Ryan Nugent-Hopkins may not start season

Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, who had corrective season-ending surgery on a shoulder last season, initially expressed confidence that he would be "good to go" for the start of the next season but it's being reported now that this may not be the case.

Edmonton Oilers GM Craig MacTavish won't make any promises. "All things are very optimistic now … but the timeline before was that he’d be ready Nov. 1, in a very pessimistic timeline, and optimistically he’d be ready to start the year," MacTavish said. "We’re going to stay with that and let his progression dictate when he’s ready. We won’t be hurrying him, that’s for sure." MacTavish conceded that being without Nugent-Hopkins would create a big hole in their lineup, but it would also be an opportunity for some of the Oilers’ young forwards.

Ducks edge Kings behind Andersen's 37 saves

Frederik Andersen backstopped the Ducks to a 2-1 win over the Kings, making 37 saves Saturday night.

The Kings outshot the Ducks 38-20 as the Ducks didn't miss a beat with their No. 1, Jonas Hiller, getting the night off. While Andersen has been a revelation for the team, this was just the second time in his last six outings in which he's posted a plus.-900 save percentage. He has a 2.22 goals-against average and .925 save percentage on the season.

Ryan Miller continues to thrive with Blues

Ryan Miller made 30 saves as the Blues took down the Predators on Saturday night 4-1.

It might've been hard to see when he was on the Sabres because he often didn't get a lot of support, but Miller deserves to be in the Vezina conversation and the Blues might help him get there. He has been sensational with the Blues, winning six of seven starts and giving up more than two goals just once. Miller's .924 save percentage is eighth-best in the league, which is the most telling stat of a goaltender's play, and he has a 2.57 goals against average and 21-22-4 record.

Down 3 in 3rd, Habs storm back to stun Sens

David Desharnais scored and assisted in the Canadiens' wild 5-4, come-from-behind overtime victory against the Senators on Saturday night.

Desharnais' goal came as the clock expired in regulation to send the game to overtime; the clock showed 0.3 seconds remaining when it crossed the line. Credit the Canadiens for not giving up when they were down 4-1 5:08 into the third period. Brian Gionta and Lars Eller each also registered a goal and an assist. Daniel Briere potted a goal and P.K. Subban had three assists. Francis Bouillon scored the winner in overtime, his first goal since March 10, 2013.

Kyle Okposo still a big factor for Islanders

Kyle Okposo notched a goal and an assist as the Islanders defeated the lowly Sabres 4-1 on Saturday night.

Perhaps Okposo isn't just the product of playing with world-class center John Tavares. Okposo is still piling up points even without Tavares in the lineup, with them in four straight tilts. Altogether, the winger has 27 goals and 42 assists on the season. Ryan Strome, Frans Nielsen and Cal Clutterbuck picked up the other markers, while Lubomir Visnovsky set up three goals. Matt Carkner had seven penalty minutes.

Bruins ride top line to win over Hurricanes

Milan Lucic registered a goal and two assists in Saturday's 5-1 win against Carolina.

The power forward has two goals and four assists during his current four-game point streak. Lucic has 54 points and 71 penalty minutes in 66 contests. Boston's top line has been very productive this year and they were great again versus the Hurricanes. Along with Lucic's three-point effort, David Krejci picked up three assists and Jarome Iginla scored two goals in Saturday's win. Chris Kelly and Torey Krug had the Bruins' other markers.

Steve Mason helps Flyers shut out Penguins

Steve Mason turned aside all 25 shots he faced in a 4-0 triumph over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday afternoon.

Mason has 27 wins on the year and he's getting close to his rookie total of 33. He has posted a .915 save percentage and a 2.56 goals-against average in 2013-14.

Caps promote Evgeny Kuznetsov to 2nd line

Evgeny Kuznetsov was elevated to the second line at practice Saturday.

He skated with Troy Brouwer and Casey Wellman after he earned three assists in Friday's 4-3 win over Vancouver. Coach Adam Oates is still trying to temper expectations on the rookie forward, though. "I liked a couple other things he did where he just drove it deep and didn't turn it over," the Caps bench boss said. "The winning goal he makes a great cycle, but all the guys did. Is he learning? I hope so, but I also want to caution myself on wow factor."

Pavelec to miss at least the next two games

Ondrej Pavelec will miss at least the Jets' next two games with a lower-body injury.

Pavelec could be out longer than two games but that will depend on the progress he makes in his recovery. Al Montoya will start in Pavelec's place beginning Sunday night against Dallas. The Jets have recalled Michael Huthcinson from St. John's of the AHL to back up Montoya.

Carey Price returns to Habs' lineup Saturday

To update an earlier item, Carey Price will be back in goal for the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday night against Ottawa.

He hasn't played since the 2014 Sochi Olympics because of a lower-body injury. During his eight game absence, the Canadiens posted a 3-4-1 record.

Jonathan Bernier could be out for a week

It appears that Jonathan Bernier's injury is not considered serious but will keep him out of action for a few games.

He will likely miss a week with a lower-body injury. The Leafs have recalled Drew MacIntyre to back up James Reimer, who will get the start Sunday in Washington. Keep Bernier on reserve until further notice.

Jussi Jokinen wants to stay with Penguins

Jussi Jokinen hopes to remain with the Penguins beyond this season.

Jokinen, who will now replace James Neal on the top power-play unit, is a pending unrestricted free agent on the last year of a three-year, $9 million contract. General manager Ray Shero won't discuss offseason plans, but the front office and coaching staff have been pleased with Jokinen, who has 17 goals and 46 points. "I just figure that it will take care of itself in the summer," Jokinen said. "I don't mind if we don't talk until the summer, either. I really don't care. There are a few free agents on this team, so I know they'll be busy making decisions. ... But I do want to stay here."
