Brooks Bratten: Nashville Predators goaltender Juuse Saros said he heard a ‘pop’ when he injured his ankle back on April 26th. He missed their final two regular-season games and all four playoff games.
“We were on the , and I back post really hard,” Saros explained. “And at the same time, I was kind of trying to seal the short side, and I kind of fell on top of my leg awkwardly. I felt it pop right away, and then two more minutes and made a couple more saves, but every time I went up and down, it just felt really bad. So, that’s when I kind of knew it was going to be a while.”
Saros is back on the ice and it will be a few more weeks until it’s fully healed.
Vince Z. Mercogliano: New York Rangers defenseman Ryan Lindgren returned to the lineup last night.

Dan Kingerski: Coach Sullivan when asked if he thought there was intent by Rangers defenseman Jacob Trouba.
