Warning: Story contains coarse language

Jozy Altidore sent a clear message to the president of the United States in the caption of his picture with P.K. Subban and Usain Bolt on Saturday.

The Toronto FC forward is the son of Haitian immigrants, while Bolt hails from Jamaica, and Subban's parents are originally from the Caribbean.

President Donald Trump reportedly referred to African nations as "shithole countries" and suggested the U.S. should admit fewer immigrants from Haiti during a private meeting with lawmakers earlier this week.

Andrew Cogliano might finally be forced to miss a game.

The Anaheim Ducks forward will have a hearing with the NHL's Department of Player Safety on Sunday to answer for his headshot on Los Angeles Kings winger Adrian Kempe Saturday night.

Cogliano was assessed an interference minor on the play.

He has never missed a game in his 11-year NHL career, and he's riding the fourth-longest consecutive games played streak in league history (830).

The Ducks signed him to a three-year contract extension earlier this week.

The Colorado Avalanche are the comeback kids.

A win over the Dallas Stars on Saturday gave the Avalanche 49 points on the season, one more than they finished with in a disastrous 2016-17 campaign.

Last year was the worst full-season finish since the first year of the Atlanta Thrashers, when the former club finished with 39 points.

But it's been a big turnaround in Colorado this year, led by a rejuvenated Nathan MacKinnon and a sensational sophomore showing from Mikko Rantanen.

The Avalanche now own a 23-16-3 record and sit just two points shy of a playoff position.

In the first meeting between the top two picks from the 2017 NHL Draft, it was a high pick from 2011 who came up big.

First overall pick Nico Hischier and the New Jersey Devils hosted second selection Nolan Patrick and the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday.

Sean Couturier - the eighth overall pick in 2011 - stole the show, however, scoring two goals and adding an assist to maintain a streak of red-hot play.

Couturier now has 25 goals and 45 points through 42 games, both of which are already new single-season highs for the 25-year-old center.

As for the rookies, Hischier held the advantage over Patrick despite his team taking the loss:

These two clubs will square off again shortly, with round two set for Jan. 20 in Philadelphia.

A scary scene developed late in the second period of Saturday's game between the Boston Bruins and Montreal Canadiens.

Bruins defenseman Zdeno Chara fired a slap shot that struck Canadiens center Phillip Danault in the side of the head.

Danault dropped to the ice, and was eventually stretchered off after a lengthy examination and deliberation by team doctors. The incident occurred with 1:37 left in the frame. Players were sent off for an early intermission.

Chara, it should be noted, waited by Danault's side as he was being tended to and offered a quiet word as he was leaving the ice.

Jim Hughson of "Hockey Night in Canada" reported Chara's shot was measured at 123 kilometers per hour - or 76.4 mph.

The Arizona Coyotes could be one of the busier sellers ahead of the Feb. 26 trade deadline.

It's been a miserable season in the desert, as the Coyotes have languished in the basement, having won just 10 of 44 games.

That means change is in order, and blue-liners Oliver Ekman-Larsson and Niklas Hjalmarsson could be wearing different jerseys come March, reports Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun.

It's a steep asking price for Ekman-Larsson, with Coyotes general manager John Chayka seeking two top-flight roster players in addition to a first-round draft choice for the star blue-liner.

On a poor performing Coyotes team, Ekman-Larsson has recorded 19 points in 44 games this season and is a key piece of the team's leadership core following the retirement of former captain Shane Doan.

Signed through next season, a trade for Ekman-Larsson ahead of this year's trade deadline means the acquiring team would get the Swedish defenseman for two playoff runs before his contract expires. The Coyotes used the same selling point when they dealt Keith Yandle to the New York Rangers ahead of the 2015 trade deadline.

Meanwhile, the Coyotes are also shopping Hjalmarsson. The three-time Stanley Cup champion has had little time to make an impact in Arizona after he was acquired from the Chicago Blackhawks last offseason, as a series of injuries have limited Hjalmarsson to just 18 games this year.

Like Ekman-Larsson, Hjalmarsson is signed through 2018-19, though his cap hit comes in slightly lower, as he's owed $4.1 million.
