Jarome Iginla has been spotted.

The 40-year-old skated alongside the AHL's Providence Bruins at practice Tuesday. Here's the proof, courtesy of Mark Divver of The Providence Journal:

Iginla could still be signed to an NHL contract, but said he doesn't have any deals in place at the moment. He drew interest from Team Canada's brass for PyeongChang 2018, but a hip procedure prevented him from showcasing his ability.

He needs to sign with a club by 3 p.m. ET next Monday in order to be eligible for the playoffs, according to Sportsnet's Chris Johnston.

Last season, Iginla played in 80 games split between the Colorado Avalanche and Los Angeles Kings, recording 14 goals and 13 assists.

The Vancouver Canucks signed defenseman Erik Gudbranson to a three-year, $12-million contract extension Tuesday, the team announced.

Gudbranson was recently mentioned in trade rumors, but re-signed with Vancouver through the 2020-21 season at an annual average cap hit of $4 million.

As a 2010 third overall draft pick of the Florida Panthers, Gudbranson has never lived up to the hype associated with being that high of a selection, topping out at 13 points with Florida during the 2014-15 campaign.

Across 41 games this season, Gudbranson has two goals and two assists in just under 18 minutes of ice time per night.

The Boston Bruins acquired defenseman Nick Holden from the New York Rangers on Tuesday in exchange for AHL defenseman Rob O'Gara and a third-round pick in 2018.

Holden will bring offensive depth to Boston's back end, as he has 14 goals and 32 assists over the last two seasons for the Rangers.

On the other side, New York adds another pick for the 2018 draft along with O'Gara, a 24-year-old who was selected by the Bruins in the fifth round in 2011.

O'Gara has no points in 11 career NHL games.

Shortly after acquiring goaltender Petr Mrazek from the Detroit Red Wings to fill in for the ailing Michal Neuvirth and Brian Elliott, the Philadelphia Flyers were dealt another injury to a key player, as winger Wayne Simmonds will be out two-to-three weeks with an upper-body injury, the team announced.

Flyers general manager Ron Hextall declared Neuvirth out long-term on Monday, but shed a bit more light on the situation in conjunction with the Simmonds news, declaring the 29-year-old netminder will miss four-to-six weeks with a lower-body injury.

Simmonds has suited up in all 59 games for the Flyers in 2017-18, recording 20 goals for the fifth consecutive season and adding 17 assists.

Eeli Tolvanen had three assists and Petri Kontiola scored twice as Finland survived a scare from host South Korea to win 5-2 on Tuesday night to advance to face Canada in the Olympic quarterfinals.

Tolvanen, a Nashville Predators prospect, assisted on Finland's first three goals and is the tournament's leading scorer with nine points in four games. Dallas Stars prospect Miro Heiskanen and Juuso Hietanen also scored, Sakari Manninen added an empty-netter and Mikko Heiskanen made 17 saves for Finland.

South Korea players carried flags around the ice after the game at their first Olympics. Brock Radunske and Jin Hui Ahn scored the quickest two goals in South Korea hockey history - 2:03 apart in the second period to make it a game.

South Korea had been outscored 14-1 in pool play. Canadian-born goaltender Matt Dalton stopped 32 of the 36 shots he faced to keep South Korea in it against Finland.

Germany to meet Sweden

Yannic Seidenberg scored 32 seconds into overtime to give Germany a 2-1 victory over Switzerland in the qualification round Tuesday night, earning a trip to the quarterfinals against top-seeded Sweden.

Leonard Pfoderl scored in regulation for Germany, which got 20 saves from goaltender Danny aus den Birken in eliminating Switzerland.

Former NHL goaltender Jonas Hiller stopped 23 of 25 shots in net for the Swiss, who got a second-period goal from Simon Moser to tie it. Switzerland couldn't muster much offense against a structured Germany team.

Germany next faces Sweden, the only team to go 3-0-0 in pool play. The Swedes are led by former NHL forward Linus Omark and goaltender Viktor Fasth, who stopped 35 of the 36 shots he faced in two starts.

John Gibson and Ryan Miller teamed up to shut out the NHL's top team Monday night.

Gibson exited the game after the second period of the Anaheim Ducks' tilt with the Vegas Golden Knights with a lower-body injury, prompting Miller to come in for the final 20 minutes. The replacement was perfect, turning away all 20 shots thrown his way as the Ducks prevailed 2-0.

The win was extra crucial for the Ducks as it saw the team jump back into a playoff spot. They now sit third in the Pacific Division on 71 points, just one back of the San Jose Sharks for second place.
