News: Richards skated just 8:10 over 10 shifts in Tuesday's Game 3 loss to Boston. [+]
Impact: He wasn't hurt; the ineffective Richards just spent a lot of time on the bench. He's been absolutely horrid -- and, worse, uninvolved -- in the playoffs following a disappointing regular season, and could be playing his way out of New York. At this point, the best news about Richards would be that he's been playing through an injury. ( RotoWire - Tue. May 21, 2013) |
News: Stralman left Tuesday's Game 3 against Boston after taking a big second-period hit. [+]
Impact: He appeared shaken up after taking a smashing from Milan Lucic and didn't come out for the third period. No word on what the injury is yet, but it's bad news for the Rangers if it's anything serious, as Stralman's been a steady presence on their blue line. ( RotoWire - Tue. May 21, 2013) |
News: Kreider left Tuesday's Game 3 against Boston in the third period after taking a stick underneath his visor. [+]
Impact: He was treated on the bench before heading to the locker room. It didn't look like a major ding, so Kreider probably shouldn't miss much time. ( RotoWire - Tue. May 21, 2013) |

News: Grabovski has reportedly admitted that he bit Montreal forward Max Pacioretty in a game on Feb. 9, reports TSN.ca, which cited Dmitry Chesnokov, a Russian-American writer with Yahoo! Sports. "(Pacioretty) was choking me and I bit him," said Grabovski. "Don't stick your hands where you shouldn't." [+]
Impact: After the incident, the NHL didn't hand down any supplemental discipline because it couldn't determine if there was a bite or not. Honestly comes later, we guess. "To be honest with you he was choking me pretty hard, to the point where I really couldn't breathe," continued Grabo. "And I couldn't pull his hand away at all. I tried to hit him with my other hand, but I couldn't because he was choking me. There was nothing left to do but bite him." We wonder if the league will reconsider its stance and levy something that will be effective to start next season ( RotoWire - Mon. May 20, 2013) |
News: Bozak (triceps) won't require surgery, the Toronto Sun reports. [+]

News: Reimer will start Game 7 against the Bruins on Monday, NHL.com reports. [+]
Impact: Reimer has been great in the past two games for the Leafs, giving up just two goals on 74 shots against over that span. He will need to be good again Monday in order for the Leafs to advance after trailing the Bruins 3-1 in the series. ( RotoWire - Mon. May 13, 2013) |
