The Toronto Maple Leafs will be without one of their best players for a large part of the remainder of the season.Winger James van Riemsdyk will be out six-to-eight weeks with a non-displaced fracture in his left foot, the club announced Monday. It marks the first significant injury during his tenure with the club.

For a second consecutive season, the Columbus Blue Jackets have struggled through injuries to a number of key players, and they now find themselves at the bottom of the league standings, nine points behind their nearest division opponent. That position now has their head coach looking to the future."Honestly, we need the kids in the lineup," head coach John Tortorella said, according to Shawn Mitchell of the Columbus Dispatch. "I think that's very important with where we are at as an organization right now."With former Vezina winner Sergei Bobrovsky now sidelined for over a month, the team has had extended looks at young goalies Anton Forsberg and Joonas Korpisalo.Meanwhile, a pair of 21-year-olds will get extended opportunities to impress up front, as Kerby Rychel and Josh Anderson will fill spots vacated by Wednesday's Ryan Johansen trade, and captain Nick Foligno being placed on the injured reserve Saturday."Those are two guys that compete really hard," said linemate Brandon Dubinsky, who assisted on Anderson's first NHL goal Saturday against the Carolina Hurricanes. "We've been excited about those guys for a few years now."(Courtesy: NHL.com)Losers of their last three contests, it appears the veterans will remain on thin ice as the season wears on, as Tortorella and general manager Jarmo Kekalainen continue to evaluate which players remain in their long-term plans."Quite honestly, I hope the kids take other people's jobs," Tortorella admitted. "That's how you become better as a team, when there is a push from your youth. I'm hoping some of these guys can stay and help us find our way."Copyright © 2016 Score Media Ventures Inc.

Here is theScore's NHL daily fantasy content offering for Monday:

Make it a dozen for the Florida Panthers.Jaromir Jagr and Jonathan Huberdeau scored goals and Al Montoya made 24 saves as the Atlantic Division leaders defeated the Edmonton Oilers 2-1 on Sunday night to extend their franchise-record win streak to 12.The Panthers also set a new franchise record with their sixth straight road victory.Related: VIDEO: Jagr steals puck, goes end-to-end for breakaway goalFlorida has won 18 of its last 21 games, and hasn't lost since a 3-1 defeat at the hands of the Boston Bruins on Dec. 12.

The Florida Panthers and Edmonton Oilers exchanged big hits on star players Sunday night.Oilers forward Matt Hendricks drilled Panthers defenseman Aaron Ekblad into the boards from behind in the third period, forcing the blue-liner to briefly lose his helmet:

Roberto Luongo couldn't have timed it any better.The Florida Panthers goaltender pulled off a perfect videobomb of Sportsnet reporter Gene Principe before Sunday's game against the Edmonton Oilers:It was probably a coincidence that Luongo skated past Principe right as the reporter was mentioning him, but that doesn't make it any less amazing.Copyright © 2016 Score Media Ventures Inc. All rights reserved. Certain content reproduced under license.

On a historic night in the NHL, it's only right that Jaromir Jagr shared the spotlight.Related: Ovechkin becomes 1st Russian to score 500 goalsThe Florida Panthers forward stole the puck at his own blue line, carried it end-to-end, and snuck a backhand shot past Edmonton Oilers goaltender Cam Talbot to open the scoring at Rexall Place:(Courtesy: NHL.com)It was Jagr's 737th career goal, moving him within four of Brett Hull for third on the all-time list.The 43-year-old has 15 goals and 16 assists in 39 games this season.Washington Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin scored the 500th and 501st goals of his career Sunday, and Chicago Blackhawks forward Marian Hossa scored his 492nd and 493rd in a win over the Colorado Avalanche.Copyright © 2016 Score Media Ventures Inc. All rights reserved. Certain content reproduced under license.

Patrick Kane and Marian Hossa scored two goals apiece and Jonathan Toews tallied three points as the Chicago Blackhawks extended their win streak to seven games with a 6-3 victory over the Colorado Avalanche on Sunday.Related: VIDEO: Patrick Kane plays keep-away, scores from long rangeKane scored at even strength in the first period, and added his 25th goal of the season on the power play in the second.Hossa scored for the first time in 14 games, and added another late in the second period for his 493rd career goal.

Alex Ovechkin has completed another checkpoint on his path to becoming arguably the greatest pure goal scorer in NHL history.The Washington Capitals captain became the first Russian in league history to score 500 goals Sunday night, beating Ottawa Senators netminder Andrew Hammond (for the first time) with a labeled wrist shot that was fittingly fired on the power play.Ovechkin is the 43rd player, and the fifth-fastest, to reach the plateau. Only Wayne Gretzky, Mario Lemieux, Mike Bossy, and Brett Hull needed fewer games than the Capitals' sniper, who achieved the milestone in his 801st career game.And importantly, on home ice."It's great to do it in front of our fans," Ovechkin said after the game, according to Isabelle Khurshudyan of the Washington Post. "The celebration, all jumping up. It was a very special moment. I'm very sure everybody will remember that."It's history."It wasn't over just then. Ovechkin scored No. 501 (and his second on Hammond) later on in the contest, exceeding Patrick Kane and Jamie Benn at the league goal scoring apex with his 26th.Because it truly was his night.The "all-time" debate will rage on, but he's been without question the deadliest, most prolific sniper since breaking into NHL in 2005. Here are a few more facts to help illustrate his unmatched greatness:

The Washington Capitals have a roster chock-full of players on career-best trajectories, but none have made gains like Evgeny Kuznetsov.The third-year man upped his point total to 38 with an assist on T.J. Oshie's power-play goal in the first period Sunday versus the Ottawa Senators, establishing a new personal best mark in 38 fewer games.Kuznetsov leads the most potent offense in the Eastern Conference in scoring, at least provisionally, producing at almost a half point-per-game better than he had last season.His leap in production is second only to Edmonton Oilers forward Leon Draisaitl.Copyright © 2016 Score Media Ventures Inc. All rights reserved. Certain content reproduced under license.

It's not easy to take the puck from Patrick Kane.The Chicago Blackhawks star showed off his stickhandling skills Sunday, circling around a trio of Colorado Avalanche players before firing a shot through traffic to give the Blackhawks a 2-0 lead:(Courtesy: NHL.com)It was Kane's 24th goal of the season, and he scored his 25th midway through the second period, giving Chicago a 4-2 lead, and tying him with Jamie Benn for the league lead.Later, Alex Ovechkin scored his 25th and 26th - the 500th and 501st goals of his career - to leapfrog Kane and Benn for the NHL lead this season.Copyright © 2016 Score Media Ventures Inc.

The agent for Chris Higgins says they will cooperate with the Vancouver Canucks in an attempt to find the veteran winger a new home.Related: Canucks exploring trade options for Higgins"We will work together on this," Matt Keator told Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman on Sunday.The agent confirmed Higgins didn't make a trade demand, and said the Canucks have granted him permission to talk to other teams."There is nothing acrimonious here," Keator told Friedman. "We understand this is part of a transition. Vancouver treated Chris very well over the years. It was a great fit. We'll see where this goes."Higgins has a partial no-trade clause but is willing to expand it, Friedman reports.The 32-year-old winger is signed through 2016-17 for $2.5 million over each of the next two seasons.He has two goals and one assist in 25 games.Copyright © 2016 Score Media Ventures Inc.

Sam Reinhart registered a hat trick and Evander Kane collected an assist in his return to MTS Centre as the Buffalo Sabres snapped a six-game losing streak with a 4-2 victory over the Winnipeg Jets on Sunday.Reinhart scored a pair of first-period goals and added an empty netter, on which Kane passed up a goal to feed his teammate and ice the win:(Courtesy: NHL.com)Kane's return started awkwardly when he slipped on a puck in the pregame warmup, and the winger was jeered by Jets fans all game long.Related: PHOTO: Young Jets fan mocks Evander Kane's infamous money phoneThe 24-year-old logged over 21 minutes of ice time, second only to Ryan O'Reilly among Sabres forwards on Sunday.Sabres goaltender Linus Ullmark made 42 saves on 44 shots, while Jets netminder Connor Hellebuyck allowed three goals on 28 shots, and suffered his first regulation loss in five games.

Zach Werenski isn't feeling malaise and blue at Michigan.The Columbus Blue Jackets lottery selection and United States captain at the World Junior Hockey Championship earlier this month refuted a recent report suggesting he's unhappy in Ann Arbor, and wanting to turn pro."I'm happy," Werenski said, according to David Goricki of The Detroit News. "That was a terrible rumor, bad timing too, especially going on with the tournament. It's not something you want to see. That's why it's a rumor and you have to push it off."I was kind of like, 'What is this?' when I read it. I just put it behind me. You see all that stuff. It pops up on your timeline. At that point, I just stopped looking at Twitter. I have bigger things to worry about than that."Werenski also told Goricki that he hasn't made a decision on whether he will join Seth Jones and Ryan Murray on the Blue Jackets' now nascent blue line next season, explaining that a national championship is the only thing on his mind.Copyright © 2016 Score Media Ventures Inc.

If Steven Stamkos is, or becomes truly torn up about his pending unrestricted free agency, he'll have counsel waiting in Zach Parise.Parise went home in 2012, signing a free-agent contract with the Minnesota Wild a season after being named captain of the New Jersey Devils. So he can most certainly sympathize with the internal tug-of-war that the Tampa Bay Lightning captain may, or may not, be dealing with."It's tough being in that situation, being a captain. That's your team. The guys look up to you and respect you. It's not easy," Parise told Joe Smith of the Tampa Bay Times."If you're going to decide to wait for (after) the season, go home and be by yourself," he added. "When you're surrounded by everything, it's tough to think of leaving. I'm not telling him to leave, but for me, the best thing is we went home just for a couple weeks (and) tried to figure out what to do."Parise wasn't offering advice to Stamkos specifically, but did indicate that entering free agency and having all the options on the table is a worthwhile exercise."It's fun," he said of the process. "You're getting courted by every team. It's flattering. It's humbling. It's a really neat thing."Copyright © 2016 Score Media Ventures Inc. All rights reserved.

The Winnipeg Jets went down early Sunday, but it didn't take them long to respond thanks to a fantastic play by Drew Stafford.Stafford caught the puck and made a slick no-look, between-the-legs pass to set up Bryan Little's shot, which was then deflected by Blake Wheeler for the game-tying goal against the Buffalo Sabres.(Courtesy: NHL.com)Wheeler now has 11 goals and 30 assists in 42 games, while Stafford picked up his 23rd point with the helper.Copyright © 2016 Score Media Ventures Inc.

Evander Kane's long-awaited return to Winnipeg wasn't exactly inhospitable (he apparently received a muffled cheer), but it did lack grace.The expatriated former Winnipeg Jets forward - now with the Buffalo Sabres - took an embarrassing little tumble with his first few steps back on MTS Centre ice.Kane laughed it off, which is not unlike how he handled the chatter surrounding his departure from the Jets.Copyright © 2016 Score Media Ventures Inc.

Here's something you don't see every day.In an official team statement Sunday, Vancouver Canucks general manager Jim Benning confirmed the team is exploring trade options for Chris Higgins.

Every Sunday, we examine three players you should consider picking up from the waiver wire in your pool.As we pass the midway point of the 2015-16 NHL regular season, many fantasy managers are searching for that perfect cost-effective addition to round out their rosters. Thankfully, there are solid options primed to emerge as consistent producers throughout the rest of the year.Here are three players to consider picking up this week:Avalanche F Carl Soderberg: 7 G, 21 A, -2, 90 SOGOwned in 25 percent of Yahoo leaguesSoderberg is on pace for a career-high 55 points, producing on one of the NHL's best young teams.

The Detroit Red Wings have confirmed defenseman Jakub Kindl cleared waivers Sunday.Kindl can now be assigned to the AHL's Grand Rapids Griffins, which would allow the Red Wings to activate Kyle Quincey from injured reserve.A healthy scratch for the past four games, Kindl has two goals and three assists in 23 contests.The 28-year-old has two years remaining on his contract with an average cap hit of $2.4 million.Copyright © 2016 Score Media Ventures Inc.

Get stoked, Philadelphia fans.Flyers 2015 first-round pick Travis Konecny followed up a hat trick in his debut with the OHL's Sarnia Sting by scoring an absolutely filthy shootout winner against the Saginaw Spirit on Saturday.

Here is theScore's NHL daily fantasy content offering for Sunday:

Los Angeles Kings defenseman Brayden McNabb was ejected Saturday after a violent crash along the boards with fallen St. Louis Blues winger Magnus Paajarvi.The result was devastating, as Paajarvi's head smashes on the boards before then being pressed into the ice and bloodied under an airborne McNabb. But the call might be a little harsh. Paajarvi inadvertently turtles, and in turn topples McNabb, when he's knocked to the ice from behind by Milan Lucic just before contact.

With 15 seconds left and two points already in hand, it was showtime for Anthony Duclair.Watch the Arizona Coyotes rookie execute the breakaway move that helped Peter Forsberg - and more recently Vladimir Tarasenko - become household names.Copyright © 2016 Score Media Ventures Inc. All rights reserved. Certain content reproduced under license.

Connor McDavid has to be nearing a return, because his previously broken clavicle has become fair game on Twitter.Aaron Ekblad, in town with the Florida Panthers, landed a well-crafted social media jab after having his dinner paid for by his fellow first overall draft pick and Ontario Hockey League alumnus.

The Arizona Coyotes may have found a keeper in Louis Domingue.The 23-year-old goaltender stopped all 26 shots he faced in a 4-0 victory over the Nashville Predators on Saturday night.Domingue earned his second shutout and improved to 6-2-2 with his fourth win in his last five contests. The 2010 fifth-round pick has allowed only eight goals in that span.He was thrust into the crease last month following an injury to Coyotes starter Mike Smith along with inconsistent play from backup Anders Lindback.Arizona has now won three games in a row and seven of its last 10, while Nashville has lost three straight and six of the last eight contests.Copyright © 2016 Score Media Ventures Inc.

The Toronto Maple Leafs suffered their worst defeat in the Mike Babcock era Saturday night, being embarrassed 7-0 by the San Jose Sharks in the final stop of their California road trip.Though the state typically takes its casualties, the loss did present a rare opportunity (at least of late) for Babcock to tear into his team.But he refrained, even being complimentary."I actually thought we started great. I thought we were doing lots of good things. When we gave up the shorthanded goal, we stayed on the ice too long, we had a bad change. Everyone thought to that point we had played good," the typically prickly Babcock said, according to James Mirtle of the Globe and Mail."We hung (Jonathan Bernier) out to dry tonight," he added. " He's been playing really good and we hung him out to dry. They had quality chances. So we've got to get home, get freshened up, and get back at 'er because that's not good enough."The Maple Leafs will return home with a sour taste in their mouths, but they did play very well on the first two stops. Bernier shut out the Anaheim Ducks on Wednesday before a late rally behind a strong effort from James Reimer came up narrowly short versus the Los Angeles Kings.Copyright © 2016 Score Media Ventures Inc.

P.K. Subban wasn't interested in talking about ending his goal drought following a 3-1 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday night.The Montreal Canadiens defenseman made that abundantly clear in the postgame scrum, according to Sportsnet's Eric Engels:

The Ottawa Senators supported their coach Saturday, seeking two points, not revenge for Brad Marchand's antics in last week's 7-4 loss to the Boston Bruins.Though Boston picked up a point in the extra-time contest to stay one point ahead of Ottawa in the Atlantic Division, the Senators earned the pair of points they coveted on their 38th shot:Mark Stone's second whack on the wraparound.Erik Karlsson moved into fourth place in league scoring with assists on both Ottawa goals with the benefit of an increased workload in overtime.

Jordan Staal is on a roll.The Carolina Hurricanes center scored for the third straight game Saturday, and he did it in style, snapping the overtime winner past Columbus Blue Jackets goaltender Joonas Korpisalo to give the Hurricanes a 4-3 victory:Staal has notched a goal and an assist in each of his last three games and now has 21 points in 43 contests.The Hurricanes defeated the Blue Jackets for the second time in as many nights following a 4-1 victory in Raleigh on Friday.Copyright © 2016 Score Media Ventures Inc.

The NHL reportedly plans to alter the way its All-Star captains are selected."One thing we are going to see a change with is All-Star voting next year," Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reported on Saturday's edition of "Headlines.""You're going to see a situation (in which) the league decides: is it going to be that the fans just have a portion of the vote - not all of the captaincy votes - or could it just be that there's a list online that you're going to be able to vote from?" Friedman said."I think (it's) pretty safe to say we're not going to see the same kind of all out voting that we saw this year and what it resulted in with the captaincies."The league allowed fans to vote for All-Star captains as part of its new 3-on-3 format this year, and Arizona Coyotes pugilist John Scott was elected Pacific Division captain following a campaign spearheaded by Greg Wyshynski of Yahoo Sports.Copyright © 2016 Score Media Ventures Inc.

William Nylander's concussion suffered at the world juniors may have cost him more than the remainder of the tournament.Sportsnet's Damien Cox reported Saturday on Hockey Night in Canada's "Headlines" segment that Nylander may not get to join the Toronto Maple Leafs after the All-Star break - an opportunity the organization was apparently preparing."That's all off the table right now," Cox said. "I think he's going to miss a month or more when it's all said and done."Nylander apparently returned to Toronto on Wednesday and has embarked on his return-to-play concussion protocol.The former eighth overall pick was first in American Hockey League scoring at the time of his departure (he now ranks second) for the world junior tournament.Nylander was knocked out of the competition on his second shift as a result of a blindside hit from Switzerland's Chris Egli.Copyright © 2016 Score Media Ventures Inc.

Phil Kessel redeemed himself with one flick of the wrist Saturday night.The Pittsburgh Penguins forward found teammate Patric Hornqvist, who stickhandled and fired a backhand shot past Montreal Canadiens goaltender Mike Condon to open the scoring on a second-period power play:(Courtesy: NHL.com)Kessel, who fanned on a shot with a wide-open net in the first period, entered the game with one goal in his last seven contests.P.K. Subban tied it on a slap shot about three minutes later, before Penguins forward Bryan Rust scored to give Pittsburgh a 2-1 lead late in the second stanza.Copyright © 2016 Score Media Ventures Inc.

Evander Kane says he isn't treating his return to Winnipeg differently from any other game."I play for the Buffalo Sabres now and I look at it as business as usual," Kane told reporters Saturday, according to The Buffalo News' Mike Harrington.The Jets host the Sabres on Sunday afternoon at MTS Centre in Winnipeg.Kane was traded to Buffalo last February in a seven-player deal that came eight days after a reported incident with his teammates."I'm going into it preparing as if we're playing any other team," the 24-year-old forward said. "We're on a six-game slide here so I'm looking for two points."Kane played four seasons for the Jets, but he isn't sure what kind of reaction he'll get from fans in Winnipeg on Sunday."I don't know. I guess we'll all find out together," he said, according to Harrington.Kane has eight goals and five assists in 31 games with Buffalo after missing the last two months of the 2014-15 campaign following shoulder surgery.He hasn't registered a point during the Sabres' losing streak, and he's been held off the scoresheet in 12 of his last 15 contests.Copyright © 2016 Score Media Ventures Inc.

Mike Reilly's third tour with the Minnesota Wild will see him finally thrust into action.The high-profile offseason acquisition - signed as a free agent after failing to come to terms with his previous rights-holder, the Columbus Blue Jackets - will make his NHL debut Saturday night in Dallas."I worked all summer to try to be in this position as early as possible, and now that I'm here it's kind of surreal," Reilly said, according to the team's official website. "I just have to go enjoy this process, but it's a big game tonight for the team, so you want to come out with two points."Reilly worked with Jonas Brodin at the morning skate.He has five goals and 18 points with a rotten minus-26 rating in his first 32 pro contests playing for the Iowa Wild.Copyright © 2016 Score Media Ventures Inc.

The St. Louis Blues will be without key contributors at each position Saturday in Los Angeles where they'll aim for their first win of 2016.Paul Stastny, Jay Bouwmeester, and Jake Allen have been ruled out versus the Kings after picking up injuries in Friday night's loss to the Anaheim Ducks, Jeremy Rutherford of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.The team will re-evaluate all three players upon its return to St. Louis, with an update expected Monday. Stastny and Bouwmeester are dealing with upper-body ailments, while Allen is believed to have suffered a leg injury.Jordan Binnington was recalled from the Chicago Wolves to back up Brian Elliott.Copyright © 2016 Score Media Ventures Inc.

The Washington Capitals just summarized their dominant season in one epic sequence.Braden Holtby robbed Derek Stepan in overtime before Alex Ovechkin went the other way and scored a beauty to lead the Capitals to a 4-3 victory over the New York Rangers on Saturday afternoon.The goal was Ovechkin's second of the game and the 499th of his career.

Alex Ovechkin had 497 career goals coming into Saturday's tilt against the New York Rangers. None of them were as easy as No. 498.Ovechkin capitalized on an absolutely awful - or terrific, depending on how you look at it - pass by Rangers defenseman Dan Girardi to give the Washington Capitals an early lead on Saturday.The 30-year-old now has 23 goals in 40 games this season. He's just two goals shy of 500 for his career.Copyright © 2016 Score Media Ventures Inc. All rights reserved. Certain content reproduced under license.

Connor McDavid might not be ahead of schedule in his recovery from surgery to repair a fractured clavicle after all.The rookie phenom will not be back in the Edmonton Oilers' lineup before the All-Star Game on Jan. 31, head coach Todd McLellan confirmed Saturday.

Another day, another injury for the New Jersey Devils.The Devils placed forward Jiri Tlusty on injured reserve Saturday. He sustained the undisclosed injury in Friday's loss to the Boston Bruins.Joseph Blandisi has been recalled from the AHL's Albany Devils to coincide with Tlusty's ailment.New Jersey is already without several of its regulars: Mike Cammalleri, Tuomo Ruutu, Patrik Elias, and Jacob Josefson are all on injured reserve.The injuries are starting to have an effect, as the Devils have dropped three straight games ahead of a four-game Western road trip.Copyright © 2016 Score Media Ventures Inc. All rights reserved. Certain content reproduced under license.

The Columbus Blue Jackets could be without their captain for the foreseeable future.Nick Foligno has been placed on injured reserve with an upper-body injury after taking a dangerous headshot from Carolina Hurricanes forward Brad Malone on Friday.Foligno left the game and did not return. He will be sidelined indefinitely.Malone was not assessed a penalty on the play, and will not receive supplemental discipline from the NHL's Department of Player Safety.

The Detroit Red Wings placed defenseman Jakub Kindl on waivers Saturday, TSN's Bob McKenzie reports.Kindl has been a healthy scratch in each of the past four games. He has two goals and three assists in 23 contests this season.

If you're hoping for a heated tilt Saturday between the Ottawa Senators and Boston Bruins, prepare to be disappointed.Senators head coach Dave Cameron kicked off his pregame press conference by declaring his team has put behind it the fireworks from its previous encounter with the Bruins.

Here is theScore's NHL daily fantasy content offering for Saturday:

The St. Louis Blues lost more than a shootout Friday night.Jake Allen, Jay Bouwmeester, and Paul Stastny each suffered injuries (and Vladimir Tarasenko was bloodied in a fight), as St. Louis lost its third straight extra-time contest and fifth straight defeat overall on Ryan Getzlaf's shootout winner.As their woes mount, the Blues will limp to Los Angeles and into the gauntlet, meeting the Kings on the second night of a back-to-back - and in search of their first win since Dec. 29.Allen appeared to have injured his left leg in a collision with Corey Perry. He stayed in momentarily before a break in the action saw him leave his crease, forcing Brian Elliot into the game.Bouwmeester and Stastny picked up upper-body injuries in the first period.Copyright © 2016 Score Media Ventures Inc. All rights reserved. Certain content reproduced under license.

Two days after his blockbuster trade from Nashville, Seth Jones finally knows what it's really like to be a member of the lowly Columbus Blue Jackets.Jones logged the third-most minutes among defensemen, firing one shot on goal and taking a minus-2 rating in his Columbus debut, a 4-1 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes.Though his debut will come with less fanfare than that of Ryan Johansen, who tallied two points in his debut with the Predators, Jones was solid. He did, however, admit that implementing his game into John Tortorella's defensive scheme presents a challenge."Yeah, it's going to be an adjustment," Jones said, according to Aaron Portzline of the Columbus Dispatch. "I tried to just played. (Ryan Murray) was telling me where to go."Jones will have ample time to assimilate. He played almost two minutes more than his season average in his Columbus debut, and is soon expected to inherit a top-pairing role.Copyright © 2016 Score Media Ventures Inc. All rights reserved.
