Should NHL players have to fight after delivering a clean hit?
DALLAS — Connor Murphy’s stick was wedged in Joel Eriksson Ek’s armpit as they battled for a puck in the corner during a game at Chicago’s United Center in November, and a couple of good yanks didn’t do anything to dislodge it. So Murphy gave the Minnesota Wild center a shove to free himself.Eriksson Ek fell awkwardly into the boards, his face meeting the wall. The shove itself was pretty innocuous, but the result — and the sheer sound of the collision — made it seem worse. Almost immediately, M...

Sabres' goalie question isn't their only issue after Game 2 loss to Bruins
BUFFALO, N.Y. — Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen stood in front of his locker and took the blame head-on. What else could the Buffalo Sabres goalie do?The Sabres were already losing 1-0 to the Bruins in the second period when Morgan Geekie flipped a backhand from center ice that was intended to be a dump in. He put the puck toward Luukkonen, and it bounced and went right over Luukkonen’s glove. With 3:31 left in the second period, the Sabres were suddenly down 2-0.“That’s my fault,” Luukkonen said. “There’s...
