NHL Playoff Picture Solidifies

The Western Conference playoff bracket began to solidify as the San Jose Sharks defeated the Nashville Predators 3-2 on Monday, which officially clinched a postseason berth for the idle Anaheim Ducks despite their recent 3-5-2 slump over the last ten games, marking their first appearance since 2015.

Away from the ice action, the Florida Panthers announced plans to launch a new girls travel hockey program starting later this year, utilizing current and former team practice facilities.
