Andrew Hammond Placed On Injured Reserve

Montreal Canadiens goaltender Andrew Hammond has been placed on Injured Reserve with a lower-body injury, the team announced on Friday. He took down Calgary 5-4 in overtime Thursday night, but it appears that the 34-year-old also tweaked something.

Tyler Seguin, Miro Heiskanen Questionable For Friday

Dallas Stars forward Tyler Seguin and defenseman Miro Heiskanen are both regarded as game-time decisions for Friday's matchup against Winnipeg.

Alexander Radulov Pops Up With A Big Power-Play Goal

Dallas Stars winger Alexander Radulov ended a 10-game goal drought on Wednesday, netting the game-winner on the power play in a 4-3 victory over Los Angeles.
