Michael Russo via twitter: Wild winger Devin Setoguchi won’t be suspended but he will have a hearing to see how much he’ll be fined, if at all.

James Mirtle via twitter: If Maple Leafs Jake Gardiner plays three more NHL games, he’ll be eligible for waivers. Basically, once he’s back, he’s back for good. This last stretch of Marlies will be his last.
