It’s the 92nd NHL game to be postponed for coronavirus-related reasons this season. The Buffalo Sabres added forward Kyle Okposo and defenseman Casey Fitzgerald to the league’s COVID-19 protocol list. The Dallas Stars removed 10 players from the list and appear to be on track to resume play Thursday.

The NHL has postponed two more games for coronavirus-related reasons.

OTTAWA, Ontario — (AP) — Chris Kreider, Ryan Lindgren and Barclay Goodrow all scored in the final six minutes to rally the New York Rangers past the Ottawa Senators 3-2 Saturday. Ottawa led 2-0 after Josh Norris' goal early in the third period, but the Senators unravelled late. Goodrow scored the winner with 2:03 left by deflecting a long shot from Sammy Blais past Forsberg. Nick Paul had the other goal for Ottawa, scoring on the Senators’ first shot after a setup from Tim Stutzle. Georgiev, making his second start of the season, made an incredible point-blank save on Artem Zub in the final minutes of the second period.

The Pittsburgh Penguins are happy but not satisfied after clinching a 15th straight playoff berth.

DeSmith figured Ovechkin would try to fire one past him rather than deke his way to the net. DeSmith stayed upright as Ovechkin closed in and felt the familiar smack of rubber hitting him and not the net. “I thought our guys played hard in the second and third against a really good team,” Penguins coach Mike Sullivan said. While Sullivan remains confident Jarry will be fine, he turned to DeSmith to help get Pittsburgh going. Washington went 1 for 4 on the power play, a tap-in goal by Backstrom in the second that gave the Capitals a 3-2 lead.

The past few weeks have seen several recent Stanley Cup winners get rid of members of their championship core. Hornqvist was “blindsided” the Pittsburgh Penguins wanted to trade him. The past several weeks have featured several recent Stanley Cup winners breaking up their championship core by saying goodbye to a key player with his name on the trophy. The agitating, go-to-the-net winger helped Pittsburgh win the Cup in 2016 and 2017.

The Penguins got the action started on the second day of the NHL draft by trading goaltender Matt Murray to the Ottawa Senators. “You just know on days like these if you get a phone call from your GM, it’s usually a trade,” Bonino said. The Penguins previously traded winger Patric Hornqvist to Florida, and Chicago traded defenseman Olli Maatta to Los Angeles. Vegas is looking to trade the 35-year-old and even sweeten the deal with a pick but has to deal with an overflowing goalie market. Bonino and new Predators forward Luke Kunin will be swapping jerseys after the trade that continues the Wild's makeover.

The run on toilet paper amid the coronavirus pandemic has led folks to try and find more creative ways to take care of business. Some are resorting to paper towels or buying up cheap washcloths to use, wash, and reuse while many are resorting to baby wipes, hand wipes and so-called flushable wipes. But those wipes and other items are literally causing problems down the line by clogging up local sewer systems, say officials, who are imploring everyone to stop flushing anything other than toilet paper down the toilet. Others think toilet paper is a cheaper alternative to tissues amid warnings of a pandemic spread of flu-like symptoms. But as long as the shortage exists, toss those so-called flushable hand wipes and baby wipes into the garbage.
