Good morning, it’s Monday again! Let’s take a look at the news that happened around the league over the weekend.
- On Friday night, the Calgary Flames took the Matthew Tkachuk trade to the next level by surprising many with an 8 year, $84M contract extension.
- This weekend, Canada took home gold with a 4-1 victory over Sweden at the Hlinka Gretzky Cup in Red Deer. Through the round robin, Canada was a perfect 3-0 while Sweden was right behind them in second in Group A. It’s unsurprising to see Canada on top at this years tournament when you see that a Canadian led the tournament in points, goals and assists while both Canadian netminders ranked top three in both GAA and SV% throughout.
