- NBC Sports announced its broadcast schedule for the upcoming season and to no surprise the Hurricanes were practically ignored once again. While fellow Central Division foes Detroit and Chicago will get six and seven appearances respectively, Carolina received one game on April 4th against the Dallas Stars. [NBC Sports]
- Speaking of Chicago, both Jonathan Toews and Kirby Dach will be out for the foreseeable future so get ready for first-line center Lucas Wallmark:
As per @DarrenDreger and me, Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews won't be at camp and will miss the start of the season due to illness. Expect official announcement shortly from the team.

NEW: Kirby Dach is likely out for the season after undergoing wrist surgery today. Official timetable: 4-5 months.

Just a crushing blow to the Blackhawks, who lose their No. 2 center and a season that what was hoped/expected to be a massive leap forward for the 2019 No. 3 pick.

- Lastly, a great quote from Peter Laviolette that feels very similar to something Rod Brind’Amour would say:
Peter Laviolette was asked by @SWhyno about the new NHL rule that requires him to wear a mask behind the bench.
