Mike Hoffman's fiancee wants to clear her name after being accused of cyberbullying Erik and Melinda Karlsson.

Monika Caryk filed an application called a Norwich Order with the Ontario Superior Court of Justice on Thursday, according to court documents obtained by ESPN's Emily Kaplan.

Caryk's application says she is seeking to "expose the real perpetrators responsible for harassment and cyberbullying Ms. Karlsson, and demonstrate to Ms. Karlsson and the public that I have been wrongly accused."

Melinda Karlsson applied for a peace bond against Caryk on May 4, the Ottawa Citizen's Shaamini Yogaretnam reported about five weeks later. Melinda Karlsson said Caryk waged an online harassment campaign against her and her husband, which included remarks about the death of their son, who was stillborn in March.

Caryk said in her application Thursday that she has never been served with the peace bond and hasn't been summoned for a hearing on whether one should be issued.

That peace bond is currently under seal with the court, according to ESPN.

Hoffman and Caryk have denied the allegations. The Senators said in a statement last month that they are investigating the matter along with the NHL, but Caryk claimed in her application Thursday that, to her knowledge, no such investigation has taken place.

The former Ottawa Senators forward was traded to the Florida Panthers by way of the San Jose Sharks on June 19.

The Washington Capitals have re-signed defenseman Madison Bowey to a two-year, $2-million contract, the club announced Thursday.

Bowey, 23, was drafted 53rd overall by the Capitals in 2013. He made his NHL debut in 2017-18, collecting 12 assists in 51 games, and chipped in six points over nine AHL appearances.

Locking up Bowey means the only player on the Capitals' ledger without a contract for the 2018-19 season is winger Tom Wilson, a restricted free agent. The club has over $7 million in projected cap space to arrange a new deal for their enforcer, per CapFriendly.

The Vegas Golden Knights' trademark dispute has been resolved.

Bill Foley, the club's chairman and CEO, announced Thursday that the Golden Knights and the U.S. Army have entered into a trademark coexistence agreement regarding usage of the NHL team's mark and name.

The U.S. Army's parachute exhibition team will continue to use the "Golden Knights" moniker, while the hockey club will keep using the names "Vegas Golden Knights" and "Golden Knights" in connection with that franchise.

Foley's team has been dealing with trademark issues since the revelation of the name and logo in 2016. The Army renewed its battle with the club by officially opposing Vegas' use of those identifiers in January of this year.

The Winnipeg Jets signed forward Adam Lowry to a three-year, $8.75-million contract Thursday, the team announced.

Lowry was a restricted free agent and was scheduled to have an arbitration meeting with the Jets on Sunday.

The 25-year-old is coming off his fourth season with the club since being drafted in the third round in 2011, in which he tallied eight goals and 21 points in just 45 games.

Lowry has put up 41 goals and 90 points in 281 career games.

The Calgary Flames have put defenseman Brett Kulak on waivers, as announced Thursday. An arbitration hearing date has been set for July 28.

The 23-year-old Edmonton, Alberta native was selected by the Flames in the fourth round of the 2012 draft. Kulak spent parts of four seasons with the Vancouver Giants in the WHL before signing a three-year entry-level contract with Calgary in 2014.

Kulak became a regular third-pairing defender with the Flames last season, skating in 71 games and recording two goals and six assists.

Artemi Panarin has given the Columbus Blue Jackets a deadline to discuss any business matters with him.

The talented forward told general manager Jarmo Kekalainen on Thursday that as of Sept. 13 when training camp begins he won't discuss matters such as a potential contract extension or a trade, Panarin's agent, Daniel Milstein, confirmed to The Athletic's Aaron Portzline.

"Artemi loves hockey," Milstein said. "He hates the business side of hockey.

"When the season starts, the focus can only be on playing. He's going to play his best and give his best to the hockey club."

The deadline relates largely to the trade front, as it was reported last month that Panarin is not willing to discuss an extension with Columbus, and that stance has apparently not changed.

Panarin will become an unrestricted free agent next offseason, and after watching the New York Islanders lose star John Tavares in free agency, wisdom suggests the Blue Jackets would like to avoid losing Panarin for nothing as well.

Portzline added that according to sources, Columbus has received several "legitimate" trade offers for Panarin, but that the return is not expected to be more than prospects and draft picks unless Panarin agrees to an extension with the team that acquires him.

The 26-year-old is coming off his first season with the Blue Jackets, in which he set the franchise's single-season scoring record with 82 points in 81 games.

The Chicago Blackhawks seem to have put their offseason wheeling and dealing on hold for the time being.

Following a trade with the Arizona Coyotes last week that shipped out Marian Hossa's contract and brought back forward Marcus Kruger, general manager Stan Bowman admitted Tuesday that the team is likely to wait until closer to training camp before potentially making more moves.

"That's probably the way it's going to be," Bowman said, according to NHL.com's Tracey Myers. "Each year teams have surprises, good and bad, in camp. I think our team's the same way. You have ideas on how your lines are going to look or how your players are going to be ready. There'll be some adjustments around the League, but probably not a lot of activity. If you look back the last couple of seasons, late July and August are quieter as far as transactions. There's the possibility of moves, but probably closer to training camp is more when changes may happen."

The Blackhawks have $5.49 million in cap space heading into next season, giving them some wiggle room to bring in a player via trade or free agency if they so choose. However, with the potential for players to surprise in camp and challenge for roster spots, Bowman isn't feeling pressure to make a move for the sake of it.

"Having cap space is an asset in and of itself, so things will come along maybe in the summer, maybe in the beginning part of the (season) where teams have a couple players that make their team unexpectedly that makes some other players more expendable," Bowman said.

"In the past, we probably haven't really been a good match for those types of situations because we didn't have the cap room at that time. So now we're going to be in the mix for those types of things. Whether we use it right away or whether we use it during the season, I think the nice thing is we have the flexibility now going into the coming years where we're going to need cap room, all that and more, to sign the young players."

Chicago is coming off its worst finish (76 points) in a full 82-game season since 2006-07, when the club finished with just 31 wins.
