The NHL announced that New Jersey Devils rookie defenseman Luke Hughes was named a finalist for the Calder Memorial Trophy, awarded “to the player selected as the most proficient in his first year of competition.” Hughes joins the Chicago Blackhawks' Connor Bedard and the Minnesota Wild's Brock Faber on the list of finalists. Hughes made his debut with the Devils at the tail end of the 2022-23 season, scoring one goal and one assist in two games.
The Wild were only hours into their offseason when they regrouped at Xcel Energy Center on Friday for exit meetings, and already goaltender Filip Gustavsson was talking about redemption. "Way more inconsistent than last year," Gustavsson said.
Tye Kartye tipped in a slap shot by Oliver Bjorkstrand for the tiebreaking goal with 2:40 remaining, and the Seattle Kraken held on to beat the Minnesota Wild 4-3 on Thursday night to wrap up the regular season for two teams that missed the playoffs. Brock Faber answered Yanni Gourde's empty-netter with 1:46 left by scoring for the Wild on a 6-on-4 power play with 1:05 left and goalie Marc-Andre Fleury pulled, but Kraken goalie Joey Daccord — who had 21 saves — and the defense held up.
