NHL as of January 17th

Sorry this is late, but the NHL during the past week and two days has been sort of interesting. The Capitals had a 9 game winning streak snapped in an 8-7 loss to the Penguins. In case I forgot to tell you guys, the NHL is not allowing alternate uniforms for the 2017-2018 season because Adidas is taking over reebok as the NHL jersey supplier and to make it easier for them, there will be no third jerseys for a year. I know that sucks. I also just learned that the only good part about the all star skill competition, the break away challenge is done so no more fun at the all star competition now. Read a good article focusing about it here http://sports.yahoo.com/news/nhl-kills-all-star-breakaway-challenge-as-fun-is-dead-055927332.html >:(  Besides that I don't have anything else to report. Notable injuries are below Will the Capitals have another long winning streak? Will the NHL allow alternate uniforms ever again? Will the NHL bring back the breakaway challenge? stay tuned....
