#LeafsForever prospect Easton Cowan is not gonna score many easier than this, thanks to a fortuitous deflection and an empty net. It's his third point of the night, extending his point streak to 11 games.

Gourde will miss the Leafs game over this suspension.

The Sens signed Shane Pinto to a league minimum contract following his 41 game gambling suspension that's kept him out for half the season.

Sports Illustrated is laying off all its staff in what ownership is calling an "evolution". I don't understand much about what's going on here but I hope Species or someone will step into the comments for some insight.
BREAKING: The Arena Group gave notice that it intends to lay off all of Sports Illustrated’s staff, according to an email obtained by @FOS. The move comes after Authentic—the licensing group that owns Sports Illustrated—moved to terminate Arena’s licensing deal. Story to follow.

My @FOS story on the latest development at Sports Illustrated—and why there is some reason for hope.

Sources told FOS that Authentic—which owns SI and licensed operations to The Arena Group—plans to see SI "through a necessary evolution.” https://t.co/nTnbX9ALaM
Five teams are joining the BCHL for next season. The BCHL has been independent from Hockey Canada since last summer. The Brooks Bandits are one of the most popular teams for Canadians to take the step to the NCAA from. The BCHL did this primarily to create a level more tailored for the NCAA.
I'm hearing that 5 #AJHL teams: the Brooks Bandits, Spruce Grove Saints, Okotoks Oilers, Sherwood Park Crusaders, and Blackfalds Bulldogs have all been accepted into the #BCHL for next season.
