USA, Canada both win again at hockey worlds

Coming into the 2016-17 season, Anze Kopitar had led the Los Angeles Kings in scoring in nine consecutive seasons. The Kings finished the season ranked 25th in goals scored (201). Rob Blake replaced Dean Lombardi as GM and John Stevens took over behind the bench for Darryl Sutter, who isn’t exactly known for being a run-and-gun kind of coach.

Forwards generally represent the foundation of a fantasy team’s offense, so attaining the right combination could make or break your season.

The Bruins haven’t officially parted ways with too many of their own impending free agents to this point in the process, but they will be breaking ties with fourth-line energy forward Zac Rinaldo. The winger was told this week that he won’t be back with the Bruins now that his contract is up, and Rinaldo had already changed his Twitter avatar back to a photo of him during his days with the Broad Street Bullies. The 27-year-old Rinaldo spent all of last season at the AHL level while posting five goals and seven points in 29 games for the P-Bruins, and was a minus-12 on a roster littered with talented prospects targeted for the NHL. Rinaldo actually never played another NHL game for the Bruins after getting suspended five games for a head shot on Cedric Paquette late in the 2015-16 season.
