If he’s done what he’s said he’s done, that probability is going to go up. #tblightning prospect Mitchell Stephens switched up this summer and trained with Gary Roberts for first time. Said it was a total body-changer. Now finally healthy, he’s ready to make a case to crack roster.— Joe Smith (@JoeSmithTB) September 14, 2019 Anyone interested in a “new” podcast?

The NHL did not initially suspend the Washington Capitals center, instead putting him in the NHL’s substance abuse program. Many regarded this as a progressive move and hopefully a way to help Kuznetsov, rather than make things worse. Yesterday, they decided to suspend him three games to start the season and no one is really sure why. Any ideas, Isabelle? Breaking: Evgeny Kuznetsov to be suspended by the NHL. Won't be more than three games.

The Wild announced today that they have signed Spurgeon to a seven-year contract extension worth $53.025 million (that’s an AAV of $7,575,000). It’s a historic contract, in a way, in that it’s the highest AAV contract handed out in Wild history (hat tip to Michael Russo for pointing this out).
