Report: Senators not in market for rental player

The Ottawa Senators don't appear to be looking for a quick fix.

With the trade deadline approaching, Senators general manager Bryan Murray doesn't see the team making a move for a rental player, Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reported on Hockey Night in Canada's "Headlines" segment Saturday night.

Friedman said Murray told him it's "unlikely (Murray) does anything unless it's for a player under team control or has term - no rentals."

The Senators find themselves in a tough spot, six points out of the final wild-card position in the Eastern Conference.

VIDEO: Kyle Palmieri snipes top-shelf goal from improbable angle

With the New Jersey Devils badly in need of a win Saturday against the Washington Capitals to stay in the playoff hunt, forward Kyle Palmieri certainly did his part to help.

After picking up an assist on a Travis Zajac goal, the 25-year-old sniped an incredible shot from the goal line over the crouched Braden Holtby and into the far top corner to give the Devils a 2-1 lead.

VIDEO: Penguins’ Kuhnhackl scores 1st NHL goal with surgical precision

Quality over quantity.

It took Pittsburgh Penguins forward Tom Kuhnhackl 17 games to score his first NHL goal, but when he did, boy was it something to behold.

Kuhnhackl picked up a loose puck early in the second period and - after flipping it past Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Victor Hedman - broke in all alone, going bar-down on Ben Bishop with a beautiful backhand release.

Not bad for your first.
