He was great for us. I learned a lot from him. He's a super human and a really good coach. We were very happy that he got another head job in Seattle. They're playing really good defense and aren't giving up much. They take care of the middle of the ice really well. They have some good young players over there. To me, they're defending really well.

The San Jose Sharks placed defenseman Timothy Liljegren on injured reserve on Thursday. Liljegren sustained an upper body injury in the Sharks' 5-1 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes on Tuesday, and will not be eligible to return until Oct. 22, meaning he will miss at least the next three games. The Sharks travel to play the Utah Mammoth on Friday, host the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday, and begin a four-game road trip against the New York Islanders on Tuesday.

Pierre-Luc Dubois, who was manning the team's second line with wingers Aliaksei Protas and Tom Wilson, left the ice at Madison Square Garden late in the third period. Capitals head coach Spencer Carbery did not have much of an update on Dubois' status postgame. "Yeah, we'll evaluate him and see where he's at," Carbery said. "Left the game and did not return."

Florida Panthers will open the 2025-26 season on October 7, hosting the Chicago Blackhawks, Philadelphia Flyers, and Ottawa Senators during a three-game homestand.
