With the NHL Draft coming up on June 27 and free agency opening on July 1, discussions between NHL general managers are heating up towards a busy off-season. Each day, TSN.ca provides the latest rumours, reports and speculation from around the NHL beat. Where Willie Go? As TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger tweeted Friday morning, there may be a change of heart in Pittsburgh as hes hearing Willie Desjardins is no longer a slam dunk for the head coaching job following his meeting with the Penguins Thursday night. Dreger adds that as of Thursday night, Desjardins was Pittsburghs target but perhaps his interest in the Canucks coaching job scuttled the Penguins plan. Broadway Bucks Craig Custance of ESPN.com speculates that if the New York Rangers use their second and final compliance buyout on Brad Richards, they could use some of the money saved to go after unrestricted free agents like Paul Stastny, Dan Boyle or Mikhail Grabovski. Floor Issues As John Vogl of The Buffalo News points out, the Sabres are about $16 million under the expected $52 million salary floor for next season. As it stands, their payroll for next season is $36 million, which covers 17 players. Vogl adds that if the team sends qualifying offers to restricted free agents Cory Conacher, Jamie McBain and Chad Ruhwedel, theyre still more than $12 million from the floor with Tyler Ennis and Marcus Foligno left to re-sign. Peter Prinicple As Tracy Myers of Comcast SportsNet.com writes, there have been no contractual discussions yet between the Blackhawks and Peter Regin, though his agent Craig Oster said things should become clearer over the next week as the NHL draft approaches. Regin, 28, played 17 regular season games, recording two goals and four points.

Instead of dwelling on the negative, Oates focused on what was good about the clubs recent play. It worked. One day after Oates positive power talk during practice, the Capitals scored three goals in less than four minutes of the second period en route to a 4-2 win over the Edmonton Oilers on Monday night. Joel Ward, Alex Ovechkin and Troy Brouwer scored 3:55 apart -- including two power-play goals -- and Washington was on its way to snapping its skid. "We feel confidence here. Of course we were kind of upset about the beginning of the year," Ovechkin said. "We win only one game." Ovechkin scored his sixth goal and added an assist in the outburst. Nicklas Backstrom assisted on all three goals for Washington (2-4). "Finally, we get the lead and we play with the lead like most of the game," Ovechkin said. With the score tied at 1, Ward took advantage of a power play and scored his first goal of the season at 10:06. Ovechkin added his sixth goal 3:12 later, and Brouwer -- during another power play -- netted his first 43 seconds after that. Brooks Laich scored Washingtons first goal of the game. The Capitals scored four times on 20 shots against Edmonton goalie Jason LaBarbera. The Oilers have given up at least four goals in each of their six games. "I thought everything was going fine until we brought a puck back into our zone, and that basically started a few dominos to fall," Edmonton coach Dallas Eakins said. The Oilers (1-4-1) have four games left on their season-high six-game road trip. "It goes back to the adage of every moment in the game is important. For three minutes we went backward, and it cost us the game," Eakins said. Boyd Gordon and Will Acton, with the first of his NHL career, scored for Edmonton. The Oilers took a 1-0 lead 9:48 in on Gordons fourth goal. Justin p;Schultz recovered a loose puck near centre ice, skated down the right wing and sent a pass to Gordon, who flipped a shot past goalie Braden Holtby.dddddddddddd Just 3:53 later, Laich scored his first of the season when he fired a shot past LaBarbera. Ward gave the Capitals a 2-1 lead one second after Brouwer and Edmontons David Perron returned to the ice following roughing penalties. Washington had been working with a 4-on-3 power play, and patiently moved the puck in front of the net until Ward scored. Barely three minutes later, it was Ovechkins turn, and then Brouwers. "We were kind of in a tough spot after last game, 1-4, losing ground a little bit," Brouwer said. "Guys are always a little bit upset when theyre not producing because they feel like theyre not helping their team out as much as they could, especially if youre expected to score." Ovechkin was called for interfering with Mike Brown at 12:19 of the third period. A melee ensued with Ovechkin, Brown, the Oilers Luke Gazdic, and Washingtons Mike Green and Karl Alzner all sent off the ice for various infractions. Acton cut the Oilers deficit to 4-2 with 1:42 left in the game. By then, the Capitals had been playing with a three-goal lead for 24 minutes, and that helped boost their confidence. "Youre not scared to make mistakes. Youre not as tentative," Holtby said. NOTES: Edmonton F Nail Yakupov was a healthy scratch for the second straight game.
