Dylan Strome is getting another shot at life in the NHL.

The 2015 draft pick was recalled by the Arizona Coyotes on Sunday, a move that comes in response to center Laurent Dauphin leaving Saturday's game versus the Colorado Avalanche after he blocked a shot.

In 44 games this season with the Tucson Roadrunners, Strome has recorded 22 goals and 27 assists, good for 10th in AHL scoring. He also ranks second among rookie scorers.

Strome has appeared in 11 games with the Coyotes this season. He picked up his first NHL goal against the New Jersey Devils on Dec. 2.

A former third-overall draft choice, Strome was selected behind Connor McDavid and Jack Eichel.

The Boston Bruins don't have Brad Marchand active for Sunday's matinee against the Chicago Blackhawks.

He's out with an injury, which the team is only calling an upper-body ailment.

Marchand collided awkwardly with Blackhawks forward Anthony Duclair in Saturday afternoon's game, and Duclair was later ruled out for one-to-two weeks.

The Bruins are already playing without star center Patrice Bergeron, promising rookie defenseman Charlie McAvoy, and young winger Anders Bjork, who are all dealing with injuries of their own, plus veteran forward David Backes, who's serving the final contest of his three-game suspension Sunday.

The Florida Panthers are on a serious roll.

In fact, thanks to a shootout win over the New York Rangers Saturday, the Panthers have amassed 31 points since the All-Star break on the strength of a 15-3-1 record.

That's tops in the Eastern Conference since play resumed following the Jan. 27 event, and second only to the Nashville Predators among all teams.

Despite the run of success, the Panthers remain outside the playoff picture, although they are within reach of both Columbus and New Jersey in the race for a wild card spot and have games in hand on both.

Making up the difference won't be an easy task for the Panthers. It could come right down to the wire, making an April 8 game against Boston - a makeup game and the only one to be played on the final day of the regular season - all the more significant.

They're certainly making it interesting, at the very least.

Jamie Benn surely knows a thing or two about finding the back of the net, but even the Dallas Stars captain couldn't comprehend what he saw on Brian Dumoulin's goalie interference call that negated a goal for the Pittsburgh Penguins Saturday night.

Here's the play, which was ultimately deemed a penalty for Dumoulin. Of course, the Toronto Maple Leafs would score on the ensuing power play.

And Benn's reaction:

"Huh?," indeed.

Arizona Coyotes defenseman Oliver Ekman-Larsson has been fined $5,000 for slashing Colorado's Sven Andrighetto, the NHL announced Saturday.

The incident occurred during the third period of Saturday's loss to the Avalanche, and led to a major skirmish.

Ekman-Larsson received minor penalties for slashing and cross-checking on the play.

The fine is the maximum allowable under the collective bargaining agreement.

Attempting to define goaltender interference has been a major theme in 2017-18.

Another page was added to the book Saturday in Toronto after an apparent goal by Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Brian Dumoulin was waived off due to an interference call.

Not only that, Dumoulin was sent to the box for bumping Maple Leafs goalie Frederik Andersen on the play.

The Penguins were unable to challenge, leaving head coach Mike Sullivan understandably flummoxed.

Several players and coaches have implored the NHL to clarify this rule before the playoffs, and this play will certainly leave many continuing to scratch their heads.

With PyeongChang 2018 now in the history books, the conversation in regards to NHL player participation at the 2022 Winter Olympics in China begins.

Deputy commissioner Bill Daly is leaving the door open for NHL talent to be featured next time around after sitting out the recent tournament.

"I’m not making any news today, (but) I will say certainly it’s a possibility,” Daly said while speaking at SXSW in Austin, TX, per The Associated Press. "We have (a couple) of years to kind of make that decision."

There's plenty of factors to be weighed out, he added.

"In South Korea, we felt ultimately there were a lot more negatives than positives than going," Daly said. "I expect we’ll go through the exact same process (before 2022) ... There may be more positives to participating in Beijing."

China, of course, is the world's most populous country, with close to 1.4-billion people and is a relatively untapped market from a hockey perspective.

The current collective bargaining agreement between the NHL and its players will expire later in 2022, but either side can choose to opt out in 2019. The Olympics will certainly be a point of contention next time around, helping to resolve this issue one way or another.

The NHL's current goal leaders are set to go head-to-head in Washington on Monday.

Patrik Laine of the Winnipeg Jets scored his 40th goal of the season in a loss to Philadelphia Saturday, remaining red hot and drawing even with Alex Ovechkin for a share of the league lead.

For his part, Ovechkin failed to hit the back of the net in a win in San Jose later in the day.

Up next for the the two star wingers is a Monday showdown as the Jets visit the Capitals.

They may or may not share the goals lead by that point as Evgeni Malkin - who sits on 38 - plays Saturday and Sunday.

For the time being, Laine and Ovechkin are the only two players to reach 40 goals this season, and have a couple days to work out how to gain an advantage over the other.

Anthony Duclair will miss one-to-two weeks of action after being injured in a collision with Brad Marchand on Saturday, Chicago Blackhawks head coach Joel Quenneville said, according to Mark Lazerus of the Chicago Sun-Times.

Duclair left the game, while Marchand received a minor penalty for interference on the play.

Duclair scored two goals and added six assists in 22 games for Chicago this season. He could be out of the lineup for several games, while Marchand may miss Sunday's rematch against the Blackhawks should he receive a call from the NHL's Department of Player Safety.

Chicago Blackhawks forward Anthony Duclair left Saturday's game against the Boston Bruins following a collision with Brad Marchand midway through the first period.

Marchand hit Duclair up high while seemingly trying to avoid him, and Duclair's right leg appeared to buckle as he was falling.

The Bruins' talented agitator was assessed an interference minor, and Duclair was later ruled out for the rest of the game.
