What do you need to know about last nightss big stories? Joe McDonald gives us his take on the biggest and best. This is where we say Morning, Joe.Penguins doing it large: Captain Sidney Crosby continued his offensive prowess with a goal to help the Pittsburgh Penguins to a 7-0 win over the Arizona Coyotes on Monday. He leads the league with 21 goals and extended his points streak to seven games with 13 points during that span. The real reason the Penguins find themselves atop the Metropolitan Division is their depth, and that was on display against the Coyotes, as seven different players scored for Pittsburgh. It also helps that goalie Matt Murray is 11-2-0 with a 1.84 goals-against average and a .936 save percentage. Another big reason for the Penguins success? Coaching. Monday was the one-year anniversary of Mike Sullivan being hired as coach of the Penguins. The team is 52-23-8 and won the 2016 Stanley Cup under his tenure.Chalk one up for Rask: The Boston Bruins 2-1 overtime victory over the Montreal Canadiens meant much more than two points. The win should serve as a major confidence boost for Bruins goalie Tuukka Rask, who entered Mondays game with a terrible 5-15-3 record against the Canadiens. Actually, I was a bit surprised to see that he was starting, given his struggles against his teams historical rival. Rask responded with a 30-save performance to stop a three-game skid. Hes already a Vezina Trophy candidate this season with a 15-5-2 record, including a 1.80 goals-against average, a .932 save percentage and three shutouts. Currently, the Bruins are in the playoffs and Rask is the reason for the teams success. If the Bruins earn a playoff berth and face the Canadiens, Mondays win will serve as an important mental victory for Rask.Big backup battle: A battle between two of the top teams in the NHL heats up Tuesday when the New York Rangers host the Chicago Blackhawks. The Rangers are riding hot goalie Antti Raanta, who is 8-1-0 with a 1.65 goals-against average, a .943 save percentage and two shutouts. He has not allowed more than two goals in 10 of his 11 games. You know fellow Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist isnt happy to be relegated to the backup role, but hes handling it the right way for the betterment of the team. At some point, New York will need Lundqvist to be Lundqvist, and eventually he will find his groove. At the other end of the ice, the Blackhawks are without their top goalie Corey Crawford (appendectomy), but Scott Darling has been outstanding as the No. 1, going 2-2-1 while replacing Crawford.Custom Reds T-shirts .

Custom Reds Jerseys ., for the next three years with the signings on Monday of Daryl Townsend and Michael Carter. http://www.customredsjersey.com/ .

Custom Reds Jersey China .com) - The Chicago Blackhawks aim for their third three-game winning streak of the season when they host the struggling Edmonton Oilers in Sundays battle at the United Center.

Jonathan Drouin also scored and had three assists while Zachary Fucale made 17 saves for the Mooseheads (16-8-0), who led 6-1 after two periods. LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- Chicago Bears wide receiver Brandon Marshall returned to practice Tuesday for the first time since undergoing January hip surgery, saying he expects to be 100 per cent for the start of training camp. Marshall had his third hip surgery in four years, an arthroscopic procedure, following a season in which he set franchise records for catches (118) and receiving yards (1,508). "Its been affecting me for two years," Marshall said. "It was one of those things where I thought maybe it was just some training or some strength problems or some flexibility problems. But when we went in there they saw a little something and cleaned it up. It was one of those things where after a lot of pounding it tightened up on me, got a little weak. So now Im just thankful that we caught it in time and cleaned it out." Marshall did not go through a full practice but did individual drills and some non-contact scrimmage work in the final week of Bears organized team activities. He will gradually work his way back and will likely not go all out next week when the Bears have a mandatory full-squad minicamp. "Hes got full medical clearance," general manager Phil Emery said. "Obviously he was catching the ball well, he looked good with his feet and his routes. And as we build toward veteran minicamp next week it will be exciting to see him get more reps as he goes." Marshall said his hips will have to be monitored after he leaves the game because of the amount of wear and tear hes taken. "Its one of those things where probably when Im done (playing) its going to be one of those things where Im going to have to stay on it," Marshall said of his long-term health. "But its a scope. Im excited thats all it is. I have to be smart, continue just to rehab throughout the season and throughout the rest of my career.dddddddddddd But Im just thankful that we caught it and its in a place where its a non-weight-bearing part of the bone. Thats good." The eight-year veteran admitted he may not have been healthy all last year when he caught 11 touchdown passes and was reunited with quarterback Jay Cutler, who threw to him his first three seasons with Denver. "Im excited to see what I can do fully healthy and also there are some little things that Ive been watching on film of myself," he said. "Every year you get smarter, you get better, and I think being healthy and a little bit smarter this year, its going to be a productive year for me helping the offence out." Marshall has been able to participate in the installation of the teams offence under new coach Marc Trestman and finds it to his liking even if the old attack resulted in prodigious numbers last year. "Im ecstatic," he said. "Ive never been around better coaches. (Former Bears coach) Lovie (Smith): amazing coach, amazing man. Coach (Mike) Shanahan: amazing coach, one of the gurus of the game. (Former QB coach) Josh McDaniels, one of the gurus on offence. But what we have here in (offensive co-ordinator Aaron) Kromer and coach Trestman, their leadership on offence is amazing. Ive never been around it." Marshall had 1,133 yards and 74 more catches than the next Bear, and this year its likely hell have to give up some of the catches and yards in what is expected to be a more balanced attack. "I may have the same amount of targets, I may not," he said. "Id be lying if I said I dont want to be productive, that I dont want to be up there with the best. But at the end of the day if we dont win none of us will be here. The only thing Im excited about is playing my part." ' ' '
