Nico Sturm went through a few jersey number ideas. 7-8 were taken, and he opted against his college No. 17 because it belonged to Tyson Jost, the player he was traded for.
His younger brother came up with 78. It’s the year his hometown team was founded, so its a nice tribute.

Andre Burakovsky said he wants to play more with added responsibility in Seattle.
“When I was in Washington, I was kind of behind Ovi, Backstrom, Oshie, (Kuznetsov) and all those guys. When I came to Colorado, I was kind of in the shadow of MacKinnon, Landeskog and Rantanen.

Vince Dunn will not play tonight in Winnipeg, Dave Hakstol says. He’ll go home with the team for further evaluation. He left the game following this hit from Calgary’s Martin Pospisil.
Just outright dangerous and should lead to a suspension. Even worse, it’s not his first bad hit of the game.
