  • Have a week, Tyler Toffoli. The NHL named the former Habs forward the first star of the week. He’s joined by Tampa Bay Lightning’s Jonas Johansson and Minnesota Wild’s Ryan Hartman as one of three stars. [New Jersey Devils]
  • The Pittsburgh Penguins honoured the late Adam Johnson in a ceremony before their game against Anaheim on Monday night. Johnson, who spent three years in their organization and put up one goal and three assists in 13 games was the parent club, died over the weekend after his throat was gashed by a skate blade during a professional game in the United Kingdom.

  • After a six-game benching, center Morgan Frost will return to the Philadelphia Flyers’ lineup Monday against the visiting Carolina Hurricanes. Coach John Tortorella said the benching was more about other players performing better than it was about Frost playing poorly. The 24-year-old center’s development was one of the Flyers’ best stories last season. He scored a career-high 19 goals and led the team with 40 points over the last 55 games.[Philadelphia Flyers]
  • Injured Colorado Avalanche forward Gabriel Landeskog was in Buffalo to watch his team take on the Sabres. His team didn’t really give him much to cheer about, but it’s nice to know he’s around the team a little bit.[Colorado Avalanche]
