Dan’s Daily Links: Domi Decides to Play vs. Pens, Malkin in Form

Montreal Canadiens center Max Domi delayed his decision to join the team until he felt it was safe or there was enough information to make a more informed decision. The Pittsburgh Penguins are rounding into form and were able to hold themselves to only a few goals, while Patric Hornqvist and the quarantined nine have been cleared.

The Penguins have cleared Patric Hornqvist and the other eight players including Sam Poulin and P-O Joseph to return to team activities. The nine players were voluntarily isolated due to secondary exposure.

It’s too bad Malkin cooled after Crosby returned. He had an extraordinary season and I find myself rooting for him to get one more moment of recognition. His wife’s candid interview a couple of months ago raised my appreciation of Malkin even more.

Did you know Hedberg thought Penguins fans were booing him until he realized the chant was Moose? Hedberg also defended Martin Jones. Read on (San Jose Hockey Now)
