David Quinn will lead the team at the upcoming 2023 IIHF Men's World Championship
The United States men's hockey team has announced that David Quinn, the current head coach of the San Jose Sharks, will, once again, lead the team at the upcoming 2023 IIHF Men's World Championship. This news comes after Quinn previously coached the team at last year's tournament, where they finished in fourth place.

Quinn's appointment brings a wealth of experience to the team, particularly when it comes to international events. In 2019, he served as an assistant coach for Team USA at the IIHF World Championship, and he was also the head coach of the U.S. National Junior Team at the IIHF World Junior Championship that same year.
Jonathan Quick breaks NHL record
In Tuesday night's game against the Vancouver Canucks, Jonathan Quick of the Vegas Golden Knights made history by securing his 375th NHL-career win. He surpassed John Vanbiesbrouck and moved to second place on the all-time wins list among American-born goaltenders.
Quick's record-breaking victory was aided by the Golden Knights' strong start, as they scored first for the ninth time this month. He improved their record to 9-0-0 after taking a 1-0 lead in March. Vegas went on to take a 2-0 lead into the first intermission, and then grabbed a 3-1 lead midway through the second period.
Although Vancouver's J.T. Miller scored twice and the Canucks added another goal in the third period, Quick and the Golden Knights held their lead and finished with a 4-3 victory.
A heartfelt gesture to welcome back David Perron
The St. Louis Blues made a heartfelt gesture to welcome back one of their former players, David Perron, during his recent return to the Enterprise Center. The 2019 Stanley Cup champion received a warm reception from the home crowd.
Perron played a key role in the Blues' Stanley Cup championship run in 2019, scoring 16 points in 26 NHL playoff games. He spent six seasons with the team across two separate stints.
The video tribute highlighted some of Perron's most memorable moments in a Blues uniform, including his clutch playoff goals.
Colorado Avalanche defenseman Cale Makar placed on day-to-day
The Colorado Avalanche will likely be without star defenseman Cale Makar for the next few games due to a lower-body injury. Makar is out of the lineup as his status remains day-to-day.
Makar has been plagued by injuries throughout the season. He has missed time with both upper-body and lower-body issues. However, he has still managed to put up impressive numbers, registering 61 points in just 55 games. In 2019-20, he tallied 86 points and won the Calder Trophy as the NHL's Rookie of the Year.
