PWHL Toronto couldn't sweep Minnesota last night on the road, losing both the game 0-2 and potentially Natalie Spooner, who took a hard hit in the third period and looked to be a in a lot of pain. The fact she didn't return to the game doesn't mean much since there were only a few minutes left. Hopefully we get an update on her status today ahead of Game 4 on Wednesday night. Toronto come back home on Friday for Game 5* if necessary.

Oh Natalie Spooner looks really shaken up after that hit. She just went down the tunnel.

Carolina beat New York again to force a Game 6 in Raleigh.

Rangers drop 2 in row, to ‘see what we’re made of’

Rangers captain Jacob Trouba said New York’s failure to close out the Hurricanes at home in Game 5 presents an important character test for his team.

Dallas had a 3-1 lead over Colorado early in the third period. If they did end up winning, they would lead the series 3-1.

What a night in the OHL. The London Knights came all the way from a four-goal deficit in the third period and eventually won the game in double overtime. That win gives London a 3-0 series lead in the OHL Finals. Cowan had three primary assists and a team-leading nine shots.

Valeri Nichushkin is now in stage 3 of the player assistance program. That means he violated stages 1 and 2 of treatment. Seravalli reports he might have failed a drug test. Nichushkin was playing for Colorado in the playoffs when he was suspended. This all came after the hotel room incident in Seattle last spring.
