Matt Dumba made history in the State of Hockey on Sunday.
The Minnesota Wild defenseman opened the scoring in a Stadium Series game against the Chicago Blackhawks, banging home a Ryan Carter rebound off a failed breakaway attempt.
The injury came at the hands of Arizona Coyotes defenseman Kevin Connauton, who made contact with Steen and caused an awkward collision into the boards.
Steen's injury will be reevaluated in four weeks, at which point there'll be fewer than 10 games left in the regular season.
The Philadelphia Flyers defenseman is scheduled to undergo surgery to repair a wrist ligament and is expected to be out three-to-four months, general manager Ron Hextall announced Sunday.
Del Zotto, who signed a two-year, $7.75-million contract extension with the Flyers last summer, recorded four goals and nine assists in 52 games prior to suffering the injury.
BUFFALO, N.Y. - Rookie Scott Wilson sparked a two-goal second period and extended his goal streak to three games in leading the Pittsburgh Penguins to a 4-3 win over the Buffalo Sabres on Sunday afternoon.
The Penguins beat Buffalo for the ei...
Following Sunday's trade that saw general manager Lou Lamoriello send forward Shawn Matthias and the balance of his $2.3-million cap hit to the Colorado Avalanche, the Maple Leafs still possess a bevy of impending unrestricted free agents who can be used as bait in advance of the NHL's Feb. 29 trade deadline.
The Maple Leafs are well positioned to further stock the cupboard through the draft, as the players above are capable of fetching more picks and prospects.
On top of that, the Maple Leafs have prominent restricted free agents Nazem Kadri and Morgan Rielly to take care of. Reimer could also be retained, which would make Jonathan Bernier the odd man out in net.
It remains to be seen whether players like Joffrey Lupul, James van Riemsdyk, and Tyler Bozak - all currently on injured reserve - are part of Brendan Shanahan's long-term plan, or if they'll meet the same fate as Dion Phaneuf and Phil Kessel in being shipped out of town.
What's clear is the Maple Leafs are trying to wipe the slate as clean as possible in hopes of building a winning product from the ground up, and the deconstruction process could go into overdrive over the next eight days.
DENVER - The Colorado Avalanche fortified their front line by picking up forward Shawn Matthias in a trade with Toronto on Sunday.
In exchange, the Maple Leafs received forward Colin Smith and a fourth-round pick in the 2016 draft. The 6-foot...
TORONTO - The Toronto Maple Leafs acquired forward Colin Smith and a 2016 fourth-round draft pick from the Colorado Avalanche for forward Shawn Matthias on Sunday.
Matthias, 28, had six goals and 11 assists in 51 games this season with Toront...
Matthias, who signed a one-year, $2.3-million contract with the Maple Leafs last summer, recorded six goals and 11 assists in 51 games in Toronto, and is set to become an unrestricted free agent at season's end.
He'll be called upon to help the Avalanche clinch a playoff spot down the stretch as a depth forward.
Meanwhile, Toronto dumps another contract and adds another pick to the stockpile.
That's what the St. John's Ice Caps must have said to Bud Holloway following his crazy, diving open-net save against the Binghamton Senators on Saturday.
With Carey Price still out with an injury, maybe the Montreal Canadiens - the Ice Caps' parent club - should give Holloway a look in net.
On Sunday, when a charging Nicolas Deslauriers skated toward him with the intention of doing just that, the Pittsburgh Penguins star ducked and flipped the forward over his back.
