The Punjabi Hockey Night in Canada broadcasters are back, and they're already in midseason form.

Play-by-play man Harnarayan Singh brought out his trademark unbridled enthusiasm with a prolonged soccer-style goal call when Toronto Maple Leafs rookie Mitch Marner scored the first goal of his NHL career Saturday night.

It never gets old.

Hometown boy Mitch Marner scored his first NHL goal in his first game on home ice.

The Toronto Maple Leafs winger found the back of the net Saturday against Boston's Anton Khudobin with a nifty wrist shot.

Marner was selected fourth overall in 2015. He scored 116 points last season with the OHL's London Knights.

The Columbus Blue Jackets have suspended forward Gregory Campbell for failing to report to the AHL's Cleveland Monsters, Blue Jackets general manager Jarmo Kekalainen confirmed to Aaron Portzline of the Columbus Dispatch on Saturday night.

Campbell was notified by letter Saturday afternoon, according to the GM. The 32-year-old was assigned to Cleveland after clearing waivers earlier in the week.

Kekalainen said he tried to trade Campbell before putting him on waivers, and will continue to try to find him a new home.

The Blue Jackets signed Campbell to a two-year, $3-million deal in the summer of 2015. They won't have to pay the remaining $1.3 million that would have been owed to him this season.

James van Riemdsyk is giving up his number to accommodate a legend.

The Toronto Maple Leafs forward switched to No. 25 after his No. 21 was retired for Borje Salming, the club announced Saturday night.

All 16 of the Leafs' previously honored numbers, plus Dave Keon's No. 14, were retired in a pregame ceremony before Toronto faced off against the Boston Bruins.

It will be the first time in five seasons that Van Riemsdyk has won a number other than 21, according to Sportsnet's Chris Johnston.

Dave Keon's No. 14 is in its rightful place in the Toronto Maple Leafs' rafters.

Prior to Saturday's home opener, marking the franchise's centennial season, the Maple Leafs honored their former captain by retiring his jersey number.

On Friday, the Maple Leafs named Keon the greatest player in franchise history as part of a Top 100 Maple Leafs series.

Keon played for Toronto from 1960-1975, winning four Stanley Cups over that time, including one in 1967, when Keon was named the playoff MVP.

The Toronto Maple Leafs broke with tradition Saturday, announcing that they've retired the jerseys of all 16 previously honored players.

Dave Keon's No. 14 was also retired Saturday. Keon was part of the Maple Leafs from 1960 to 1975, serving as captain from 1969-75. He won four Stanley Cups with the team and was named playoff MVP in 1967.

As part of the move, Maple Leafs forward James van Riemsdyk switched from No. 21, which was honored for defenseman Borje Salming, and will now wear No. 25.

Connor McDavid might be a little too humble.

The Edmonton Oilers star and 2015 No. 1 overall pick was in a self-deprecating mood Saturday when asked about 2016 top selection and Team North America teammate Auston Matthews' historic NHL debut with the Toronto Maple Leafs earlier in the week.

"As a rookie, it's tough to come into the league unless you're Auston Matthews," McDavid told Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News. "For us normal people, it's hard."

Matthews became the first player in NHL history to score four goals in a debut Wednesday in an overtime loss to the Ottawa Senators.

McDavid holds the early league points lead with six. His second straight three-point effort Friday night made him the first Oilers player with six or more points through the first two games of the season since Wayne Gretzky in 1987-88.

Don't sell yourself too short, Connor.

The Columbus Blue Jackets might be forced to suspend Gregory Campbell.

The veteran forward's agent, Pat Morris, said on Saturday that Campbell won't report to the AHL's Cleveland Monsters after being waived by the NHL club Tuesday, reports Aaron Portzline of the Columbus Dispatch.

"Gregory will not be reporting, no," Morris said. "He's going to continue to skate on his own and ponder his future, but he's not going to play in the American (Hockey) League and take a position away from a young player.

"He was a young player at one point in time, and older players didn't come in and take his position away. He doesn't want to do that."

Morris said Campbell is aware that if Blue Jackets suspend him, they won't be responsible for his $1.3-million salary. The agent also clarified his client hasn't demanded a trade.

"He's not kicking and screaming and demanding a trade, but I'll keep calling teams, like I have been. And if somebody who plays like Gregory Campbell gets hurt, then Gregory Campbell will be ready if they need somebody like him in the organization."

Morris said Campbell hasn't considered playing in Europe, and he's planning to go home to Kitchener, Ontario to continue skating on his own while he awaits word on his future.

The Blue Jackets signed Campbell to a two-year, $3-million deal on July 1, 2015. The 32-year-old registered only 11 points while racking up 78 penalty minutes in 82 games last season.

Defenseman Dennis Wideman won't be in the lineup Saturday when the Calgary Flames take on the Vancouver Canucks, reports Sportsnet's Dave Randorf.

Wideman, 33, has played in both Flames games this season, posting a goal and a plus-one rating.

Brett Kulak will draw into the lineup in his place. The 22-year-old has appeared in nine NHL games.

Mathew Barzal will make his NHL debut Saturday, taking the place of Anthony Beauvillier in the New York Islanders lineup versus the Washington Capitals.

Barzal will be play down the middle, shifting Ryan Strome to wing, and is also expected to see time on the top power-play unit, according to Newsday's Arthur Staple.

Beauvillier, who like Barzal was chosen in the first round in 2015, picked up an assist in a little less than 11 minutes in Thursday's loss to the New York Rangers.

The higher of the two picks, Barzal is considered more of a dynamic offensive player. He scored 27 goals and 88 points in 58 games last season.
