Draisaitl Out, Wennberg Questionable, Boisvert Signs, Varlamov Practices

0:00On this March 17th, here's what's making headlines for the NHL. Edmonton Euler's star Leon Drysidle is set to miss Tuesday's home game against the San Jose Sharks at 9 p.m. Eastern time. He suffered a lower body injury during Sunday's win over Nashville after a hit early in the first period. Dre's Aedle has 97 points this season, ranking 4th league-wide, and the Euler's sit-third in the Pacific Division. The team held a doctor's appointment for him Monday, but coach Chris Noblowk expects him out for some time without a clear timeline. With playoffs on the line and the Euler's chasing Vegas and Anaheim, they are prioritizing his long-term health over rushing him back. Over in San Jose, center-Alexander Winberg remains questionable for that same match-up due to an upper body injury from Saturday's game. He set out Sunday's loss to Ottawa, where Ford Philip Kuryschef filled in. Winberg has 43 points in 64 games and is considered one of the shark's top players.

1:00Chicago Blackhawks announced a three-year entry-level deal, Monday for 19-year-old forward Sasha Boyzberg, their 18th overall pick last year. He posted 17 points at Boston University this season and heads to Chicago, though immigration could delay his debut against Minnesota on Tuesday at 7 p.m. Eastern. New York Islander's goalie Semion Varlimov joined practice Monday as he recovers from two knee replacements. The 37-year-old has not played since late November and remains on long-term injured reserve in his four-year deal's third season. Coach Patrick Roy praised his hard work, but the team does not expect him back this year. The Daily News Now is grateful to our sponsor for today's episode. What is cooler than cool?
