Off the trail...

- After losing Game 1, the Golden Knights turned around and evened up their series against the Stars with a win in Game 2. [Defending Big D]

- The dates have been set for the draft. You might want to mark October 6 and 7 on your calendars. [TSN]

- Despite the impressive play of Thatcher Demko, the Canucks still seem to want Jacob Markstrom back in Vancouver. [TSN]
