Patrick Roy (COL - Goaltender)
News: Roy has been hired as coach of the Colorado Avalanche. The team says Thursday it has reached an agreement in principle with the Hall of Fame goaltender to take over as coach and vice president of hockey operations. [+]
Impact: The 47-year-old Roy won two Stanley Cups with Colorado. He becomes the sixth coach in Avalanche history and the 14th in franchise history - the team began as the Quebec Nordiques and joined the NHL in 1979. Roy has spent the last eight seasons as coach and general manager of the Quebec Remparts of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, winning the 2006 Memorial Cup. He is also a part owner of the QMJHL franchise. ( STATS - Thu. May 23, 2013) |

News: Coach Todd McLellan said Burish (hand) is "very close" to playing and could be available for Sunday's Game 6 against the Kings, the Calgary Sun reports. [+]
Impact: Burish was similarly questionable for Game 5 but ultimately sat out in the 3-0 loss to the Kings. The 30-year-old didn't supply much in the way of offense in the regular season, charting just 3 points and minus-7 rating over 46 games. ( RotoWire - Fri. May 24, 2013) |
News: Demers returned to play in Thursday's Game 5 match-up after being out with an injury since mid-April. [+]
Impact: Demers only say 3:47 of ice time though and had two minutes in the box for a rough boarding call against LA's Robyn Regher. His return was notable because, like teammate Brent Burns, the Sharks have moved Demers to forward. Could be interesting for future games if the Sharks can stay alive. ( RotoWire - Fri.

News: Niemi gave up a pair of goals on 28 shots in a losing effort Thursday against the Kings. [+]
Impact: With the Kings now up 3-2 in the series, Niemi will be tasked with stepping up his play even further in Game 6 when the series returns to San Jose. Overall, he's played well through the first five games, giving up just 10 goals in that span. ( RotoWire - Fri. May 24, 2013) |
