Let’s take a tour through the league and some of the stories that are making headlines this week:
- Connor Brown had four (!) assists as Canada blasted Italy 7-1 on Sunday at the World Championships to keep their hopes of qualifying for the play-off rounds alive.
- Ian Mendes ran a mailbag on Friday ($) where he answered a number of interesting reader questions, including whether the Sens really can be players for some big names like Dougie Hamilton or Ryan Nugent-Hopkins.
- As you may have heard, the Toronto Maple Leafs have squandered a 3-1 series lead against the Montreal Canadiends and must now win a deciding game at home to avoid yet another embarrassing early play-off exit.
