Winnipeg Jets defenseman Tyler Myers will not play Game 4 against the Minnesota Wild on Tuesday night, as he deals with a lower-body injury, the team announced.

Myers was a game-time decision after falling into the boards awkwardly following a collision with Wild forward Marcus Foligno in Game 3.

Prior to the injury, Myers had tallied two goals and three points in the first three games of the series.

With Myers out, rookie Tucker Poolman will make his NHL playoff debut. Poolman dressed in 24 games during the regular season, recording one goal, one assist, and 27 shots.

New York Islanders ownership group Scott Malkin and Jon Ledecky are trying to find a top executive to join the club's hockey ops department, sources told Chris Botta of SportsNet New York.

It's believed the potential new hire will replace Garth Snow as general manager, while Snow, the Isles' GM since 2006, would remain president or be given a new role, Botta adds.

The Islanders will ask other teams for permission to speak to their executives, but will wait until the completion of the first round of the playoffs before narrowing the search.

After missing the playoffs for the eighth time in 12 seasons under Snow's tenure, the Islanders organization faces a crucial offseason. The Isles are also in the process of building a new arena in Belmont Park, and captain John Tavares' future with the club is in question as he faces unrestricted free agency.

P.K. Subban isn't going to hold back in Game 4 after appearing to catch Nathan MacKinnon with a blindside punch to the head in Game 3.

Asked after Tuesday's practice whether the incident involving him and the Colorado Avalanche star forward was "just a normal hit," the talented Nashville Predators defenseman was unrepentant.

"Yeah," a visibly annoyed Subban said, according to The Tennessean's Joe Rexrode. "I'd do it again next game."

Subban wasn't penalized for the hit itself, instead receiving a holding minor for his role in the aftermath, and he reportedly won't be getting any supplemental discipline for the initial act.

He chalked it up to postseason hockey and appeared to imply that reporters were blowing it out of proportion.

"If you're in the playoffs, there's things that are going to happen in games," Subban said. "It just depends on the media and what they make of it. It's up to you guys."

The Avalanche cut the Predators' series lead to 2-1 with a 5-3 victory Monday night.

The Calgary Flames have fired head coach Glen Gulutzan, as well as assistant coaches Dave Cameron and Paul Jerrard.

The Flames missed the playoffs in his second season behind the bench.

Gulutzan helped them qualify for the postseason in 2016-17, but they were swept out of the first round by the Anaheim Ducks.

He's the second NHL head coach fired since April 7, when the New York Rangers dismissed Alain Vigneault on the final Saturday night of the regular season.

There's also an opening in Dallas, where Ken Hitchcock retired from coaching Friday, and there may

The Minnesota Wild will be without Zach Parise for the foreseeable future, as the veteran forward suffered a fractured sternum in Game 3 against the Winnipeg Jets and is officially week to week, the team announced.

Parise was injured late in the third period and will be replaced by Tyler Ennis in Minnesota's lineup, per Michael Russo of The Athletic.

The 33-year-old was limited to just 42 games in the regular season after undergoing back surgery in October, and managed 15 goals and nine assists when healthy.

Through three games in the postseason, Parise had recorded three goals and his absence will surely be felt going forward, particularly as the Wild look to erase a 2-1 series deficit Tuesday night in Game 4.

Arizona Coyotes forward Richard Panik was arrested last week in Scottsdale, Ariz., and charged with criminal trespassing, as confirmed by Scottsdale Police Department records.

Panik was taken into police custody on the evening of April 8 after reportedly refusing to leave the entrance of a local bar, according to ABC15 Arizona. Police believed Panik was intoxicated during his interaction with authorities.

The 27-year-old Slovakia native was booked into Scottsdale City Jail for criminal trespass and was later released with a criminal citation.

Panik was traded to the Coyotes from the Chicago Blackhawks in the Anthony Duclair deal on Jan. 10. He suited up in 35 games for Arizona, registering eight goals and 11 assists.

The Philadelphia Flyers will be sweating the health of one of their star players as they look to even their first-round playoff series against the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Sean Couturier left Flyers practice Tuesday morning with the help of training staff after colliding with Philadelphia defenseman Radko Gudas, limping off as he left for the dressing room, according to Dan Rosen of NHL.com.

Flyers captain Claude Giroux said: "I really don't know anything yet. Didn't look good. I guess we'll know more later," according to Adam Kimelman of NHL.com.

If Couturier is forced to miss any time, it could be a potentially crippling hurdle for Philly to clear, as Couturier tallied career highs in goals (31) and assists (45) during the regular season.

Game 4 is set for a 7:00 p.m. ET puck drop from Wells Fargo Center on Wednesday night.

Full credit to Brett Connolly for getting the job done.

In a video that's been widely shared since it was posted on April 15, the Washington Capitals winger made multiple attempts to get a puck to young fan Keelan Moxley prior to Game 2 against the Columbus Blue Jackets, only to see the first two snagged by a man who gave them to boys nearby.

Connolly banged the glass to point out that he wanted Keelan to be on the receiving end, and she finally did get the third puck.

People initially assumed the man was her dad and the boys were her brothers, but Keelan's mom later cleared that up:

Keelan herself then shared her story, saying she was "devastated" about not getting the puck initially and graciously adding that she was happy for the boys.

Connolly's persistence, however, clearly made a fan for life.

That'll be quite a show-and-tell event.
