Haggerty: How the Bruins and Leafs match up

Magnus Hellberg, the once-touted netminder that came to New York from Nashville two years ago, has reportedly left North America to join the KHL’s Chinese club, Red Star Kunlun. The deal, per Russian news outlet R-Sport, is of the one-year variety and it comes after Hellberg appeared in a pair of games for the Rangers last season, spending most of his time in AHL Hartford. As mentioned above, Hellberg came into the NHL with some fanfare.

The Capitals learned last year in getting Michal Kempny how a seemingly small trade can make a big difference.

Steven Stamkos scored on his first shot since February, left with an injury and Tampa Bay kept dominating without him in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final.
