Termine » coupled with his career-low scoring rate

Dylan Strome is living his NHL dream playing for the Arizona Coyotes, staying in a hotel and avoiding the harsh Pennsylvania winter he endured the past three years playing for the Ontario Hockey Leagues Erie Otters.He just doesnt know how long it will last.Strome was the No. 3 overall pick in 2015 and he is in hockeys version of purgatory: At 19, he is eligible to be sent back to the juniors without burning a year of his contract as long as he doesnt play 10 games.In the NFL and NBA, when youre drafted, youre in, and Major League Baseball prospects almost always start in the minors.NHL teams, however, get the chance to test-run some of their top young prospects before committing to them for a full season.No one feels bad for you, Strome said. Its not really up to me. Obviously I want to be in the NHL.In the same uncertain spot are Coyotes teammates Jakob Chychrun and Lawson Crouse and others around the league, from the New York Islanders Anthony Beauvillier and Mathew Barzal to the Calgary Flames Matthew Tkachuk. Despite making their teams opening-night roster, the players face a nerve-racking nine-game tryout -- and decision time is near for many of them.Its normal to have that kind of tryout because you never know what can happen, said Beauvillier, whose contract will count for this year if he plays his 10th game Thursday. I dont control that. I just control what I do on the ice.The NHLs transfer agreement with the Canadian Hockey League prevents major-junior players under 20 from going to the American Hockey League for some professional seasoning. So even though Strome had 111 points, Tkachuk 107 points and the Toronto Maple Leafs Mitch Marner 116 points in juniors last season, they must remain in the NHL or go back to juniors instead of spending time in the minors.Once considered a top player in the 2016 draft class, Chychrun slipped to 16th and pondered the rule often during camp. But he has played well enough to get into seven games and give himself peace of mind.Now that Ive gotten a taste of the level here and just seen that I can play here, I think Im just trying to really just act like a pro, Chychrun said. You cant play when youre stressed. Youve just got to act like youre sticking here, and if you do that youll have a better chance of showing them why.Easier said than done for Barzal and Strome, who have been out of the lineup more than in it. Coach Jack Capuano implied that a roster crunch could prevent the Islanders from keeping Beauvillier and Barzal all season, but Arizona could let Strome and Crouse practice, learn and wait rather than making them essentially repeat a grade level they already aced.The Coyotes sent Max Domi back to juniors two years ago and watched him dominate and blossom as a result, so coach Dave Tippett understands the nine-game barrier but doesnt dwell on it.Were more in tune of making sure that were doing everything we can to make it so they can play here so the nine games doesnt matter, Tippett said. We have to give them every opportunity, whether through extra coaching, extra workouts, critiquing their play -- everything you do to try to make sure it gives them the best chance to be successful.The Philadelphia Flyers approach was to take the nine games out of the equation entirely with 19-year-old defenseman Ivan Provorov and forward Travis Konecny, telling the 2015 first-round picks before opening night that theyd be around for the entire season. General manager Ron Hextall told them pointedly, This is not a nine-game tryout, so neither had to worry about that.It definitely gives me a little confidence, it allows me to play my game and be comfortable, said Konecny, who has a goal and six assists in 10 games and is in the NHL to stay. He wasnt going to bed every night stressed out (about whether) Im going to get that phone call.That phone call came Monday for 2016 No. 9 pick Mikhail Sergachev as the Montreal Canadiens sent him back to the OHLs Windsor Spitfires after just three NHL games. Along with Provorov and Konecny, Marner and Pavel Zacha of the New Jersey Devils are up for good and Chychrun is all but assured to stick.Meanwhile, Barzal, Strome, Crouse, Tkachuk and Thomas Chabot of the Ottawa Senators must wait.You just kind of have to put in the back of your mind, Crouse said. Its going to be there, but you kind of just have to store it in a spot where youre not thinking about it day in and day out and just really go out there and show them that you deserve to be in this league.---This story has been corrected to show 10th game for Beauvillier is Thursday, not Tuesday.

Goals from Jerome Boateng, Franck Ribery and Thomas Mueller extended Bayerns unbeaten run to a record 37 matches. "This record is incredible," Bayern coach Pep Guardiola said.The Montreal Canadiens landed a veteran scoring forward with playoff experience, who had been bought out of his previous contract. Numbers Game looks at the Canadiens acquisition of Danny Briere. The Canadiens Get: RW Danny Briere. Briere, 35, has been a very productive player, scoring at least 24 goals in eight of his 13-plus NHL seasons, but hes coming off a season in which he had 16 points and was minus-13, with subpar possession numbers, in 34 games, prompting the Flyers to buy out the final two years of his contract. Wrist and concussion injuries cost Briere 14 games last season and he missed a dozen the year before for a variety of reasons, including another concussion, so there are naturally health concerns for a smaller forward who is in his mid-30s. He also played 16:04 per game last season, his lowest time on ice per game since 2001-2002 so, coupled with his career-low scoring rate (0.47 ppg), there is ample evidence that Briere is on the decline. What the Canadiens can hope for is that Briere can have his minutes focused on the offensive end and remain a productive power play contributtor -- he scored 102 of his 283 over six seasons in Philadelphia with the man advantage -- so that he is a viable source of secondary scoring.dddddddddddd Briere has also been a sensational playoff performer, tallying 109 points in 108 career playoff games, ranking sixth among active skaters in playoff points per game (and the top five arent available). Signed to a two-year deal for $8-million, Briere will play in a scoring role for the Canadiens, but expectations have to be kept in check. Once a player starts to decline in his mid-30s, its rare that they recapture previous form, so either the Canadiens will have to hope Briere is an exception, perhaps able to bounce back with a full NHL training camp and season (as opposed to the lockhout-shortened variety) or they are prepared for him to effectively be a specialist, providing secondary offence and just waiting for the playoffs to make a real difference over the next two years.
