Jonathan Drouin is doing his best to reconcile with his Tampa Bay Lightning teammates.

The 21-year-old slid a puck through the legs of New Jersey Devils goaltender Keith Kinkaid early in the third period of Thursday's game to give his club a 3-1 lead.

The goal comes hours after the Lightning summoned him from the Syracuse Crunch of the American Hockey League.

The goal is his first with the club since Dec. 2 and his first with the team since news broke in January that he requested a trade from the Lightning.

Try telling Erik Karlsson he has nothing left to play for.

The Ottawa Senators defenseman picked up an assist on Mika Zibanejad's first-period goal against the Florida Panthers on Thursday night, and it was a historic helper.

Karlsson's assist gave him 81 points this season, moving him past Nicklas Lidstrom for the most in an NHL campaign by a Swedish defenseman.

The Senators blue-liner matched the legendary former Detroit Red Wings rearguard with his 80th point Tuesday night against the Pittsburgh Penguins.

His 65 assists and 81 points are both career highs.

The NHL and its players reportedly plan to broach the possibility of banning meldonium in the offseason.

"The National Hockey League and NHLPA are expected to sit down in the summer and address the issue of meldonium and whether it goes on to the banned substances list," TSN's Bob McKenzie reported on Thursday's edition of "Insider Trading."

More than half of the players in Russia's Under-18 evaluation camp reportedly tested positive for the drug, which Maria Sharapova was recently penalized for taking.

Meldonium isn't on the NHL's list of banned substances because the World Anti-Doping Agency only added it to theirs on Jan. 1.

Players participating in the upcoming World Championship can be tested for meldonium, while testing at the World Cup of Hockey will be done by the NHL and NHLPA, so that will depend on what the two sides determine in the summer, according to McKenzie.

Russia will reportedly send its Under-17 team to the Under-18 tournament as a result of the positive tests.

Michel Therrien's job appears to be safe, for now.

Montreal Canadiens general manager Marc Bergevin is expected to give Therrien a vote of confidence either this weekend or early next week, TSN's Darren Dreger reported on Thursday's "Insider Trading" segment.

According to Dreger, Bergevin would like to give Therrien another chance with the team next season, with a healthy lineup at his disposal.

The Canadiens will miss the playoffs this season for the first time in four years, one season removed from capturing the Atlantic Division title.

The team has been decimated by injuries with Carey Price, P.K. Subban, and Brendan Gallagher - among others - missing significant time.

Mike Fisher 1, Carrie Underwood 0.

The Nashville Predators forward got one over on his country star wife, scoring a surprise duet with Garth Brooks.

"How is it that my hubby gets to sing with THE (Garth Brooks) before I do?" Underwood wrote on Instagram early Thursday morning.

"As payback, I think I'll try to see if Wayne Gretzky wants to play a pick up hockey game sometime!"

Please let that happen.

BUFFALO, N.Y. - Buffalo Sabres centre Tyler Ennis says he feels 100 per cent and is looking forward to resuming his career after missing the past three months recovering from a concussion. The seventh-year player expressed relief and exciteme...

Tyler Ennis is feeling good again.

For the first time since suffering a concussion Dec. 30, Ennis returned to Sabres practice, and he couldn't be happier.

"Today was a great day," Ennis told John Vogl of The Buffalo News. "It was fun to be with the team. It's so fun to be out there, joke around with the boys. I'm in a good mood."

Ennis sustained the injury on a bruising hit from Alex Ovechkin, and admitted there were dark days in overcoming the concussion.

"It's a really difficult thing," Ennis said. "I went through a lot of different emotions, a lot of ups and downs, so yeah, there's really bad days. There's days where you feel great and there's days where it's tough. To say I wasn't scared at some point would probably be a lie, but I feel so good right now. I feel great. I feel 100 percent."

"I wish we could play 82 more games," he added.

The Sabres center hasn't been cleared for contact, and won't suit up for the final two games on Buffalo's schedule.

He registered 11 points in 23 games before the injury.
