WATCH ZACH WERENSKI RECORD GORDIE HOWE HAT TRICK IN GAME 2 AGAINST LIGHTNING

Zach Werenski recorded a Gordie Howe hat trick, the first in Blue Jacket playoff history.



A Gordie Howe hat trick, friends, is when a player scores a goal, records an assist and gets in a fight in the same game. It's something you tell your grandkids about, and rightfully so.

GOAL



ASSIST



FIGHT

Lightning's Kucherov suspended for Game 3

Tampa Bay Lightning winger Nikita Kucherov has been suspended one game after boarding Columbus Blue Jackets defenseman Markus Nutivaara on Friday night during Game 2 of the teams' first-round series.

Game 3 is Sunday in Columbus.

Kucherov, who led the league in scoring with 128 points (41 goals, 87 assists), is the favorite for the Hart Trophy, given to the league's MVP.

The Lightning matched the NHL's record for regular-season wins (62) but have been one of the biggest disappointments early in the playoffs, losing their first two games to the Blue Jackets, who snuck in with the Eastern Conference's final wild-card spot.

Kucherov had a phone hearing with the Department of Player Safety on Saturday morning and was not a part of the Lightning's line rushes during practice in preparation for a potential suspension.

Kucherov was given a five-minute major and a game misconduct for the hit on Nutivaara, which occurred at 15:34 of the third period. The DOPS determined that on the play, Kucherov skated toward the "defenseless Nutivaara, lowered himself for contact, and drives him into the boards," according to a video explanation released on Saturday.

The DOPS determined that the hit wasn't "excessively violent or forceful," but there were "several factors to elevate the play for supplemental discipline." Among them: Kucherov was in control of the play at all times. Kucherov was the one to initially trip Nutivaara to the ice, and while Nutivaara attempted to regain his footing, he remained in a defenseless position until Kucherov drove him into the boards.

"Kucherov takes advantage of this situation to deliver a dangerous hit to a player in an exposed and defenseless position," the video stated.

The DOPS determined this play fell into the category of "message sending."

Blue Jackets sign Vladislav Gavrikov

The Columbus Blue Jackets have signed defenseman Vladislav Gavrikov to a two-year entry level contract through the 2019-20 National Hockey League season, club General Manager Jarmo Kekalainen announced today.

Gavrikov, 23, was selected by the Blue Jackets in the sixth round, 159th overall, at the 2015 NHL Draft. The 6-3, 205-pound blueliner has spent six seasons in Russia's Kontinental Hockey League, registering 16 goals and 33 assists for 49 points with 96 penalty minutes and a cumulative +97 plus/minus rating in 222 career games with Lokomotiv Yaroslavl and SKA St. Petersburg. He has added 4-8-12, 18 penalty minutes and is +13 in 57 career playoff games. This season, he tallied a career-high 5-15-20, 10 penalty minutes and led the KHL in plus/minus rating at +48 in 60 games with SKA St. Petersburg.

Vladislav is an outstanding defenseman who excels at both ends of the ice," said Kekalainen. "He is big, strong and mobile and has enjoyed a successful career in the KHL and in international competition, including winning an Olympic gold medal last year. We are very excited about his future with the Columbus Blue Jackets.

This is a smart signing. It also tells me either McQuaid or Murray (one of the two) won’t be back this postseason. Those are great numbers for a defenseman.
