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.

Tyler Seguin (knee) is ahead of schedule

Tyler Seguin (knee) skated with his teammates on Thursday for the first time.

He appears to be ahead of schedule in his recovery. "Tyler is really closing in on 'day to day' for us," coach Lindy Ruff said. "So I would say probably within a week...or sooner. It depends on how he responds to some heavy workouts here today and tomorrow." Seguin is feeling better but he knows he still has work to do. Still, it's encouraging to see that he's moving in the right direction.

Dustin Byfuglien exited Wednesday's game against Ottawa in the second period with an upper-body injury.

John Gibson outduels Carey Price

John Gibson made 38 saves in a 3-1 Anaheim win over Montreal on Wednesday.

Gibson was very close to the shutout in this game but the Canadiens scored with less than two minutes left in the game. Nevertheless, he was outstanding on this night as he calmly out-played Carey Price on the other end. Frederik Andersen was very good in his first start back from injury last night in Arizona so it will be interesting to see how the Ducks spread out the starts for the rest of the season. Gibson is 9-5 with a 2.41 goals-against-average and .924 save percentage in 15 appearances. He is a great start whenever Andersen is unable to go or needs a rest.

Evgeni Malkin scores 27th goal in loss

Evgeni Malkin scored the lone goal for the Penguins in a 3-1 loss to Colorado on Wednesday.

It was his third goal in two games and fifth in four as he stays red hot. The Russian stud has 12 points during a six game points streak. Malkin has 27 goals and 65 points in 58 games this season. He is one of the top fantasy players in all of hockey and everyone should know that he must be started in all formats every night.

Gabriel Landeskog's three points downs Pens

Gabriel Landeskog scored and added two helpers in Colorado's 3-1 win over Pittsburgh on Wednesday.

He was named the first star of the game and definitely deserved it. The Avalanche captain has been on a heck of streak lately with seven goals in his last 10 games. He has 12 total points over that stretch. After a slow start to the season, he has 17 goals and 43 points in 64 games this year. Jarome Iginla and Nathan MacKinnon added the other goals for Colorado.
