On Sunday afternoon at PPG Paints Arena, Pittsburgh Penguins forward Rickard Rakell scored a first period goal against the Toronto Maple Leafs for his 500th career point.

The Calgary Flames (28-23-8) are starving for a goal, having been shutout in back-to-back games. Things won't be any easier on Sunday when they visit the Carolina Hurricanes for their second game in 24 hours.

There has been a lot of trade speculation regarding Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Erik Karlsson.

The Buffalo Sabres could be involved in something more than a rental deal before the NHL trade deadline this Friday. GM Kevyn Adams has indicated that he has interest in signing pending unrestricted free agent wingers Jason Zucker and Jordan Greenway to contract extensions and has interest in making hockey deals that would bring back players currently in or ready to play in the NHL and one of the names apparently on a contender’s wish list is winger Alex Tuch.

The Buffalo Sabres six-game home winning streak came to an end with a 4-2 loss to the Montreal Canadiens at KeyBank Center on Saturday night. With less than five days remaining till the NHL Trade Deadline, the outcome of the game for the pair of clubs outside the playoffs was less meaningful than who was watching the contest in the press box.
