| Penguins ready to welcome back Murray, but Letang’s status is in doubt |
| The Pittsburgh Penguins are set to welcome back the one player that could significantly alter their 2018-19 season, and are also facing the possibility of being without the one player they may not be able to replace. Matt Murray, the team’s regular starting goalie over the past two years, is expected to be back in the lineup on Saturday night for the first time since Nov. 17 when the team plays host to the Los Angeles Kings. Letang had to leave the Penguins’ 5-3 win over the Boston Bruins on Friday night with just under eight minutes to play in the third period after he found himself tangled up with Bruins forward Joakim Nordstrom and awkwardly fell to the ice. |

| Sprong eyes return to Steel City as Ducks visit Penguins |
| Sprong has three goals in five games with Anaheim -- a seeing-eye tally in his first game with the Ducks while displaying a shooting skill reminiscent of Pittsburgh star center Sidney Crosby. Sprong recorded both goals Saturday in a 2-1 win at Columbus, one to tie it and one in overtime. "I think (the success is based on) the coaching staff and management giving me an opportunity to play the role I think I can play," Sprong told Fox Sports West in pretty obvious contrast to what he experienced with the Penguins. |

| Daniel Sprong making most of opportunity with Anaheim Ducks |
| In five games with the Ducks he’s scored three times — with all three goals being pretty meaningful ones. Compare that to the nine points he compiled in 42 career games with the Penguins over parts of three seasons. His first goal came on his first shot in his first game with Anaheim on a tough angle against Corey Crawford of the Chicago Blackhawks. |

| PHT Power Rankings: NHL’s most dominant performances so far |
| In this week’s PHT Power Rankings we take a look at the players, lines, and positions that have put together the most dominant performances through the first two-and-a-half months of the NHL season. There are a lot of the usual suspects in here, from the top line of the Colorado Avalanche, the ridiculous depth of the Tampa Bay Lightning, to the unstoppable force that is the Alex Ovechkin and Nicklas Backstrom duo. 1. Colorado’s top line. There should be no debate as to which team boasts the NHL’s best line and it is the trio of Nathan MacKinnon, Mikko Rantanen, and Gabriel Landeskog. |

| Should Ian Cole be suspended for kneeing Brock Nelson? |
| On paper, Monday was an excellent night for Barry Trotz and the New York Islanders. The Islanders topped the Colorado Avalanche 4-1, keeping the Avs’ scorching-hot top line mostly in check. Nathan MacKinnon grabbed an assist on Gabriel Landeskog‘s power-play goal, but Mikko Rantanen was held pointless for the first time in ages. |

| The NHL Evening Skate for Dec. 17 |
| Flyers do indeed dismiss coach Dave Hakstol After either some indecision inside hockey operations or over-anxiousness on the part of the media Sunday, the Philadelphia Flyers have indeed gone ahead and fired head coach Dave Hakstol. Led by new Flyers general manager Chuck Fletcher, the organization made it official shortly after another round of reports from those close to the franchise surfaced again Monday. More] Blackhawks goalie Corey Crawford suffers another concussion, placed on IR Chicago Blackhawks goalie Corey Crawford suffered a concussion after hitting his head on a goalpost in a 7-3 loss to the San Jose Sharks on Sunday. |

| Battle of backups when Rangers host Ducks |
| Both teams likely tipped their hands Monday regarding their goalie decisions for Tuesday By starting John Gibson for the third straight game -- Gibson earned the win against the Penguins by making 28 saves -- the Ducks (19-11-5) all but ensured Chad Johnson will make his debut with the club against the Rangers. Johnson was claimed off waivers from the St. Louis Blues on Dec. 11, two days after Anaheim lost backup goalie Ryan Miller to a sprained knee. Once Johnson takes the ice for the Ducks, he'll have suited up for more than a quarter of the 31-team NHL. |

| Slumping Kings host streaking Jets |
| Winnipeg, meanwhile, has combined for 27 goals in its five-game winning streak to move to fourth in the NHL at 3.64 goals a game. Patrik Laine had a four-game point streak end in the win over Tampa Bay on Sunday, but Mark Scheifele and Dustin Byfuglien each extended his point streaks to five games, and Mathieu Perreault scored a goal for the fourth consecutive game. "Right now, I'm just riding the wave," Perreault told the Winnipeg Sun before Sunday's win. |
