Morning Skate: Stamkos getting ready for camp

Share

Here are all the links from around the hockey world, and what I’m reading, while captain’s practices are getting underway around the NHL. It feels like it should be about that time for the Bruins too, doesn’t it?

*Here’s a video of Steven Stamkos doing some edge work while getting ready for training camp with the Tampa Bay Lightning and leaving some of the injury issues behind him.

*Former Boston University standout Clayton Keller is poised and ready for a full season with the Arizona Coyotes after getting a taste at the end of last season.

*According to reports out of Washington, Alex Ovechkin is looking leaner and lighter as the Caps superstar looks to finally vanquish some of the playoff demons that have haunted him during his career. Interesting that Jonathan Toews is getting a little lighter in Chicago as well as it appears more and more players are realizing that the pace is getting picked up across the NHL.   

*Old friend Matt Bartkowski has found a home with the Calgary Flames after putting together a pretty decent season with the Vancouver Canucks last year.

*Another veteran player has signed a PTO heading into camp as Tanner Glass will attend Flames camp on a tryout agreement.

*Canucks former first-rounder Brock Boeser is going to get every chance to put the puck in the net for Vancouver this season.

*For something completely different: Evangeline Lilly set fire to the comic book movie geek world on Monday when she tweeted out a picture of herself in the Wasp uniform for the upcoming Ant-Man and the Wasp movie.
