Colorado Rockies pitcher Kyle Freeland took a detour on his way to play the Miami Marlins.

"It makes me very proud to see this team and what they've done over the past handful of years," he said. "To finally get to the opportunity they have in their hands, hopefully they can pull it off and bring the Cup home to Denver." Freeland is at the game wearing a Cale Makar jersey, who he said is his favorite player live on a Denver local news channel.

He has tallied 15 points in the playoffs, and that comes after he had 106 in the regular season. He had 14 points in 21 games after joining the Lightning in a trade, and he is skating with Brayden Point as his center, and Point should get himself better acclimated as the series goes on. COL ($6,000): To round out the lineup I was hoping to grab a Lightning player in order to have somebody who would be at home in Game 3. Palat has also had over 40 points in each of his last three seasons, proof that he's a reliable secondary scoring option. In the playoffs he has 19 points in 16 games. The Avalanche smashed the Lightning in Game 2.

The Ducks will try to continue adding to a young, developing NHL core featuring the likes of Trevor Zegras, Troy Terry, Sam Steel and Jamie Drysdale.

Cirelli crossed in front of Kuemper to make it 1-1 at 13:03 of the opening period. The Avalanche lifted Kuemper after Maroon scored a soft goal that put the Lightning up 5-2 with 8:45 remaining in the second. They’re looking to do it again against Colorado to complete their quest for the NHL’s first three-peat in nearly 40 years. Anthony Cirelli, Nicholas Paul and Corey Perry also scored to help Tampa Bay storm back after playing poorly while losing the first two games on the road. They obviously didn’t hang their head on losing to us in Game 2, and we’re not going to tonight.” There’s a reason why this has gone on for the last couple of years," Lightning coach Jon Cooper said.

Jon Cooper of the Tampa Bay Lightning isn't sure if coaches should be the ones to challenge goals under the NHL's video review system.

"It can be tough. But it can be a little nerve-wracking. "That's how close it was," he said. "Here's the issue, and I've stated this before," he said. "If it's either onside or offside, I just don't know why I have to make that decision when the stakes are this high." So somebody could unplug something up top, we can have no replays and something that is a black and white call might be missed."

The Tampa Bay Lightning find themselves in the exact same position entering Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final as they were in during the Eastern Conference ...

The Lightning managed 16 shots in Game 2. The Tampa Bay goalie gave up eight goals in last year's Stanley Cup Final win over the Montreal Canadiens. Tampa Bay went on to win four straight games once it produced a victory in the series. Colorado scored the opening goal on the power play in the first three minutes and owned a three-goal lead at the first intermission. Colorado seems poised to sweep the Stanley Cup Final in what would be its third 4-0 series win of the postseason. Another poor start at home would doom the Lightning's fate in the Stanley Cup Final.

He spent nine years in the NHL’s Central Scouting Bureau and was responsible for several advancements in the department, as well as the art of scouting as a whole. The 18-year-old defenseman from Holland, Mich., was a part of USA Hockey’s National Team Development Program Under-18 team this season. Hutson was also named Best Defenseman at the 2022 Under-18 World Championship, where he helped Team USA secure a silver medal. In 2015, The E.J. McGuire Award of Excellence was awarded in its inaugural year to the Philadelphia Flyers' Travis Konecny. McGuire passed away from cancer in 2011. The National Hockey League have recognized Lane Hutson as the recipient of the 2022 E.J. McGuire Award of Excellence.

USA Hockey's Lane Hutson, a native of Holland, Michigan, became the first American to win the NHL's E.J. McGuire Award of Excellence.

“The challenge that we had is through extensive efforts over a 26-month period, we were not able to confirm what happened that evening.” “No one lost the privilege of wearing the Maple Leaf on their jersey. “No one has been held accountable,” Conservative MP John Nater said of the alleged assault. “That’s not an indication of sweeping something under the rug.” His passion for the game has earned him the respect of teammates and opponents alike – a special player who will find his way into an NHL line-up and be a positive influence for others along the way.” I believe that (Hockey Canada is) John Doe No. 9 in this case.” “We’ve made some changes to our code of conduct,” he said. At the U18 world championships, Hutson was named the best defenseman of the tournament helping Team USA earn a silver medal. "One of his more appealing traits is his ability to use that size to an advantage and dispel any perceived limitations. “A lot of people are taking the allegations in the statement of claim as fact,” Smith said. “You own that.

It's this trait and how he approaches his training and the game, in which he competes with an unreserved passion, which has earned him the respect of teammates and opponents alike." He doesn't get himself involved in unnecessary physical battles and he understands his game. "He processes the game at an elite level. If he doesn't make something happen on a shift, in his mind, he's thinking, you know what, I failed so next shift I will." "The puck is on his stick, and he's making things happen in all areas of the ice. He gets under players defensively, holds off players when he has the puck with leverage. It's given to the candidate who best exemplifies commitment to excellence through strength of character, competitiveness and athleticism. "It was a pretty special moment to earn that honor," Hutson said. Lane said there's a chance he'll reach 5-11 as well. For teams concerned about it, I'm still not done growing." Unfortunately, we couldn't get what we all wanted there ... a gold medal." Our full draft coverage can be found here.

Hutson, a North American skater ranked 25th in the upcoming 2022 NHL Draft, was awarded the award in Round 3 of the Stanley Cup Finals in Tampa, Florida.

It's time to recognize the best players from the 2021-22 season. Who will take home the hardware?

Coach of the year, as voted on by the NHL Broadcasters Association. The rookie of the year, as voted on by the PHWA. The top defenseman, as voted on by the PHWA.

The matchup between Cale Makar and Victor Hedman has been one of the highlights of the Stanley Cup Final.

There are a lot of amazing players that have had really great years, so to be nominated as one of the three means a lot." I think I did a pretty good job." "Whether it's the regular season or the Stanley Cup Playoffs, the NHL certainly knows how to put on a show, and I'm honored to be a part of it again," Thompson said. Markstrom was 37-15-9 with a 2.22 GAA, .922 save percentage and an NHL-best nine shutouts in 63 games. "It's a big honor, obviously, to be there in the same sentence as some of the guys nominated," Matthews said. Bunting led all rookies with 63 points (23 goals, 40 assists) in 79 games, Zegras (61 points; 23 goals, 38 assists in 75 games) was second. "After a two-year hiatus, we are excited to welcome the NHL Awards show back with Kenan as host," NHL chief content officer and executive vice president Steve Mayer said. "Just keep doing it, keep playing well and working hard. McDavid led the NHL with 123 points (44 goals, 79 assists) in 80 games. I owe everything to this organization and my teammates." Playing for this team is such an honor and without my teammates I wouldn't be in this situation. Makar had 86 points in 77 regular-season games and his 28 goals led NHL defensemen.

This is the stepping stone to what projects to be a solid and long NHL career, which should really take off once the Wings turn the corner. The case for: For all the same reasons Shesterkin is a Hart Trophy finalist, he is a standout at his position here. This may be the most interesting vote of the night and is surely to stir debate no matter the result. The case for: No goalie had a heavier lift than Saros this season. Makar's 1.12 points per game mark is also the No. 2 challenger to Josi's 1.20 in the cap era. In a season of offensive explosions around the league, Matthews' sheer force of goals is hard not to reward. With Hedman on the ice, Tampa scored over 61 per cent of all goals. Even more impressive: the 59 even-strength points Josi accumulated were the most by any blueliner since Paul Coffey got 90 in 1985-86. The case for: The Art Ross winner, McDavid finished with 123 points, tied for third-most in cap era history. “With all eyes on the game’s best players, we hope to also recognize these great individuals whose presence in Tampa is sure to be an emotional highlight of the evening.” Truly "most valuable to his team", when McDavid was on the ice this season, Edmonton outscored its opponents 151-71; when he was off, the Oilers were outscored 180-134. It's important to remember that all votes were cast before the start of the playoffs.

Five of the major NHL award winners will be revealed Tuesday night.

CAR has given RFA Ethan Bear permission to talk to other teams. From what I hear, Hurricanes still wish to sign Bear, but two sides are not close on an ...

Carolina still needs third pair defensemen for next season, and as of now they have the cap space to match such a deal, if they want to do it. Which means, for best results of actually getting the player, the proper way to accomplish that is via a trade. It feels silly to accomplish the same thing (move a player) for virtually the identical cost, but that is the way they do business. If that is the case, many teams should be interested in what Bear could bring to the table, and the Penguins should be among them. Time is ticking and Bear has the right to file for arbitration next month. Pittsburgh doen’t have their 2023 third round draft pick (it was traded as part of the move to acquire Jeff Carter last year), which complicates just what they are able to offer. The tricky part of the situation would be dealing with Carolina to get Bear out of there. First, it’s never a good business practice in the ego-driven world of how NHL general managers operate to sign another team’s free agent. They “still want to sign him” according to reports, even if he was also on the outside looking in for the playoffs, and the team already has three important defenders locked up (Jaccob Slavin, Brett Pesce, Brady Skjei) and presumably will need to devote some money to re-signing Tony DeAngelo as well. Bear will likely draw interest from a variety of teams, and a Western destination might be preferrable for Carolina. However, there still are some indications he has the skills and ability to be a contributing NHL player. Bear, who celebrates a 25th birthday this summer, has already been in the NHL for three full seasons and parts of a fourth.
