All part of his scheduled rehab process. https://t.co/Lm5EtBAvyo

A look at how this wildly successful 4 Nations tournament came together: [Sportsnet]
“We’ll see how this plays out over time and we’ll see if anybody disputes this, but it seems to me right now that Boston’s very upset at the care that (Charlie) McAvoy got under Team USA.” [Sportsnet]
Wait, what happened to Quinn Hughes? Wasn’t he going to be joining Team USA for the 4 Nations championship game? “If we’ve learned anything from the Hughes situation and the Bruins’ reaction to McAvoy’s medical treatment with Team USA, it’s that making decisions in an NHL-sanctioned international tournament can be a tricky line to walk. What’s best for country isn’t always what’s best for club.” [The Athletic ($)]
“We might be closing in on a growing Professional Women’s Hockey League footprint. During a media availability on Thursday, Amy Scheer, executive vice president of business operations for the PWHL, stated that the league has been scouting for future markets for expansion and that there might be an announcement on any additional teams soon.” [Daily Faceoff]
“We won’t even say anything. (Gear) will just disappear. We’ll just wash them and then put them back like nothing ever happened.” Inside look at how the Kraken fight the funk: [The Seattle Times]
