NHL Sunday: Metropolitan showdown in D.C.

Washington may regret this one for a long time.

There’s a long way to go, but these two losses could loom large come May.

Chicago gets a 2014 third-round pick and a 2016 fifth-round pick in the deal, while the Panthers get a young center who has struggled to find his place in Chicago’s system.

Pirri was drafted 59th overall in 2009 by the Blackhawks and has 57 goals in three seasons with the Rockford Icehogs of the American Hockey League. He registered 75 points last season and was expected to crack Chicago’s roster this year.

The hit occurred at 14:20 of the second period. As Sedin chased after a puck behind the net, Methot shoved Sedin off his skates and into the boards. Sedin struggled to get up and hobbled off the ice favoring his left leg.

After getting treated on the bench, Sedin left for the locker room and didn’t reappear for the third period.
