The Red Wings have suspended Dylan Larkin without pay, and can really make it painful if they don't trade him in short order:
Larkin will forfeit $41,237.11 in pay for each day of his suspension.

Neither the U.S. or Canada knows whether its players will be permitted to wear their traditional crests when women's worlds begins next week.
Instead, they may be forced to wear generic jerseys from True Hockey. For example (per Swiss court docs):

“That’s a good problem to have.”
Martin St. Louis was talking about how difficult Jacob Fowler is making it to remove him from the net after a rookie franchise record 46-save shutout. But Fowler’s not the only one that applies to.

Four days after being traded to the Devils, Connor Hellebuyck made a winning debut against the Stars.
From receiving the trade news during practice to attending a team Halloween party on two hours' notice, it's been an eventful few days for the star goalie.
@Peter_Baugh goes behind the scenes of Hellebuyck's arrival in New Jersey:

“Up until the day I got traded and signed with Washington, I thought I was going to be a Sabre for life."
Alex Tuch is getting set to face the Sabres for the first time since signing in Washington this summer. I caught up with Tuch earlier this week to talk about that and a lot more. Free to read:

Connor Hellebuyck says there's a lot he needs to say to Winnipeg Jets fans, but he's going to wait until after this weekend's Heritage Classic to share those words:
"I hope they know I care about them."

Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen on Connor Hellebuyck finally getting traded.
"It's going to quiet a lot of converstaion around the league. I mean that's part of sports and that's what makes sports great is that there's always those conversations and names thrown around, but I think there's just so much talk about it. Around the league, around our team. I think it's good for everybody that some of that noise quiets down. But in the end, it's always gonna be there, especially when you're at the top level of sports. You're going to have to learn to deal with it. But in the end, I think it's a good thing for everybody."
