best to blow Game 5 by taking the final four penalties of the game, but they managed to hang on to force a sixth game. Game 6 will be played in Toronto on Monday night. The Leafs trail the best-of-seven series 3-2.

Patrick Eaves is expected to be ready by mid-October, according to Ducks GM Bob Murray.

Eaves underwent surgery to repair a torn labrum last month.
