Randy Carlyle's job appears safe for now.

Anaheim Ducks general manager Bob Murray said as much after his club lost its 11th straight game Sunday, falling to the Winnipeg Jets 4-3 in overtime.

"While it's not my preference to make comments on this topic during the season, our recent play has led to many questions. Our fans are frustrated, rightfully so, and deserve a response from me," Murray said in a statement following the defeat.

"At this time, I am not considering a coaching change," he continued. "I am more focused on our players, specifically with who is going to step up in this situation. The way we played (Sunday night) was a step in the right direction, but we need much, much more. We have higher expectations for this group, and they should expect more from themselves."

Despite the lengthy losing skid, the Ducks remain within striking distance of a playoff spot in the Western Conference.

Sergei Bobrovsky is in the crease for the Columbus Blue Jackets against the New York Rangers on Sunday.

The star goalie was held out versus the Nashville Predators on Thursday for disciplinary reasons stemming from an unspecified incident. Bobrovsky rejoined the team Friday but served as the backup to Joonas Korpisalo in Saturday's overtime win over the Washington Capitals.

The two-time Vezina Trophy winner has endured a down season by his standards, posting an 18-13-1 record with a .906 save percentage and a 2.87 goals-against average. Bobrovsky, 30, is set to become an unrestricted free agent at season's end.

The Toronto Maple Leafs have signed forward Trevor Moore to a two-year, $1.55-million contract extension, the team announced on Sunday.

In six games with the Maple Leafs, he's notched one goal and two assists.

Moore is in the final year of his entry-level contract and was set to become a restricted free agent on July 1.

Minnesota Wild head coach Bruce Boudreau ripped his team on Saturday after the club lost 5-2 to the Detroit Red Wings.

The Red Wings outshot the Wild 29-7 over the final 40 minutes, leading Boudreau to his harsh criticism.

"That was the worst game that we've played since I've been here as coach," Boudreau said postgame. "Effort, compete, I don't know where it was. I don't know if they're still tired from this road trip or what have you, but I'm really disappointed in tonight's effort."

"If your best players aren't your best players you aren't going to win a game," he added. "It's as simple as that. When I look down and Ek's (Joel Eriksson) line is the best line that we have out there, then we're in trouble."

Minnesota still sits in the Western Conference's second wild-card spot after missing an opportunity to leapfrog the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday night. To Boudreau, Saturday's effort was another example of the team failing to take advantage of games against weaker squads.

"The reason we're in the spot we are is because we don't play well against teams that are underneath us in the standings," Boudreau said. "If we played them like we were playing Winnipeg all the time, we'd be up closer to 60 points."

The Wild will have an opportunity to buck that trend and get back in the coach's good graces when they tangle with the 31st-ranked Philadelphia Flyers on Monday.

The Columbus Blue Jackets took a jab at Evgeny Kuznetsov and the Washington Capitals after beating them in overtime Saturday night.

Kuznetsov busted out his patented bird celebration after tying the game with just over a minute remaining in the third period. Blue Jackets forward Artemi Panarin then won it in the extra frame, and his teammates responded by doing the bird celebration themselves.

Kuznetsov downplayed it postgame but did have a parting shot for his opponents.

"That's fine. It's nice to get some people that think about me," he said, according to The Washington Post's Isabelle Khurshudyan. "Same as like in April last year, you know?"

The Capitals eliminated the Blue Jackets in six games in the opening round of the 2018 Stanley Cup Playoffs.

"I didn't see it but I'm assuming that's a little bit bitter, and I'll leave it at that," Washington forward Tom Wilson told the assembled media, including NBC Sports Capitals.

"I think they can remember what happened, we can remember what happened, and it's a rivalry now," Wilson added. "(If a) team knocks you out, you're not going to be happy about it, so we're going to keep going and I'm sure there will be a few more (games) down the road where you'll see a little animosity."
