WASHINGTON (AP) The Buffalo Sabres held out forward Evander Kane from Saturday night’s matchup against the Washington Capitals.Kane acknowledged this past week he expects to be dealt before the NHL trade deadline on Monday.Kane is second on Buffalo with 20 goals behind the injured Jack Eichel and is third in points (44) behind Eichel and Ryan O’Reilly.The productive left wing has scored at least 20 goals in all three seasons with the Sabres.The Sabres are last in the Eastern Conference.”Management thought it was the best decision moving forward and the best decision for Evander Womens Carl Soderberg Jersey ,” Sabres coach Phil Housley said before the game.Kane becomes an unrestricted free agent this summer.”It’s always difficult when you come to these situations when you’re taking 20 goals out of the lineup,” Housley said. ”I understand the business part of it.”— There’s a good chance Patrik Laine has already asked the NHL if the Winnipeg Jets can take road trips to Helsinki, Finland, more often.The 20-year-old Finn broke out of what many observers considered to be a significant slump with a natural hat-trick to pace the Jets to a 4-2 win over the Florida Panthers on Thursday evening at a sold-out crowd Hartwell Arena in Helsinki.The Jets and Panthers are in the Finnish capital as part of the 2018 NHL Global Series. They square off again on Friday.Article continues below ...Laine had scored just three goals in the first 12 games of the season — all on the power play — and his inconsistent play had seen him dropped down to the third and fourth lines for large portions of the last few games. He was second in league goal scoring last season with 44.“I don’t think you can imagine how good that feels,” Laine said at a post-game press conference. “It’s good to be home and score all those goals back here. It’s pretty awesome.”Laine was particularly ineffective during two losses over the last eight days to the Toronto Maple Leafs Gabriel Landeskog Jersey Kids , during which he did not compare well with Leafs center Auston Matthews, the top pick in the 2016 draft, one spot ahead of Laine.Most fans at the Hartwell Arena were there to see one of two players, Laine or Aleksander Barkov, 23 http://www.avalancheshoponline.com/authentic-j.t.-compher-jersey , of the Panthers. Both were born in Tampere, a two-hour drive from Helsinki.The two were far enough apart in age as juniors that they didn’t know each other growing up but they did wear their country’s colors together at the 2016 IIHF World Championships. Barkov, the Panthers’ captain, played a strong game on Thursday but wasn’t nearly as prominent on the scoresheet. He registered one assist on a goal by defenseman Keith Yandle in the first period.“Overall, as a team Youth Matt Nieto Jersey , we played good in their zone,” Barkov said at his own post-game press conference. “We have another game (Friday) and we have to concentrate on that.”Barkov will make the highlight packages, however, as Jets defenseman Dustin Byfuglien caught him with a legal shoulder check midway through the second period as he looked back for a pass in the Jets zone. Barkov crumpled to the ice and was slow to get up before going directly to the Panthers bench. He finished the game.Former Jets 1.0 star and Finnish hockey legend Teemu Selanne helped whip the crowd up into a frenzy when he dropped the puck for the ceremonial face-off.The Panthers outshot the Jets 38-35 but got out to an impressive 9-0 lead but had nothing to show for it. Jets winger Mathieu Perreault opened the scoring late in the first period.Once the English-speaking reporters were finished asking questions, Laine was left behind to answer their Finnish counterparts. As Byfuglien got up to leave he jokingly told Laine Mikko Rantanen Jersey , “we’re not going to hold the bus for you.”
