Friday’s Games

MONTREAL – There’s no getting away from trade talk for the Toronto Maple Leafs.

OTTAWA – Milan Michalek is hoping his performance on Saturday is a sign of things to come.

DALLAS – Stars scoring leader Tyler Seguin will miss three to six weeks with a right knee injury sustained when he was checked below the waist on a hit coach Lindy Ruff called “a dirty, low play that I don’t like.”

DETROIT – Drew Stafford and the Winnipeg Jets erased a road losing streak and kept themselves firmly in the Western Conference playoff chase.

MONTREAL – The Montreal Canadiens picked up two points on Saturday by beating the Toronto Maple Leafs 2-1 in a shootout.

To Roberto Luongo, Aaron Ekblad looked like a nervous rookie in training camp. The Florida Panthers weren’t quite sure what they had right away in the No. 1 pick.

NEW YORK, N.Y. – The NHL has suspended Florida Panthers defenceman Dmitry Kulikov four games for clipping Dallas Stars forward Tyler Seguin.

TORONTO – Olli Jokinen doesn’t know how long he’ll be a Toronto Maple Leaf, but there are no doubts regarding where he’ll play with his new team.

OTTAWA – After lengthy and sometimes ugly contract negotiations, the Ottawa Senators and hometown defenceman Marc Methot have finally reached common ground.

OTTAWA – The Ottawa Senators fell 6-3 to the Carolina Hurricanes Monday, but the real extent of the loss could be much worse than two points in the standings.

DETROIT – There were plenty of blocked shots and precious few scoring chances. To the Montreal Canadiens and Detroit Red Wings, this one felt like a playoff game.

Monday’s Games

CALGARY – The Calgary Flames had to rely on a usual brand of late game brilliance to beat the Boston Bruins on Monday.

TORONTO – Cody Franson and Mike Santorelli are gone and others could be on their way out before the March 2 trade deadline. But the Toronto Maple Leafs still have to finish out the season and ice a full roster.

TORONTO – Nick Bjugstad showed flashes of stardom as a rookie. In his second season, the Florida Panthers centre built a solid case for being a long-time NHL star.

OTTAWA – With their two top goaltenders out, the Ottawa Senators have recalled Chris Driedger from the East Coast Hockey League.

CALGARY – Hayley Wickenheiser will undergo season-ending foot surgery Wednesday and won’t play for Canada at the upcoming women’s world hockey championship.
