The Vegas Golden Knights started an initiative that will provide over 7,500 meals to doctors, nurses, and employees at local hospitals, the team announced Sunday.

The initiative has been made possible thanks to donations from the Vegas Golden Knights Foundation, players, and staff.

The players who have contributed so far include William Karlsson, Deryk Engelland, and Jon Merrill. Other donations from players may be announced at a later date, the team added.

"Medical professionals throughout Las Vegas are battling this virus on the frontlines in an effort to keep our families and community safe. They are true examples of what it means to be a Knight," Golden Knights Foundation president Kim Frank said. "We're proud to show our support for those working in healthcare across the Las Vegas Valley by providing thousands of meals over the coming weeks."

Starting April 6, the team will provide 300 meals a day, five days a week for five weeks to preselected local partner hospitals.

The world needs more people like Thomas Greiss.

The New York Islanders goaltender took to Instagram on Saturday to offer food, toilet paper, and other items to those in need during the coronavirus pandemic.

The 34-year-old has gone 16-9-4 for the Isles this season, sporting a .913 save percentage and a 2.74 goals-against average. He's scheduled to hit unrestricted free agency this offseason.

On May 19, 1984, one dynasty ended, and another was born.

Andy Greene's 14-year career won't end at the hands of a potential cancellation.

The veteran defenseman plans on returning for 2020-21, regardless of whether the current campaign resumes.

"Oh, yeah, for sure, in my mind, I'm definitely going to play," Greene told Newsday's Andrew Gross.

The New Jersey Devils traded Greene - who was the team's captain and longest-serving active member - to the New York Islanders prior to the trade deadline this season. Islanders general manager Lou Lamoriello actually signed Greene as an undrafted free agent in 2006 when he was the GM of the Devils.

Greene, 37, is a pending unrestricted free agent but hinted that he'd be open to returning to Long Island.

"I loved my three weeks that I've been there," Greene said. "It's been a very unique situation. The familiarity (with Lamoriello) and the guys have been great. It's a great situation there in terms of everything they do as an organization. I'll focus and worry about what we're going through now and we'll figure everything out later and go from there."

The Islanders would finish outside of the playoffs by point total if the current standings remain. However, by points percentage, they'd surpass the Columbus Blue Jackets for the final wild-card spot.

Greene tallied 14 points in 63 games between the two clubs while averaging 19:33 of ice time per contest.

The Ottawa Senators are offering the Canadian Tire Centre, its nine adjacent parking lots, and three other arenas affiliated with the organization to the Ontario government to use during the coronavirus pandemic, according to The Canadian Press.

Senators owner Eugene Melnyk approached the provincial government with the proposal this week and is awaiting a reply, a team spokesperson confirmed.

Melnyk's offer includes the use of 17 private suites in the Senators' home rink and roughly 200,000 square feet of usable space.

In March, Melnyk pledged to provide part-time and hourly arena staff members with the income they would have received for the remainder of the regular season prior to the league's coronavirus-induced hiatus.

Earlier this week, the Senators' ownership group announced temporary staff reductions effective April 5 - the day after what would have been the conclusion of the 2019-20 NHL schedule.

Six members of the organization, including five players, have tested positive for the coronavirus.
