The Toronto Maple Leafs have a whole bunch of free-agents, and for most of them, this should be the end of their time in Toronto.When the Toronto Maple Leafs brought in Ryan O'Reilly and the rest of their excellent trade deadline haul, it was thought that this would finally put them over the top.And while it did give them an excellent team, it turns out that secondary scoring was once again their undoing.

Has anyone ever seen Toronto Maple Leafs Captain John Tavares identify which pictures contain images of fire hydrants?I didn't think so.Perhaps that would be all it would take to end the speculation that he isn't human, but actually a robot.For years, Toronto Maple Leafs fans have said, mostly in jest, that Tavares is mechanical in his actions.

Martin Jones made 19 saves against his former team
SAN JOSE, Calif.(AP) - James Reimer stopped 26 shots for his second shutout of the season and the San Jose Sharks beat the Seattle Kraken 4-0 on Monday."The team played great," Reimer said."We've had a couple of really solid games start to finish this year and this is one.

Is Patrick Marleau returning to the Sharks?Marleau suggested as much Thursday at the city of San Jose's Patrick Marleau Day proclamation and flag raising event.The 43-year-old, who officially retired from playing last summer, shared, "I would love to be involved with the Sharks organization for sure, as much as I can.

SAN JOSE - There was no question that Patrick Marleau had to be the first San Jose Sharks player to have his number retired by the organization.There also isn't much debate about who should be next in line."I have to assume Joe is probably coming up around the corner," former Sharks forward Ryane Clowe said Friday of Joe Thornton.

SAN JOSE, Calif.(AP) - Patrick Marleau walked to the stage as the fans chanted his name and began tearing up.The emotions carried through the entire ceremony until his No. 12 jersey was raised to the rafters Saturday night as the first to be retired in San Jose Sharks history."It was surreal," Marleau said after the ceremony.

SAN JOSE, Calif.-- Patrick Marleau walked to the stage as the fans chanted his name and began tearing up.The emotions carried through the entire ceremony until his No. 12 jersey was raised to the rafters Saturday night as the first to be retired in San Jose Sharks history."It was surreal," Marleau said after the ceremony, which was held before San Jose's 4-3 shootout loss to the Chicago Blackhawks.

Like many a great explorer, Patrick Marleau didn't really know anything about where he was going, he just went."I didn't know much about San Jose," Marleau recalled thinking when the Sharks selected the teenager second overall in the 1997 NHL Draft."I think in my head, I had a vision of just a lot of beach, a lot of sand, a lot of palm trees."

SAN JOSE - The Blackhawks defeated the San Jose Sharks 4-3 in a shootout at SAP Center on Saturday to extend their winning streak to a season-long five games.Here are 10 observations from the win:
1. Patrick Kane and Sam Lafferty were held out of the lineup for roster management reasons.Kane flew home to Chicago and is away from the team while his situation gets sorted out.

It's hard to believe that for the first several years of his career, San Jose Sharks legend Patrick Marleau seemed uncomfortable in front of the media or having any attention heaped his way.If the Feb. 23-25 festivities surrounding Marleau proved one thing, it was this: Marleau has grown into his role as a de facto ambassador for the Sharks franchise, the city of San Jose and area youth hockey in general.

SAN JOSE The large teal banner with a No. 12 on it began to be raised at 6:46 p.m. on Saturday.Watching from a short distance away, Patrick Marleau, already teary-eyed from a touching 30-minute speech, stood with his family as it was slowly lifted to the rafters at SAP Center.More than 25 years after he played his first game inside the downtown arena, just weeks after his 18th birthday, Marleau had his number officially retired by the San Jose Sharks, the organization with which he made NHL history.

Edmonton Oilers rookie goaltender Stuart Skinner has drawn the assignment from head coach Jay Woodcroft to start in net against the Washington Capitals and Alex Ovechkin on Monday night.It'll be Skinner's first time facing the legendary Ovechkin and he says he's excited about getting the chance to see Ovi's famous shot up close and personal.

Alex Ovechkin has another all-time record and this one is mighty impressive.After scoring his 787th career goal against the Arizona Coyotes, Ovechkin broke his tie with Gordie Howe for the most goals with a single franchise.Appropriately, it came on the power play from Ovi's office in the left circle.

Alex Ovechkin just welcomed former teammate and 2018 Stanley Cup champion, Pheonix Copley, to his exclusive list.Taking a perfect setup from Rasmus Sandin, Ovechkin clapped a one-timer past Copley from his office.Ovechkin beat Copley high to the bar short-side with his shot.Copley was helpless to do anything.

Alex Ovechkin hit Sabres goaltender Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen in the mask after a set play off a faceoff.Ovechkin would not miss on the same exact play seconds later.The goal was Ovechkin's 807th career goal and narrowed the Buffalo Sabres' lead to 3-2 in the second period.Ovechkin took the faceoff win from Evgeny Kuznetsov and sniped it high and to the top corner just under the bar.

Alex Ovechkin will hit another incredible milestone as soon as the puck is dropped for the Capitals' game against the Calgary Flames, Saturday night.Ovechkin, who recently became the NHL's all-time Road Goals record holder, will become the 66th player in NHL history to play 1,300 games.He will also be the first Capitals player ever to play in that many games for the franchise.

Tied 2-2 with the Washington Capitals, the Philadelphia Flyers felt extra giving in overtime.After seemingly not possessing the puck at all during the extra session, the Flyers watched helplessly as Alex Ovechkin scored on a one-timer from the left circle to give the Capitals a 3-2 comeback win.Ovechkin was set up brilliantly by Dylan Strome.

In Toronto Maple Leafs history, there are many stories that have been told.Some haven't.Perhaps, it's because those sources can't be trusted.Here is one of those stories, first told by Kevin, a dishwasher at a failing diner in the suburbs of Toronto.Kevin heard it from his cousin, who heard it from her psychic who specializes in clairsentience.

SAN JOSE - When Darryl Sutter became the San Jose Sharks head coach in 1997, then-owner George Gund III and former general manager Dean Lombardi knew it wasn't going to be easy to turn around the fortunes of a franchise that had sunk to near the bottom of the NHL standings."At that time, Dean Lombardi and Mr. Gund were both adamant about the building part," Sutter told Bay Area News Group on Monday.

Sharks defenseman Erik Karlsson was back inside the Canadian Tire Centre just outside of Ottawa on Saturday, and the Senators team that he starred with for nearly a decade is reportedly interested in a reunion.Karlsson, who is enjoying his best start with the Sharks since was acquired from Ottawa in Sept. 2018, has garnered interest from multiple teams, including the underperforming Senators, ESPN's Kevin Weekes reported earlier Saturday.

SAN JOSE -- Viktor Arvidsson and Jaret Anderson-Dolan each had a goal and an assist for the Los Angeles Kings in a 5-2 win against the San Jose Sharks at SAP Center on Friday.Sean Durzi had two assists, and Jonathan Quick made 29 saves for the Kings (12-9-2), who had lost three straight."It was a good road game," Los Angeles coach Todd McLellan said.

Unsurprisingly, after having one of the best starts to a season for any Sharks player, defenseman Erik Karlsson was named the NHL's Third Star of the Week on Monday.Karlsson had four goals and four assists in three games last week, a total which included his first career NHL hat trick on Nov. 1 against the Anaheim Ducks.
