Eric Staal hurts knee at World Championship

Eric Staal suffered what appeared to be a serious knee injury in Canada's quarterfinal shootout loss to Sweden at the IIHF World Championships.

He received a knee-on-knee hit from Alexander Edler, who was assessed a major for kneeing, with 4:14 left in the first period. Staal wasn't able to put any weight on his leg as he was helped off the ice. "It's unfortunate and hopefully it's not too serious," Carolina GM Jim Rutherford said. "If it is serious, hopefully there will be enough recovery time for him to be ready for next season. We'll just hope for the best." He will have an MRI exam in Stockholm from NHL doctors.

Rich Peverley in stable condition in hospital

Rich Peverley (heart) is in stable condition in hospital after collapsing in the first period at the Dallas bench.

"He was brought back to the hallway for treatment, where we treated him for a cardiac event, successfully treated with standard therapy," said Dr. Gil Salazar, one of the doctors who treated Peverley. "As soon as we treated him, he regained consciousness. He was alert and awake talking to us after the event and quickly transported to the hospital. At this point, I was able to talk to him in the back of the ambulance, and he was able to tell me where he was and he actually wanted to get back in the game. We provided oxygen for him. We started an IV. We did chest compressions on him and defibrillated him, provided some electricity to bring a rhythm back to his heart, and that was successful with one attempt, which is very reassuring." Peverley has had heart issues this season and missed all training camp and a couple of games this season with his heart problem.

Dallas' Fox TV is reporting that Rich Peverley is conscious.

This is great news as Peverley collapsed at the bench, six-and-a-half minutes into the first period.

The game is now in a delay and the NHL office in Toronto will make the decision as to whether or not to continue the game. Peverley had a heart condition during training camp and missed a game last week with a heart issue.

Martin Jones starts in Calgary Monday night

Martin Jones will get the nod for Los Angeles on Monday night versus Calgary.

This will mark his first appearance in the Kings' crease since he allowed four goals on 29 shots in a 6-4 victory over Colorado on Feb. 26. Jones spent his junior career with the Calgary Hitmen of the WHL, so he's likely to feel comfortable playing in the Scotiabank Saddledome.

Evgeny Kuznetsov to debut Monday on 4th line

Evgeny Kuznetsov participated in line rushes with Jay Beagle and Tom Wilson during Monday's morning skate.

He'll start out his NHL debut on the fourth line against Pittsburgh. "I think starting him there — he's into the team, the system and not put him in a situation where he might make a mistake right off the hop and get off on the wrong foot," said coach Adam Oates. "I think it makes sense to do it that way."
