Switching between executive and coaching jobs in two different leagues across two completely different sports unsurprisingly did not yield productive results for Krueger or the Sabres, with Buffalo snagging only 16 points through 28 games while posting a dead-last record of 6-18-4 in 2021 after a 25th place finish last season.Vancouver Canucks NHL Design Face Masks

Like fine wine, Bergeron is improving with age. Aided by centering Brad Marchand and David Pastrnak, Bergeron is averaging slightly more than a point-per-game the last four seasons. This season, Bergeron has 24 points in 26 games while providing his usual elite level of defensive play as the No. 1 center in Boston. Bergeron is helped by skating just 18 minutes per game, including three minutes on the man-advantage, keeping him fresh. At his current pace, he could top 1,000 points sometime during the 2022-23 season.Boston Bruins NHL Design Face Masks

"He was excited to get going and I thought he played well," Flahr said Monday to NBC Sports Philadelphia. "He scored a goal displaying his NHL-quality release and played a sound game overall. His role, ice time and production will all increase as he gets his legs under him, gets adjusted and finds a general comfort level out there. Overall, it was a positive first step and I know he was excited to get into game action."
