With another fine outing Saturday night, Colorado Avalanche defenseman Tyson Barrie further proved that come this summer he is deserving of a hefty raise.

Barrie almost single-handedly gifted the Edmonton Oilers a 3-2 defeat Saturday with two goals and an assist, helping the Avalanche collect their second straight win.

With his trio of points against the Oilers, Barrie moved into eighth among all defenseman with 30 points in 57 games and it isn't the only category that seems him slotted in the top 10.

Barrie ranks second among the league's best defensemen with five game-winning goals, is tied for eighth in power play points, and tied for ninth in assists. He has also - since becoming a regular with the Avalanche during the 2013-14 season - watched his production increase every year.

This summer Barrie will become a restricted free agent where he can expect to cash in. He is currently making $2.6 million this season in a year where he is poised to surpass his previous career highs in both goals and points.

Barrie is on his way to becoming one of the league's great d-men and by as early as this summer he should be paid like one.

The Pittsburgh Penguins would prefer to keep their cards close to their chest.

With the goalie market visibly scarce, the Penguins have taken calls on American Hockey League goaltender Matt Murray, but teams have been "rebuffed" regarding his availability, Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman and Damien Cox said during the Saturday's "Headlines" segment.

Murray has put up sizzling numbers with the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins this season, constructing a 19-9-1 record to go along with a .931 save percentage and a 2.11 GAA.

After tying Brett Hull for third in NHL history with 741 goals during the second period of Saturday's game against the Winnipeg Jets, Jaromir Jagr didn't need long to pass him.

One period later, the Florida Panthers forward scored career goal No. 742 to pass Hull for sole possession of third on the all-time goals list, beating Jets goalie Michael Hutchinson for the second time on the night before unleashing a fist pump in celebration.

Only Wayne Gretzky (891) and Gordie Howe (801) now have more goals than the Czech Republic native, who's incredibly leading the Atlantic Division-topping Panthers with 20 goals this season at 44 years old.

His second goal clinched the 19th 20-goal season of Jagr's career, which moves him into a tie for third in that category behind Howe (22) and former Pittsburgh Penguins teammate Ron Francis (20). He also sits just five shy of Howe for third all time in points.

Jagr hit the milestone in his 1,606th career game while playing for the eighth different team of his 22-year NHL career.

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.
