Derek Morris - D - Coyotes

Derek Morris received a kneeing penalty in Tuesday's Game 2 loss to Los Angeles, but he won't face supplemental discipline for the infraction.

NHL Director of Player Safety Brendan Shanahan said via his twitter page that the two minute penalty on the play was sufficient punishment. The incident occurred during the third period on Kings defenseman Rob Scuderi. Morris, who has been steady on the blueline for Phoenix with five points and a plus-4 rating in 13 playoff games, will be eligible to play in Game 3 Thursday night.

Shane Doan - W - Coyotes

Shane Doan won't be disciplined by the NHL for his boarding major in Tuesday's Game 2 loss to Los Angeles.

League disciplinarian Brendan Shanahan ruled that Kings forward Trevor Lewis turned right before Doan made contact, which was the same view that the Phoenix captain had after the game. Doan was given a five-minute major for boarding and a game misconduct late in the second period. He has accumulated seven points in 13 playoff games and will be available for Game 3 on Thursday.

Paul Gaustad - C - Predators

Paul Gaustad is eligible for unrestricted free agency this summer.

The Predators gave up a first-round pick for him at the trade deadline, so they'll probably make a pitch to retain his services but he'll likely have to come at a cheaper rate after his previous cap hit was set at $2.3 million. Gaustad is a strong faceoff man, who can chip in some offense and physicality to a team's bottom-six forward group.

Max Pacioretty - W - Canadiens

Max Pacioretty has been excellent at the World Hockey Championships for Team USA.

He racked up two goals and nine assists in seven games during the preliminary round. "I've only played one other time for USA Hockey and that was world juniors, I had a rough tournament," said Pacioretty, who was held without a point in six games in that tournament. "I came here with motivation to prove to people that I can play at the international level." The 23-year-old forward enjoyed a career-year with Montreal in 2011-12 with 33 goals and 65 points in 79 contests.

Ryan Callahan - W - Rangers

Ryan Callahan has been mired in an offensive slump in his past five playoff games.

The Rangers captain has one assist and a minus-1 rating over that span. He has taken 16 shots and has continued to throw his weight around, but can't seem to get on the scoreboard. Callahan will look to break out of his current funk in Game 2 against New Jersey on Wednesday night.

Todd McLellan - C - Sharks

According to multiple reports, Todd McLellan will maintain his position as the head coach of the San Jose Sharks going into next season.

CBC's CBC's Elliotte Friedman reported that McLellan was told three days after the Sharks were eliminated from the playoffs that he would be back in 2012-13 behind the bench. The team is projected to be make changes to their assistant staff though, with former San Jose players Mike Ricci and Bryan Marchment being mentioned as possible replacements.

Dennis Wideman - D - Capitals

Pending unrestricted free agent Dennis Wideman is open to returning to the Washington Capitals next season.

"Obviously, I like it here. I've had a lot of fun here in the last year," he said. "I like where we're going, the core group of guys is really, really good. So why not? I'd love to be back." Wideman had a rough showing in the playoffs, with no goals, three assists and a minus-7 rating in 14 games, but he enjoyed an excellent offensive regular season in 2011-12 while scoring 11 goals and 46 points in 82 contests. He also averaged 23:54 of ice time per game and posted 113 hits, with 132 blocked shots. Wideman could be a sought-after defenseman if he chooses to test the free agent waters.

Jeff Halpern - C - Capitals

Jeff Halpern is slated to become an unrestricted free agent this summer and he isn't sure if he will back with the Washington Capitals in 2012-13.

"I have a good relationship with [General Manager] George [McPhee]," Halpern said. "I'll talk to George, I would expect. And I'm sure that we'll be honest with each other in our year-end meetings and go from there. I was pretty happy up until a couple months ago with how I played. And whatever happens in a summer, you go through it and take it from there." He is hopeful that he'll have options if it doesn't work out. Halpern had a hard time playing after coach Dale Hunter took over and was scratched for 12 of the team's final 15 regular season games. He played in two playoff contests, but that was only after Jay Beagle broke his foot in Game 5 versus the Rangers. With Hunter gone, it could make him more willing to return but of course the Capitals would have to want him back as well.
