McDavid wins $1M revamped All-Star skills event
Oilers star Connor McDavid won the $1 million NHL All-Star skills competition, an event he helped the league redesign this season.
The cash prizes for NHLers, now that the league has decided to prevent future John Scott kind of situations, always feel a little silly.
Season-ending surgery for Sabres D Samuelsson
Buffalo Sabres defenseman Mattias Samuelsson, 23, who last played in a 4-2 loss to the Anaheim Ducks on Jan. 23, will miss the remainder of the season after he undergoes surgery to repair an upper-body injury, the team announced Sunday.
Oof.

With the Devils saying Saturday that he is “really close” to playing again, New Jersey star Jack Hughes, the club’s second-leading scorer, left All-Star Weekend in Toronto to begin his preparations for the second half of the NHL season.

NHL won’t interfere with Hockey Canada inquiry
NHL commissioner Gary Bettman says the league is not going to do anything to “interfere with or influence” the sexual assault case against multiple players from the 2018 Canadian world junior hockey team.
On the one hand, the NHL is not a court of law and should not serve as one. On the other hand, I feel like many people would not expect that a coworker who was in custody after being accused of a felony (in Canadian law, an indictable offense–similar principle) would get paid leave for this.
