The Arizona Coyotes and their fans honored an inspirational man prior to Saturday's game against Minnesota.

Wearing his old Coyotes number, and met with a massive ovation, Craig Cunningham dropped the puck at the skates of former teammates Martin Hanzal - now with the Wild - and Shane Doan in an emotional pregame ceremony.

Cunningham suffered an acute cardiac arrest and ventricular fibrillation on the ice while serving as captain of the AHL's Tuscon Roadrunners, and this honor caps a remarkable recovery, while giving fans an opportunity to express their love and admiration.

If you thought Jonathan Huberdeau couldn't score while inside the net, you were very wrong.

The Florida Panthers forward potted two goals Saturday, giving him double digits on the season.

It's safe to say No. 11 won't be as weird as that one.

NEWARK, N.J. - Jaroslav Halak made 37 saves, Anders Lee scored twice and the New York Islanders kept their playoff hopes alive with a 4-2 victory over the New Jersey Devils on Saturday.

Adam Pelech and Jason Chimera also scored as the Islanders won their fifth straight game - all with Halak in goal. He is 6-1-0 since being recalled from Bridgeport of the AHL on March 23.

Whether New York gets to the playoffs will be determined by the Toronto Maple Leafs. If the Maple Leafs win either of their final two games - home against Pittsburgh on Saturday night and home vs. Columbus on Sunday night - they get the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference and eliminate the Islanders and Tampa Bay Lightning.

The regular season ends on Sunday.

Beau Bennett scored twice for the Devils, who have three wins in their last 23 games (3-16-4).

Toronto Maple Leafs goalie Frederik Andersen was forced to make an early exit from Saturday's huge game against the Pittsburgh Penguins after being bumped in the crease by Tom Sestito.

The collision came two weeks after Andersen was pulled by a concussion spotter in Buffalo and forced to miss the team's next game after a similar incident.

Sestito received a two-minute minor for goalie interference on the play.

Larceny.

With a two-on-one heading his way, Detroit Red Wings netminder Petr Mrazek sprung across his crease and somehow managed to thwart Alex Galchenyuk's attempt with an outstanding stick save.

Phil Kessel went into Saturday night scoreless in 10, with only one goal since the beginning of March, facing his former team in a game his ex-teammates must win.

Slump's over, obviously.

The Pittsburgh Penguins forward got No. 23 on the season to open the scoring, a snipe low blocker side, just like old times at Air Canada Centre in Toronto.

That's Kessel's first goal and first point in six games since being traded by the Maple Leafs. He's got some timing.

Here's a more traditional replay:

How exactly did he do that?

With his team facing an early 1-0 hole at the hands of the Pittsburgh Penguins (thanks to former teammate Phil Kessel), Toronto Maple Leafs winger James van Riemsdyk buried the equalizer after deftly tapping the puck out of midair to himself while somehow staying onside.

The goal was challenged by the Penguins due to an apparent offside, but it was upheld, giving Van Riemsdyk 27 on the season.

Los Angeles is saluting Bob Miller.

The voice of the Kings is calling his final game Saturday night.

He's hanging up the microphone due to health issues. Miller, 78, has been the man behind the mic in L.A. since 1973.

Miller's an institution. Check out the CV:

The Kings' Twitter account is filled with tributes to the legend. Here's one from Bryant Gumbel:

First Vin Scully, now Bob Miller. Sports in L.A. will never be the same.

It's Bryan Bickell's night.

The forward is skating in the final home game of his NHL career with the Carolina Hurricanes, announcing earlier Saturday that he's retiring at the end of the season after being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis last November.

Bickell played seven games with Carolina in October, and after time in the AHL, returned on April 4, playing 12:35 in a 5-3 loss to the Minnesota Wild.

Earlier Saturday, Bickell's teammates surprised him by joining him at a Walk MS event in Raleigh, N.C.

All class, the Hurricanes.

Bickell, 31, will leave the NHL on Sunday a champion, his name engraved on the Stanley Cup three times.

Craig Cunningham is back on the ice.

The Arizona Coyotes welcomed Cunningham back to Gila River Arena on Saturday, where the club will honor him prior to their game against Minnesota for the "tremendous courage, willpower, and perseverance he's demonstrated throughout his rehabilitation" after collapsing on the ice as a member of the AHL's Tucson Roadrunners.

Part of Cunningham's leg was amputated as a result of an acute cardiac arrest, ventricular fibrillation, and he was recently seen walking without assistance for the first time since the incident.

This latest step is another inspirational development along Cunningham's road to recovery, and his time with the Coyotes may not be over quite yet.
