New Jersey Devils defenseman P.K. Subban and Olympic gold medal-winning skier Lindsey Vonn announced on Tuesday that their relationship has come to an end. The couple became engaged last August.
The pair shared pictures on Instagram, posting nearly identical messages declaring they will move forward separately.
"Lindsey is one of the most kind and caring people I know. I will always treasure our time as a couple together and the many laughs we shared," Subban wrote.
"After much consideration, we have decided to move forward separately. We will always remain friends and love each other immensely. We ask that you respect our privacy during this time."
The wedding, which Vonn recently said in an interview with Access Hollywood was originally scheduled for July, was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The restricted free agent remains at home in Columbus, waiting to either be traded or given a new contract. The team has already explored trade possibilities, and if a deal doesn't come to fruition, Roslovic must sign a new contract to attend camp.
Lemieux said no progress has been made on either front. Even if a new pact is reached, Roslovic will need to quarantine for seven days upon re-entering Canada.
The Jets hold virtually no cap space, but they could open up some room by placing Bryan Little on the LTIR.
Roslovic, 23, posted career highs of 12 goals and 17 assists last season while primarily being deployed as a bottom-six forward and averaging 14:54 minutes per game.
Shore split last season between the Anaheim Ducks and Columbus Blue Jackets, tallying five goals and seven assists. A second-round pick by the Stars in 2012, Shore recorded 82 points in 209 games during his tenure in Dallas.
The 26-year-old is capable of playing down the middle, meaning he could compete with Jujhar Khaira and Gaetan Haas for the team's fourth-line center job.
Meanwhile, Stanton signed an AHL contract with the Bakersfield Condors. The 31-year-old has played in 120 career NHL games, with the last one coming in 2015-16 with the Washington Capitals. He spent last season with the Ontario Reign - the Los Angeles Kings' AHL affiliate.
The 29-year-old tallied 15 points in 66 games with the Edmonton Oilers last season. Sheahan spent parts of seven campaigns with the Detroit Red Wings before stops with the Pittsburgh Penguins and Florida Panthers.
The team expects Jack Eichel, Eric Staal, and Cody Eakin to lead the depth chart down the middle, meaning Sheahan will likely compete with Curtis Lazar for the team's fourth-line center role. Youngsters Casey Mittelstadt and Dylan Cozens are in the mix as well, but they will most likely start the season on the wing if they make the team.
The team will reportedly make an announcement Tuesday.
Toews registered 60 points in 70 games last season while finishing 15th in Selke Trophy voting and also added five goals with four assists in nine postseason contests.
Chicago's center depth will be put to the test early, as the Blackhawks expect phenom Kirby Dach to miss the first four-to-five months after undergoing wrist surgery.
Dylan Strome, who remains an unsigned restricted free agent, is projected as the team's top center to begin the campaign, followed by offseason additions Carl Soderberg and Lucas Wallmark.
The first few picks of a fantasy draft typically gain the most attention, but they are also normally the easiest to make. It's hard to make a truly bad decision when choosing between the league's biggest stars in the opening rounds.
Generally, the way to win your league is by hitting on players late in the draft who will provide top-end value. Here are seven sleepers who can lead your fantasy team to a title.

Saad has quietly been a steady producer throughout his career, hovering around the 20-goal and 50-point mark each year. He's in an excellent situation this year, playing on a stacked Colorado Avalanche team. Saad figures to kick off the season on the second line with Nazem Kadri and Andre Burakovsky, and the trio should combine to provide some much-needed secondary scoring to the club. If he finds himself on the ice with Nathan MacKinnon, he'll be even better. Saad's a versatile winger who will look to be a key player for one of the league's top teams.

Expectations are sky-high for Anderson with the Montreal Canadiens after he inked a seven-year, $38.5-million deal. Anderson ranked 43rd in the league in hits and added 46 goals and 77 points during the 2017-18 and 2018-19 seasons. He's adamant that he's fully recovered from the shoulder injury that limited him last season, which means the bruising winger can return to his days of delivering in multiple categories. Montreal desperately needs someone to step up and score goals this season, and all eyes will be on Anderson to answer the call.

Kakko's rookie season was rather forgettable for a second overall pick, but it can really only get better. He looked like one of the best players on the New York Rangers' roster when the club briefly partook in the league's return to play during the summer. The Rangers have an abundance of wingers, but Kakko will certainly be given a chance to crack the top six, and if he can secure his spot, he has the potential to put up some serious numbers.

Tuch led the Vegas Golden Knights in goals (eight) during the team's postseason run and did so while playing less than 16 minutes per game. He was hampered by an injury during the regular season but set career highs of 20 goals and 32 assists the year before. The 24-year-old contributes in multiple categories across the board and is poised for another solid season on one of the league's most dominant puck-possession teams. He can find himself playing a much bigger role if Max Pacioretty or Jonathan Marchessault is moved before the season due to cap concerns.

Thomas continues to fly under the radar as he enters his third NHL campaign. It isn't exactly clear where Thomas will be slotted in the lineup this upcoming season, but he could find himself skating on the top line with Vladimir Tarasenko set to miss some time. He's still just 21 years old and coming off a strong sophomore season after a solid rookie campaign. He could be one of the biggest bargain picks of the year.

It remains to be seen whether Zdeno Chara will return to the Boston Bruins for another year, but Grzelcyk will be in line for a massive increase in workload if the veteran walks away. Grzelcyk could have the first crack at playing alongside Charlie McAvoy on the team's top defensive pairing and also be tasked with manning the second power-play unit. The 26-year-old set a career high of 21 points last season and will look to build on that with a much larger role.

After a few underwhelming seasons, Shattenkirk looked like his old self last year. He finished the campaign with the 39th-most shots on goal among defensemen (131) and was tied for 31st in points in just under 19 minutes of ice time per game. He followed that up with a dominant postseason, during which he posted 13 points in 25 games and was an integral player on the Tampa Bay Lightning's Stanley Cup-winning squad. He seems set to start the season paired with Cam Fowler on the Anaheim Ducks and should be fed offensive-zone starts and power-play time as a result.
