{coyotes} April 27: Hasek makes 70 saves, outduels Brodeur

THIS DATE IN HISTORY: April 27

1994: Dominik Hasek wins arguably the best goaltending duel in the modern era of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Hasek outduels Martin Brodeur by making 70 saves before Dave Hannan scores 5:43 into the fourth overtime to give the Buffalo Sabres a 1-0 victory against the New Jersey Devils in Game 6 of their Eastern Conference Quarterfinal series at Memorial Auditorium.

Hasek makes 31 saves through regulation, one more than Brodeur. But the Devils outshoot the Sabres 35-20 through three overtimes and take the first four shots in the fourth extra period. However, Hannan takes a pass from Jason Dawe and lifts a backhander through traffic that goes past Brodeur's glove. It sends the series to a seventh game in New Jersey that's almost as good; the Devils win 2-1 to advance.

 

MORE MOMENTS

1971: Jean Beliveau sets the playoff record for career assists during the Montreal Canadiens' 6-1 victory against the Minnesota North Stars at the Forum in Game 5 of the Semifinals. Beliveau's assists on three of Montreal's five third-period goals give him 92, one more than the previous record held by Gordie Howe. He surpasses Howe's mark four years to the day after scoring twice in Game 4 of the Final, a 6-2 victory against the Toronto Maple Leafs, to break the Canadiens record for playoff points held by another NHL icon, Maurice Richard.

 

1992: Scotty Bowman becomes the NHL's all-time leader in playoff games coached when he's behind the bench for the Pittsburgh Penguins' 5-2 victory against the Washington Capitals in Game 5 of the Patrick Division Semifinals. It's his 191st playoff game, breaking the mark he shares with Dick Irvin. Bowman finishes his NHL career with 353 playoff games coached; Al Arbour and Joel Quenneville are the only other coaches with more than 200.

 

1998: The St. Louis Blues set a playoff record by scoring four power-play goals in a span of 3:07 in the third period. The Los Angeles Kings lead 3-0 in Game 3 of their Western Conference Quarterfinal series, but after Sean O'Donnell is given a five-minute major penalty at 8:34, the Blues get goals by Pascal Rheaume, Brett Hull, Pierre Turgeon and Terry Yake and win 4-3. Defenseman Chris Pronger assists on three goals in a span of 2:00.

 

2002: Ron Francis scores a power-play goal and goalie Kevin Weekes makes it stand up for the first playoff shutout in Carolina Hurricanes history, a 1-0 road win against the Devils in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals. Weekes makes 16 of his 32 saves in the third period to help Carolina eliminate New Jersey from the playoffs.

 

2011: At age 43, Mark Recchi becomes the oldest player to score a goal in a Game 7. Recchi scores 5:33 into the Boston Bruins' deciding game against Montreal in the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals at TD Garden. Recchi's goal gives Boston a 2-0 lead; the Bruins win 4-3 in overtime.

 

2012: Ray Whitney of the Phoenix Coyotes becomes the second-oldest player in NHL history to score an overtime goal in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. The 39-year-old scores at 14:04 of OT to give the Coyotes a 4-3 win against the Nashville Predators in Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals at Jobing.com Arena. It's the second playoff OT goal of his career and comes near 17 years after he scores in OT for the San Jose Sharks against the Calgary Flames on May 19, 1995. That's the longest gap between playoff overtime goals in NHL history

 

2016: The Anaheim Ducks lose their fourth Game 7 at home in as many years when the Nashville Predators win 2-1 at Honda Center in the deciding game of the Western Conference First Round. Colin Wilson and Paul Gaustad score, and Pekka Rinne makes 36 saves for Nashville, which is playing its first Game 7 since entering the NHL in 1998.

{coyotes} King Clancy Trophy finalists unveiled

Oliver Ekman-Larsson of the Arizona Coyotes, Henrik Lundqvist of the New York Rangers and Jason Zucker of the Minnesota Wild were named finalists for the King Clancy Memorial Trophy, awarded "to the player who best exemplifies leadership qualities on and off the ice and has made a noteworthy humanitarian contribution in his community."

The winner, chosen by a committee of senior NHL executives led by Commissioner Gary Bettman and Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly, will receive a $40,000 donation from the National Hockey League Foundation to benefit a charity or charities of his choice. The two runners-up each will get a $5,000 donation.

The results will be announced at the 2019 NHL Awards presented by Bridgestone at the Mandalay Bay Events Center sports and entertainment complex in Las Vegas on June 19.

Ekman-Larsson has served as Hockey Is For Everyone ambassador for the Coyotes the past three seasons. His strong connection with the community includes $250,000 in donations made to the Boys and Girls Club. The 27-year-old defenseman has purchased a suite each season at Gila River Arena and invited branches of the club to allow the kids the opportunity to watch games and then meet him after every home game. He helped Phoenix Children's Hospital with their local promotion for Childhood Cancer Awareness month with social media posts, and has supported Playworks, a local group with an anti-bullying campaign, by sharing that "Real Players Don't Bully" on social media through photos and videos. He continues his work in support of Hockey Fights Cancer and Hockey Talks by wearing purple (tie/hat/pin) for awareness and being active on social media.

Lundqvist and his wife, Therese, founded the Henrik Lundqvist Foundation (HLF). They have raised more than $2.5 million to benefit four partners; Together for Better, New York Presbyterian Children's Hospital, Ronald McDonald House, and Garden of Dreams Foundation, as well as the foundation's own program, the HLF Young Ambassador Program. Lundqvist has served as spokesperson for Garden of Dreams since 2009, and his support and involvement has helped the program raise $467,000. HLF has given grants and made commitments of nearly $1 million in support of children's health and education. The 37-year-old goalie has raised more than $18,000 for Hockey Fights Cancer and more than $2,900 for Hockey is for Everyone through donations of signed memorabilia.

Zucker and his wife, Carly, began a fundraising campaign for the Zucker Family Suite and Broadcast Studio at the University of Minnesota Masonic Children's Hospital in Minneapolis in 2017. The space will allow children and their families to watch Wild games in a setting that simulates the experience of being at the game itself. The Zuckers started the project with a $160,000 donation and encouraged others in the community to donate in increments of 16 -- Jason's jersey number -- to the #GIVE16 campaign, which has raised more than $1.2 million in less than 12 months. In August 2018, Zucker partnered with Da Beauty League to host a showcase game with players from Minnesota Special Hockey, a modified ice hockey program in Minnesota for players of all ages with development disabilities. The 27-year-old left wing, who serves as Hockey Is For Everyone ambassador for the Wild, scored 21 goals this season and pledged $1,600 for each one. Zucker was a finalist for the King Clancy Memorial Trophy last season.

{coyotes} Eichel leads young NHL players on United States roster at Worlds

 

Jack Eichel highlights a roster of prominent young NHL players representing the United States at the 2019 IIHF World Championship in Slovakia from May 10-26. The 22-year-old Buffalo Sabres center, who had 82 points (28 goals, 54 assists) in 77 games, was one of 17 players named to the roster by USA Hockey on Thursday.

Other 23-or-younger players named were Detroit Red Wings center Dylan Larkin (22), Chicago Blackhawks left wing Alex DeBrincat (21), Arizona Coyotes center Clayton Keller (20), Ottawa Senators center Colin White (22), Vancouver Canucks defenseman Quinn Hughes (19), Canucks goalie Thatcher Demko (23) and Montreal Canadiens goalie prospect Cayden Primeau (19).

"We're excited about our team and it's fun to hear the passion our players have when I've talked to them about representing our country," said Chris Drury, general manager of the 2019 World Championship team and assistant GM of the New York Rangers. "We have one objective and that is to come home with the gold medal."

In addition to the seven players 23-or-younger, USA Hockey also named forwards Patrick Kane (Blackhawks), Frank Vatrano (Florida Panthers), Luke Glendening (Red Wings), James van Riemsdyk (Philadelphia Flyers) and Chris Kreider (Rangers), defensemen Ryan Suter (Minnesota Wild), Brady Skjei (Rangers) and Alec Martinez (Los Angeles Kings), and goalie Cory Schneider (New Jersey Devils).

Kane will be captain. Additions to the roster will be announced as players are confirmed.

Kane, DeBrincat, Larkin, Kreider, Martinez, White and Hughes each won a bronze medal for the United States at the 2018 IIHF World Championship.

The U.S. will open preliminary-round play against Slovakia at Steel Arena in Kosice on May 10 (2:15 p.m. ET; NHLN). Joining them in Group A are Canada, Finland, Germany, Denmark, France and Great Britain.

All U.S. games will be televised live on NHL Network.

Group B consists of Sweden, Russia, Czech Republic, Switzerland, Norway, Latvia, Austria and Italy.

{coyotes} Devils win NHL Draft Lottery, get No. 1 pick

 

TORONTO -- The New Jersey Devils have the No. 1 pick in the 2019 NHL Draft after winning the NHL Draft Lottery on Tuesday.

The New York Rangers won the No. 2 pick, and the Chicago Blackhawks won the No. 3 selection.

The Devils, who had an 11.5 percent chance of winning the lottery, will pick No. 1 for the second time in three years. They won the 2017 NHL Draft Lottery and selected center Nico Hischier with the No. 1 choice.

The 2019 NHL Draft will be held at Rogers Arena in Vancouver on June 21 and 22.

The Devils could use the pick to select center Jack Hughes of the USA Hockey National Team Development Program under-18 team in the United States Hockey League, or right wing Kaapo Kakko of TPS in Liiga, Finland's top division.

Chicago had the 12th-best chance to win the lottery; New York was sixth, and New Jersey was third.

The results left the Colorado Avalanche, who with the Ottawa Senators' pick had the best odds (18.5 percent) to win the lottery, with the No. 4 pick. The Los Angeles Kings (No. 5) also fell three spots, and the Detroit Red Wings (No. 6) and Buffalo Sabres (No. 7) each fell two spots from what their odds were.

"[Being selected No. 1] would be a dream come true, something I've thought about for a long time," Hughes said. "I want to be the first player chosen, be the best player in the draft. But I also feel it would be great for USA Hockey and the National Team Development Program."

Hughes (5-foot-10, 170 pounds), No. 1 on NHL Central Scouting's midterm list of North American skaters, leads the NTDP with 86 points (23 goals, 63 assists) in 41 games. The 17-year-old holds NTDP records for assists (139) and points (202) in 101 games over two seasons.

"Jack is an elite skater who plays the game at top speed both with and without the puck, he sees the ice tremendously well and finds open space to create scoring chances," said Dan Marr, director of NHL Central Scouting. "He has a complete package of skills that suggest he will be a franchise NHL player and game-changer."

Hughes is the brother of Vancouver Canucks defenseman Quinn Hughes, the No. 7 pick of the 2018 NHL Draft. Quinn, 19, made his NHL debut on March 28 and had three assists in five games for Vancouver after completing his second season at the University of Michigan.

"It's the NHL. I've said it before, I think they're all great spots and I'll be excited to go wherever I wind up, so there's no real preference for me," Hughes said before the results were announced.

Kakko (6-foot-2, 194), No. 1 on NHL Central Scouting's midterm list of International skaters, scored 22 goals in 45 games, a record for a first-time draft-eligible player in Liiga, passing Aleksander Barkov (21 goals in 53 games) for Tappara in 2012-13. Kakko's 0.84 points per game ranks fourth on the single-season list of under-18 players in Liiga, behind Mikael Granlund (2009-10, 0.93), Barkov (2012-13, 0.91) and Jari Torkki (1982-83, 0.88).

Kakko is expected to play for Finland in the 2019 IIHF World Championship in Slovakia, May 10-26. Hughes will play for the United States in the 2019 IIHF World Under-18 Championship in Sweden, April 18-28.

"Kakko has excellent offensive instincts, is dangerous around the net and also a good passer and playmaker," said Goran Stubb, NHL director of European Scouting. "He could be NHL-ready as early as next season after playing two seasons (51 games) in the men's league."

The 15 NHL teams that did not qualify for the Stanley Cup Playoffs participated in the lottery.

For the fourth straight year, the lottery assigned the top three picks in the first round. Three draws were held: the first determined the No. 1 pick, the second determined the No. 2 pick, and the third determined the No. 3 pick.

Picks 4-15 were assigned in reverse order of standings from this season.

Flatty, 

Two things, I could definitely use an updater MZJ list, and would you consider sponsoring an ex-London ATC airliner spotter to join Planebase? 

Cheers,

Mac.

Apologies if this comes through twice. I posted a few days back but it hasn't appeared.

Does anyone have an up to date list of what is stored at Goodyear?

Many Thanks

{coyotes} Arizona Coyotes come up just short of playoff spot

 

The Arizona Coyotes lost their starting goaltender after 12 starts, the kind of setback that could spoil an entire season.

The injuries kept coming, piling up like no other team in the league, which should have sent them to the bottom of the standings again.

Yet there they were the final week of the season, fighting for a playoff spot.

Talk about flourishing in the face of adversity.

Following the lead of coach of the year candidate Rick Tocchet, the Coyotes finished with a winning record for the first time in five years and were four points short of a Western Conference playoff spot.

''I think we took huge strides this year,'' Coyotes forward Brad Richardson said. ''Last year, we were probably out of the playoffs Nov. 1, I would think. We were a couple games away this year. So I think we made huge strides.''

The Coyotes were hoping to become a playoff contender after a strong finish to the 2017-18 season.

They took a big hit in late November, when starting goalie Antti Raanta went down with a season-ending knee injury.

The injuries didn't stop there. Nick Schmaltz, who played well after being acquired in a trade with Chicago, suffered a season-ending injury. Richardson, fellow forwards Derek Stepan, Alex Galchenyuk and Christian Dvorak missed at least 10 games. So did defensemen Jakob Chychrun and Jason Demers.

Despite suffering more setbacks than any other NHL team, the Coyotes kept scratching and clawing.

With Tocchet pulling the mental strings, superb goaltending from Darcy Kuemper and a steady defense, Arizona briefly moved into a playoff spot in March after going 10-2-0.

Arizona remained in the playoff hunt into April, but couldn't keep up the pace as the Colorado Avalanche got hot at the right time.

The Coyotes finished 39-35-8, their best record since reaching the Western Conference Finals, and had 86 points. Colorado had one fewer win, but had 90 points.

''We have to keep moving forward,'' Tocchet said. ''We can't take a step back.''

A few more things from the Coyotes' season:

KUEMPER'S TIME: Kuemper had been a career backup before Raanta went down, never playing more than 31 games in a season.

Thrust into the No. 1 spot, the 28-year-old played like a Vezina Trophy-worthy goalie. Kuemper carried the Coyotes at times during their playoff push and finished the season 27-20-8. He had five shutouts, a 2.33 goals-against average and .925 save percentage.

TOCCHET'S TURN: Tocchet was the steady rudder through the choppy ice during his second season at the helm, putting himself in the conversation for the Jack Adams award as the NHL's top coach.

Keeping his players focused and positive, the former NHL player was the calming influence the Coyotes needed amid all the adversity.

Barry Trotz is the Jack Adams front-runner after turning around the New York Islanders, but Tocchet put his name in the mix with a superb coaching job.

SCORING WOES: As has been the case seemingly every season in the desert, scoring was a big problem for the Coyotes.

They had a few scoring spurts, but the Coyotes again were among the NHL's worst scoring teams, finishing with 209 goals and averaging 2.5 per game.

{coyotes} 2019 NHL Draft Lottery will determine first three teams to pick

 

The 2019 NHL Draft Lottery will be held at the CBC/Sportsnet studios in Toronto on Tuesday (8 p.m. ET; NBCSN, SN, TVAS).

The lottery will set the order for the first 15 selections of the 2019 NHL Draft, which will be held at Rogers Arena in Vancouver on June 21-22.

Here's how the Draft Lottery works, which teams are involved, what's at stake and what fans can look forward to:

 

[RELATED: 2019 NHL Draft Lottery odds announced]

 

How does the Draft Lottery work?

Each of the 15 teams that missed the Stanley Cup Playoffs (or the teams that have acquired the first-round pick of a non-playoff team) will participate. The odds of each team winning is allocated based on inverse order of the final season standings.

Three separate drawings will be held. The first determines the No. 1 selection. The odds for the remaining teams will be adjusted proportionally for the second drawing, which will determine the No. 2 pick, and again for the third drawing, which will determine the No. 3 pick.

The remaining teams will then receive picks 4-15 based on inverse order of the standings. Any of the 15 teams can win the lottery, but no team can move back more than three spots.

 

Can a team that made the Stanley Cup Playoffs win the lottery?

This year, yes. The Colorado Avalanche, who are the second wild card into the playoffs in the Western Conference, have the Ottawa Senators' first pick as part of last season's trade that sent forward Matt Duchene to the Senators.

 

What are the odds of each team winning the No. 1 pick?

Here are the odds of winning the lottery for each team:

Colorado Avalanche (from OTT): 18.5 percent
Los Angeles Kings: 13.5 percent
New Jersey Devils: 11.5 percent
Detroit Red Wings: 9.5 percent
Buffalo Sabres: 8.5 percent
New York Rangers: 7.5 percent
Edmonton Oilers: 6.5 percent
Anaheim Ducks: 6.0 percent
Vancouver Canucks: 5.0 percent
Philadelphia Flyers: 3.5 percent
Minnesota Wild: 3.0 percent
Chicago Blackhawks: 2.5 percent
Florida Panthers: 2.0 percent
Arizona Coyotes: 1.5 percent
Montreal Canadiens: 1.0 percent

 

Does the team with the best odds of winning the Lottery usually get the No. 1 pick?

Not necessarily. This will be the 25th time the Draft Lottery has been used to determine the No. 1 pick, and the team with the best odds has won nine times in the previous 24 drawings.

That includes the Pittsburgh Penguins in 2005 (who selected Sidney Crosby), when all 30 teams were involved in the lottery but the Penguins were one of four teams with the maximum three balls in the drawing.

However, the team with the best odds has won it twice in the previous three years. The Buffalo Sabres had the best odds last year and won, then selected defenseman Rasmus Dahlin No. 1 at the 2018 Draft. The Toronto Maple Leafs had the best odds in 2016 and won, then selected forward Auston Matthews No. 1 at the 2016 Draft.

The Colorado Avalanche had the best odds in 2017, but the New Jersey Devils, who had the fifth-best odds, won the lottery and selected forward Nico Hischier with the first pick of the 2017 Draft; the Avalanche got the No. 4 pick and selected defenseman Cale Makar.

 

If No. 1 isn't always the winner, which spot is?

Teams with the second- and third-best odds at the Lottery each have won it four times. After that, three teams with the fifth-best odds have won the Lottery; the Devils in 2017, the Chicago Blackhawks in 2007 (Patrick Kane), and the New York Islanders in 2000 (Rick DiPietro).

 

When will I find out the Draft Lottery results?

The Draft Lottery results will be announced live during a one-hour show Tuesday. NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly will reveal the order, with the 15 teams each having one representative in the room.

 

What's at stake?

The chance to select one of the top forwards in the 2019 NHL Draft. The top choice could be center Jack Hughes from USA Hockey's National Team Development Program Under-18 team, or right wing Kaapo Kakko from TPS in Liiga, Finland's top professional league.

Hughes (5-foot-10, 170 pounds) led the NTDP with 86 points (23 goals, 63 assists) in 41 games. In two seasons with the NTDP, he set program marks for assists (134) and points (197). The 17-year-old was No. 1 on NHL Central Scouting's midterm ranking of North American forwards.

Kakko (6-2, 194) had 38 points (22 goals, 16 assists) in 45 games, and five points (one goal, four assists) in five Liiga playoff games. Kakko also scored the winning goal for Finland against the United States in the gold-medal game at the 2019 IIHF World Junior Championship. The 18-year-old was No. 1 on NHL Central Scouting's midterm ranking of International skaters.

"Consideration for No. 1 has expanded to a 1A and 1B ever since the 2019 World Junior Championship, where Kakko had a strong performance on the world stage and continued his impressive play in Finland's Liiga," NHL Central Scouting director Dan Marr said. "Meanwhile Jack Hughes continues his wizardry scoring and playmaking, displaying his quick wits and speed while setting all kinds of scoring records."
