Morning Notes: Walsh, Penguins, Pegula

February 7, 2023 at 10:30 am CDT | by Gavin Lee 2 Comments

According to Frank Seravalli of Daily Faceoff, the NHLPA is expected to name Marty Walsh as its next executive director. The sitting U.S. Secretary of Labor will be installed after Tuesday’s presidential address, though a formal executive board vote is still required. Seravalli reports it is expected to be a unanimous approval for Walsh, a former Boston mayor who was only included in the search a few weeks ago.

Here are some more notes from around the league:

  • The Pittsburgh Penguins will have Kasperi Kapanen and Josh Archibald available this evening, but Tristan Jarry isn’t quite ready to return. Casey DeSmith will get the start, his 23rd appearance of the season. The 31-year-old netminder has a .901 save percentage on the year and is 7-10-4, proving exactly why the Penguins need Jarry back as soon as possible (and why goaltending is an area of concern as they head toward the trade deadline). Getting Kapanen, who hasn’t played since January 18, back to playing at a high level would also be huge for Pittsburgh; the 26-year-old has just six goals and 17 points through 35 games this season.
  • Regardless of what you think of the Buffalo Sabres ownership, it is hard to read professional tennis player Jessica Pegula’s heartfelt piece in the Players’ Tribune this morning, which revealed that her mother has been battling serious health issues since last summer. Kim Pegula, president and co-owner of the Sabres (and Jessica’s mother), suffered cardiac arrest in June 2022, leading to a long stay in the hospital. She is now on the road to recovery.

    Hope Kim Pegula gets in the fast lane for her recovery. Never rooting against health problems here.

    Jarry is a fit, athletic kid.

    If he were skin and bones like Matt Murray or Beau Bennett, I’d take him being injury prone more seriously.

    As of now, it can chalked up to a Jason Zucker like run of bad luck, but we need him back and healthy ASAP.

    UNLESS, the team knows something we don’t (i.e. doesn’t train hard enough, etc.) we should use this opportunity to extend him at a discount.
