NHL | Olli Jokinen's ankle won't need surgery

Latest Headlines

Olli Jokinen will continue to rest and rehab his ankle injury during the off-season.

He won't require surgery after sustaining a high-ankle sprain late in the 2013 campaign. Jokinen had a disappointing first year with the Jets after he was brought in with the hope of anchoring the team's top line. He notched seven goals and seven assists, while picking up a minus-19 rating, in 45 games.

Jeremy Morin (heart) was hospitalized Tuesday

It's been revealed that Jeremy Morin was dealing with an accelerated heart rate during Tuesday's game and was hospitalized as a result.

Columbus initially reported that he was out indefinitely due to an upper-body injury. "His resting heart rate wasn't going down," Blue Jackets general manager Jarmo Kekalainen said. "It's nothing serious. I'm not sure he's if he's going to need further tests or not, but everything was fine. His heart rate calmed while he was being tested at the hospital." Kekalainen thinks Morin will be allowed to leave the hospital before the end of the day.

Tyler Toffoli will likely play on Wednesday

Tyler Toffoli (mono) is probable for Wednesday's game.

Toffoli has missed six straight games due to the disease. If he's in the lineup, then he'll probably skate alongside Dwight King on Jeff Carter. That would in turn cause Trevor Lewis to lose his top-six forward spot.

Cal Clutterbuck gets fine for embellishment

Cal Clutterbuck has been handed a $2,000 fine for embellishment.

Clutterbuck is the fourth player to receive such a bill. Obviously, $2,000 is a relatively small amount for a player earning $2.75 million this season, but the hope is that by making these fines public, the players will be embarrassed into reforming.

That stint in the minors could happen in the near future. Additionally, if he is sent down, it will probably just be for a game or two. He has a 2.30 GAA and .908 save percentage in just three games this season.

Frederik Andersen shuts out Vancouver

Frederik Andersen stopped all 17 shots fired his way in a 4-0 shutout win over Vancouver on Tuesday.

The Canucks were only able to muster up seven shots in the final 40 minutes of this game so he didn't have to be spectacular. Still, the Ducks' number one has won seven straight starts in what is turning out to be a fantastic campaign. Andersen is second in the NHL in wins with 27 and holds solid secondary numbers with a 2.24 GAA and .919 save percentage. The shutout was his third of the year.

Steve Mason gets W in relief of Emery

Steve Mason earned a victory Tuesday despite starting the game on the bench as the Flyers upended Arizona in a shootout by a score of 4-3.

Mason declared himself fit to return from a knee injury on this night, but Ray Emery received the starting nod and lasted fewer than six minutes before he was removed from the game after allowing two quick goals. Mason stopped 22 of the 23 shots he faced in relief and improved his record to 9-12-6 in the process. His GAA is now 2.41 while his save percentage stands at .921.

Kris Letang dishes out 5 assists in win

Returning from a one-game absence due to a head injury, Kris Letang showed no signs of rust by registering five helpers in a 5-3 win over Winnipeg on Tuesday.

Letang's fantasy owners have seemingly dodged a bullet since the blueliner missed just one game after he was hit by Zac Rinaldo last week and it looks like he'll pick up where he left off. Ride his hot hand for as long as you can.
