North Bay Battalion scoring sensation Justin Brazeau is on the radar of numerous NHL clubs.

"He's undrafted, so he is drawing NHL attention (with) at least five-to-seven teams in the mix," TSN's Darren Dreger reported on Tuesday's edition of "Insider Trading."

Dreger added the Toronto Maple Leafs have expressed some interest, and the Boston Bruins, Nashville Predators, St. Louis Blues, Vegas Golden Knights, and Columbus Blue Jackets are all intrigued by Brazeau.

The 21-year-old winger amassed 61 goals and 113 points in 68 OHL regular-season games in 2018-19.

Brazeau and the Battalion will face the Niagara IceDogs in the first round of the playoffs beginning with Game 1 on Thursday night.

The Washington Capitals will celebrate their 2018 Stanley Cup victory at the White House on Monday, a team spokesperson told Isabelle Khurshudyan of the Washington Post.

Following the team's championship victory last spring, captain Alexander Ovechkin went on record saying he couldn't wait for the visit, while teammates such as Devante Smith-Pelly and Brett Connolly expressed opposite opinions.

Barry Trotz, the Capitals' head coach at the time, noted he would do whatever the group decided and was unsure whether it would be a full-team outing, or just certain players electing to attend.

The annual championship visit has been a controversial topic over the past couple of years. President Donald Trump canceled the Super Bowl-winning Philadelphia Eagles' visit last June. During the NBA Finals, both LeBron James and Stephen Curry insisted their teams would not attend if invited, resulting in Trump ultimately revoking the invitation.

The entire Pittsburgh Penguins team visited the White House after winning their most recent Stanley Cup in 2017.

The Boston Bruins got their most lethal sniper back on Tuesday against the New York Islanders.

David Pastrnak returned after missing 16 games with a thumb injury. He'd been listed as a game-time decision.

The 22-year-old forward hadn't played since Feb. 10 after undergoing surgery, but he's still tied for the team lead in goals with 31. Overall, he has 66 points in 56 games this season.

Remarkably, the Bruins have gone 12-3-1 in his absence, although they had dropped three of their last four games entering Tuesday's action.

The Dallas Stars will get their starting goaltender back on Tuesday night when Ben Bishop suits up against the Florida Panthers.

The 32-year-old Bishop left last week's contest against the Minnesota Wild with a lower-body injury.

Before his departure, Bishop was in the midst of a franchise-record shutout streak that stands at 230 minutes, 53 seconds entering Tuesday's contest. The previous Stars record was held by Ed Belfour, whose streak lasted 219 minutes, 26 seconds in 2000.

Bishop's run is the longest in the NHL since San Jose Sharks goaltender Martin Jones shut out his opponents for 234:33 during the 2015-16 season. The longest shutout streak in the modern era belongs to Brian Boucher, then a member of the Phoenix Coyotes, at 332:01 set during the 2003-04 season.

Overall, the 6-foot-7 Bishop is enjoying a career year. He sports a 2.05 goals-against average and a .933 save percentage, while the Stars are currently in a playoff position despite ranking 29th in scoring.

St. Louis Blues forward Vladimir Tarasenko will be in the lineup Tuesday night against the Edmonton Oilers after missing the last five games with an upper-body injury, the team announced.

The Blues sorely missed their leading goal-scorer; they won only one game in his absence while averaging just 2.2 goals per contest.

Tarasenko started the campaign slowly after recovering from offseason shoulder surgery, tallying just 22 points in his first 37 outings. But the 27-year-old racked up 36 points in the 29 games that followed, helping the Blues catapult up the Western Conference standings and into a playoff spot.

Most NHL players would not go to great lengths to get into a fight with Ryan Reaves, but Micheal Haley is not most NHL players.

The San Jose Sharks enforcer took exception to the Vegas Golden Knights grinder's hit on Melker Karlsson late in the first period Monday night.

Reaves went off on a change immediately after hitting Karlsson, but Haley, who was still on the ice, did his best to pull Reaves back out to drop the gloves.

Haley was assessed a roughing penalty.

The Tampa Bay Lightning will officially be the top seed in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

The Lightning clinched the Presidents' Trophy - awarded annually to the team with the best record - with a 4-1 victory over the Arizona Coyotes on Monday night.

Tampa Bay accomplished the feat with nine games remaining in the regular season, and improved its record to 56-13-4.

Since the Presidents' Trophy was first handed out in 1985-86, only the 1995-96 Detroit Red Wings clinched the hardware in fewer games than this season's Lightning, doing so in 71 contests.

Nashville Predators forward Austin Watson has been returned to available status and entered the follow-up care phase of the Substance Abuse and Behavioral Health Program, the NHL and NHLPA announced Monday.

Watson entered Stage 2 of the program in January.

He was suspended in September after pleading no contest to a domestic assault charge over the summer.

Watson's original ban of 27 games was reduced to 18 in October.

He played 34 contests for the Predators from Nov. 15 to Jan. 23 and was then suspended again under the terms of the program.
