NHL Notebook: Senators’ Tkachuk out after surgery, Red Wings defencemen could be moved, and Wolf struggles for Flames

The Ottawa Senators will have to navigate life without their captain for up to two months as Brady Tkachuk underwent surgery to repair a right thumb injury. Tkachuk left Monday’s 4-1 loss to the Nashville Predators partway through the third period. While the team initially hoped surgery wouldn’t be required, a second opinion proved otherwise….

Nashville Predators draft F Ryker Lee 26th overall

With the 26th overall pick, originally from the Tampa Bay Lightning, the Preds have drafted forward Ryker Lee. Lee — a graduate of Shattuck St. Mary’s — played for the Madison Capitols of the USHL last season, where he accumulated 58 points (31G/38A) in 68 games. He’s committed to play hockey at Michigan State University. This is a little earlier than many scouts projected Lee going, but EliteProspects evaluates him as a talented puckhandler and great passer.

Kings at Blues preview: Struggling Blues need some consistent effort

Photo by Joe Puetz/NHLI via Getty Images What is going on with this team? It’s been a while since Blues fans have been treated to a stretch of play this putrid. What began as a good effort loss to the Winnipeg Jets last week has slid into an absolute dumpster fire in which it looks like the Blues are actively trying to lose games. Their 6-2 loss against the Nashville Predators was bad, but their 7-4 loss on Saturday night against the Montreal Canadiens was atrocious. A blown 3-1 lead sl...

Canadiens at Blues preview: Can the Blues snap their losing streak?

Photo by Dilip Vishwanat/Getty Images This could be a tougher task than the Blues expect. The less said about the Blues’ humbling 6-2 loss to the Nashville Predators on Thursday night the better. Goaltending was a mess of flubber and kicksaves straight to the opposing team. Defense, which has been strong through a bulk of the Blues’ season so far, followed the goaltending, making for discombobulated scene. The offense, which shone through the Blues’ first three games, has been nearly abse...

Blues defense, goalkeeping collapse in embarrassing 6-2 loss in Nashville

Christopher Hanewinckel-USA TODAY Sports Once on a five game losing streak, the Predators erupted to punish the Blues. Brayden Schenn blasted a one-timer into the roof of the net to make the score 2-1 midway through the second period. The Blues looked like they may break the game wide open against a Predators team on a five game skid. Instead, Schenn’s goal was the last time the Blues looked remotely interested in scoring for the remainder of the game. Absolutely Schenn-sational. #s...
