A certain veteran goaltender might want to practice his blue steel.

Ryan Miller had some fun with Chrissy Teigen on Wednesday, four days after the model and "Lip Sync Battle" host fired off a playful tweet about being a netminder.

It all started on Saturday night, presumably when Teigen was watching Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final.

That exchange was amusing on its own, but then Miller chimed in a few days later.

First, he riffed on Teigen's initial tweet.

Then, he matched her "I ran some numbers" tweet with one of his own.

Predictably, some Twitter users took it a little too seriously, forcing Miller to follow up with eye-roll and tongue-out emojis, and then a clarification that he was kidding.

Perhaps a new job-swap reality show is in order.

The San Jose Sharks have looked to Europe for a little offensive depth, agreeing to a one-year contract with Finnish free-agent forward Antti Suomela.

The 24-year-old has spent the past two campaigns with JYP of Liiga, the top division in Finland, where he scored a league-leading 60 points in 59 games last season.

"Antti's a very skilled center who has improved his development and production in each of his three seasons in Finland's top league," Sharks general manager Doug Wilson said in a statement. "We like his combination of skill, speed, and defensive awareness, and think his style of play fits with the way we play as a team."

Suomela also suited up at May's World Championship, where the Espoo native picked up one goal across four appearances.

Unless a deal is too good to pass up, the Arizona Coyotes will be selecting fifth overall in this month's draft.

The Coyotes made a splash last season after they dealt their first-round pick at the draft, but this year general manager John Chayka is more confident in the talent that should be available when Phoenix makes its selection.

"We feel strongly about that group of players (at the top of the draft) and we know there's going to be a player at No. 5 that we're really excited to get," Chayka said, according to Dave Vest of coyotes.nhl.com. "Last year, obviously, we traded our first-round pick, and part of that was we didn't feel as strongly or as passionately about that pick as we did say Clayton Keller (at No. 7) the year before, and not as passionately as we do this year. There's a lot of conviction in our scouts and their beliefs in the players that we believe are going to be there when we pick fifth, so we plan on holding the pick and taking the pick and getting a great player."

Last year the Coyotes dealt the seventh overall pick and defenseman Anthony DeAngelo to the New York Rangers for Derek Stepan and Antti Raanta.

Earlier in the day The Athletic's Pierre LeBrun reported that the Coyotes have talked about potentially moving up or down in the draft and that one of the teams they have spoken with is the Montreal Canadiens who hold the third overall selection.

So until the Coyotes make their pick, nothing appears set in stone.

The Washington Capitals are still a win away from clinching the franchise's first-ever Stanley Cup title, but that isn't stopping questions about a potential White House visit should they earn the crown tomorrow night against the Vegas Golden Knights.

On Wednesday, those questions were posed to Capitals forward Devante Smith-Pelly.

"The things that he spews are straight-up racist and sexist," Smith-Pelly said of Trump in an interview with Postmedia's Michael Traikos. "Some of the things he's said are pretty gross. I'm not too into politics, so I don't know all his other views, but his rhetoric I definitely don't agree with.

"It hasn't come up here, but I think I already have my mind made up."

The Capitals as a team have refrained from commenting on any potential trip to visit the president in Washington, but after hearing from Smith-Pelly, you can begin to understand the sentiment within Washington's dressing room relating to views on the president.

"Things that he's saying about immigrants and people of color, I don't think anyone here would agree with that," said Smith-Pelly. "We've got a lot of Europeans and a lot of Canadians."

Questions regarding the NHL champions' White House trip have come to the forefront following Donald Trump's cancellation of the Philadelphia Eagles' visit to Washington to commemorate the team's Super Bowl LII victory.

The Capitals will earn the first Cup in the club's 44-year history with a win over Vegas on Thursday night. Puck drop is set for 8 p.m. ET from T-Mobile Arena.

The Carolina Hurricanes could be a very busy organization over the next few weeks, as more than a few NHL general managers have reportedly inquired about their roster.

One of the players generating attention is forward Jeff Skinner, with sources indicating to The Athletic's Pierre LeBrun that Carolina is looking for a first-round pick and a prospect in exchange for the smooth-skating sniper.

Despite racking up 89 goals and 163 points over the last three seasons, Skinner has been mentioned in several reports regarding a move out of Raleigh in recent years.

The former seventh overall pick is set to become a UFA on July 1, 2019.

The New York Islanders and Carolina Hurricanes are both eyeing the Washington Capitals in hopes of solving their goaltending woes.

Both teams have already shown interest in Capitals backup Philipp Grubauer, a source indicated to The Athletic's Pierre LeBrun.

The 26-year-old is coming off his third season as Braden Holtby's second in command and will become a restricted free agent on July 1. Grubauer saw the largest workload of his career this season playing in 35 games while going 15-10-3 with a 2.35 goals-against average and a .923 save percentage.

In fact, he even stole the net from Holtby near the end of the regular season, starting the Capitals' first two games of the postseason.

As for the Hurricanes and Islanders, the two clubs finished 31st and 22nd, respectively, in goals against this season. Upgrading their netminder will clearly be each team's top priority this offseason.
