Hot topic for GMs in March: It seems certain the use of video review for goalie interference is coming, and a call in the Nashville-Dallas game last Thursday has Preds GM David Poile convinced it can’t come soon enough.

Nashville forward Filip Forsberg seemed to have scored a goal in the third with Craig Smith tangled up with Dallas goalie Kari Lehtonen outside the crease on the other side of the net. The officials huddled, and the goal was wiped out. It sure seemed as if there was a decision that something unfair had occurred, but they weren’t sure what. Problem was, replays showed Smith was clearly crosschecked into Lehtonen by Jason Demers.

The GMs are likely to make a decision on this at their March meetings.

This D is well-rested: It was good to see Carlo Colaiacovo get one more chance at the NHL when the Flyers signed him in the fall after a slew of injuries to their blueline.

Turns out, however, it was more to watch than play. Colaiacovo has now been scratched for 25 straight games.

Coming to life: Calder Trophy winner Nathan MacKinnon’s scoring woes have been peculiar this season, and the Avs have shifted him to right wing from centre in an effort to get his production moving.

After scoring just two goals in 22 games, MacKinnon now has two in his last three games, bringing him up to eight on the season.
