Displeased Ottawa Senators fans are making their voices heard across the city.

On Monday, four billboards emblazoned with #MelnykOut were unveiled across Ottawa, with one more set to go up April 2, per Tom Spears from The Ottawa Citizen.

Senators supporter Spencer Callaghan raised over $10,000 in a GoFundMe campaign to pay for the signs against club owner Eugene Melnyk, who has been in hot water with his fan base since hinting at the possibility of relocation at the NHL100 Classic in December.

Melnyk also made headlines this season by stepping in as team CEO, addressing fans in a letter about an impending rebuild, and tinkering with the once-unthinkable possibility of trading captain Erik Karlsson.

The Montreal Canadiens are ready to welcome goaltender Carey Price back to the lineup.

After the club sent netminder Charlie Lindgren back to AHL affiliate Laval, head coach Claude Julien said Price is 100 percent healthy and ready to play, though he won't start versus the Florida Panthers on Monday.

Price has been out of action since Feb. 20 when he suffered a concussion, and Julien was asked why his most important player, who has also dealt with knee injuries, is playing down the stretch of a lost season.

"The people who worry don't know all the details, they don't know everything and they will never know everything," Julien said, per John Lu of TSN.

In 43 appearances this season, Price owns a .904 save percentage and 2.98 goals against average.

Newly-signed Boston Bruins forward Ryan Donato will make his NHL debut Monday versus the Columbus Blue Jackets, head coach Bruce Cassidy confirmed.

Donato will suit up on a line with Noel Acciari and PyeongChang 2018 teammate Brian Gionta, Cassidy added.

The Bruins are Donato's third team of the 2017-18 season. This year at Harvard University, he posted 26 goals and 17 assists in 29 games, earning Eastern College Athletic Conference player of the year honors and being named a finalist for the Hobey Baker Award given to the top player in college hockey.

Donato led the United States team at the Olympics in February with five goals in six games.

The 21-year-old, selected 56th overall by the club in 2014, signed a two-year, entry-level contract with Boston on Sunday.

With another loss at the hands of the Winnipeg Jets on Sunday, the Dallas Stars' odds of making the playoffs continued to plummet.

Thanks in large part to two more goals for Jets sniper Patrik Laine, the Stars lost 4-2 - their eighth defeat in their last 10 and eighth in a row against their Central Division rivals.

It's a scene Dallas captain Jamie Benn is far too familiar with.

"Laine did Laine things again against us," Benn said after the game,

Since entering the league last season, Laine has absolutely feasted on the Stars.

Although it's likely not much consolation for Benn and the reeling Stars, with 18 goals and eight assists in his last 15 games, Laine has been doing Laine things to just about everyone lately.

The Stanley Cup Playoffs will include the Tampa Bay Lightning this time around.

After beating the Edmonton Oilers in regulation Sunday evening, the Lightning officially clinched a spot thanks to a New Jersey Devils regulation loss in Anaheim later in the night.

The Lightning have been rolling since the puck dropped on 2017-18 and are the second team to clinch, following the Nashville Predators.

The berth comes a year after Tampa Bay finished a single point behind Toronto in the race for an Eastern Conference wild-card spot.

In years prior to that, Tampa Bay advanced to the Stanley Cup Final (2015) and lost in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals (2016).
