The goalies, who teamed up to represent the Central Division in the Discover NHL Tendy Tandem at the 2023 NHL All-Star Skills presented by DraftKings Sportsbook on Friday, were trying to be deferential to other's wishes by not declaring who was going to be the shooter and who would play in goal for the competition. Finally, Saros, the Nashville Predators goalie, told his Winnipeg Jets counterpart, "I would prefer to shoot." Saros and Hellebuyck won the debut of the Tendy Tandem with 13 points, best among the four pairs of goalies.
Zachary L'Heureux lost a chance to compete for a spot with the Nashville Predators this season because of offseason sports hernia surgery, but it could end up being the best thing for his NHL future. "I was confident going in [to Predators training camp] that my abilities, my strength, if I play at my highest level of hockey that anything could happen," L'Heureux said.
A change of scenery from Nashville to Seattle has seemingly unlocked the potential of Kraken left winger Eeli Tolvanen. Tolvanen has scored eight goals with two assists in 15 games with the Kraken after joining the team off waivers in December. "He's just a good hockey player," head coach Dave Hakstol said.
