More to come.

Sidney Crosby scored the 400th goal of his decorated career Sunday against the St. Louis Blues.

It certainly wasn't Crosby's prettiest goal, as he banked a shot off Blues netminder Jake Allen from a bad angle, but when you're good, you're good.

It took Crosby 839 games to reach the mark, giving him a career average of 0.467 goals per game. He also has 688 career assists.

This certainly won't be the last significant milestone of Crosby's career.

New York Rangers goaltender Ondrej Pavelec will be out for two-to-three weeks with a sprained MCL, the team announced Sunday.

Pavelec has gone 4-7-1 with a .910 save percentage and a 3.01 goals-against average in his first season as a Ranger serving as Henrik Lundqvist's backup. He spent the previous 10 years of his career with the Atlanta Thrashers/Winnipeg Jets organization.

Fellow Czech native and former Nashville Predators netminder Marek Mazanec seems poised to get called up in Pavelec's absence. He's spent most of the season as Alexandar Georgiev's backup in the AHL, but his 31 games of NHL experience would seemingly give him the edge for the temporary role.

It probably wasn't how the Philadelphia Flyers drew it up, but despite a goalie change midway through Saturday's shootout against the Arizona Coyotes, they still came away with the win, making some history in the process.

No. 1 goalie Brian Elliott took a stick to the face during Coyotes forward Clayton Keller's shootout attempt and was subsequently taken off the ice as a precaution. Backup netminder Michal Neuvirth was thrust into action in the third round of the shootout and proceeded to lift the Flyers to victory, not allowing a single goal on four attempts.

With the victory, Neuvirth became the first goalie in NHL history to enter during a shootout and win.

Despite taking a stick to his face, Elliott's injury was called a lower-body ailment by the Flyers, who added that he'll be re-evaluated once the team returns to Philadelphia.

With the victory, the Flyers find themselves in third and holding the final playoff spot in the tightening Metropolitan Division with 63 points - only six back of the division-leading Washington Capitals.

Brendan Gallagher may have shed a little more light on some old friction between P.K. Subban and the Montreal Canadiens.

With Subban and the Nashville Predators in town Saturday to take on the Canadiens - his second game at the Bell Centre since being traded in a June 2016 blockbuster - the blue-liner had a quiet night, as he was held pointless and picked up a minus-one rating. However, a shootout goal by Ryan Ellis was enough to seal the 3-2 victory for the Predators.

While Subban wasn't a factor, his return seemingly irked at least one member of the Canadiens.

"I don't know why you're asking about him," Gallagher told Eric Engels of Sportsnet postgame. "I think he was - you know, they got a lot of good players. I don't know, what was he? Minus-1 in the game? They have a lot of other reasons why we lost tonight. They're a good team. ...

"He was talking, doing what he does. But, like I said, I don't know why we're talking about him. That's kind of what he wants. He came in here and tried to make it about P.K. Subban, which is what he does. ...

"You can let him talk about himself all night."

Just as Gallagher predicted, Subban had something to say postgame, too.

"I didn't see a smile from (Gallagher) tonight, to be honest with you," Subban told Engels. "I just saw the blood dripping down his face when he tried to hit me and fell down."

The Predators took both contests against the Canadiens this season, with both wins coming in the shootout.

NHL players aren't in PyeongChang, South Korea for the Winter Olympics, but a few put in gold-medal efforts in North America on Saturday.

Here are three plays in particular that can't be missed.

Vasilevskiy's trapper triumph

Upon multiple viewings, this behind-the-back glove save by Tampa Bay's Andrei Vasilevskiy off the stick of Anze Kopitar is no less amazing.

Social media was buzzing after this one, as you'd expect.

Matthews' puck mastery

Nobody seems to be able to fool goalies with his shot more than Auston Matthews, and the Toronto Maple Leafs' superstar center got the better of Ottawa's Craig Anderson after pulling the puck in close and letting loose with an absolute howitzer of a wrist shot.

Stamkos takes it to the bank

On a night when Vincent Lecavalier's number was retired, Lightning captain Steven Stamkos put on a show, highlighted by this slap bank pass that found Alex Killorn, who, fresh out of the penalty box, made no mistake on the breakaway attempt.

Let's end by revisiting that Vasilevskiy save, shall we?
