NHL’s ‘Stanley Pup’ is back June 8 … and the puppies are adoptable
The NHL’s “Stanley Pup” combines playoff hockey energy with a mission to help rescue dogs get adopted. Tune in to watch when it airs on June 8 on truTV and HBO Max.
The Vegas Golden Knights will be without one of their longtime cornerstones for the bulk of Tuesday night’s Game 5 against the Anaheim Ducks.
Defenseman Brayden McNabb was tossed from the May 12 game, 9 minutes into the first period, when he was slapped with a 5-minute major and game misconduct for a hit that left the Ducks’ Ryan Poehling seemingly in a daze.
McNabb, who has been on the Golden Knights since their inaugural 2017-18 season, was called for interference after he slammed Poehling into the boards shortly after the puck had exited his vicinity. Poehling struggled to get up, eventually rolling onto his back as he was attended to by a trainer. He eventually got to his feet and skated off the ice with considerable assistance from defensemen John Carlson and Jacob Trouba.
No word has yet emerged as to Poehling’s status. The Golden Knights will have to play the rest of Game 5 with five defensemen.
Beckett Sennecke scored during the 5-minute power play to give the Ducks a 1-0 lead.
