Ezekiel Elliott was in the front row for Dallas’ game against St. Louis on Monday night, and the Dallas Cowboys star running back came over to console a young Stars fan hit by a puck. Elliott took a selfie with the fan and showed some of the other people in attendance some love.

John Tortorella has not been sparing in his praise of Artemi Panarin. Panarin has tallied at least a point in every playoff game so far, and Tortorella believes he is one of the three best players in the NHL today. It’s safe to say that Torts is a fan of the trade that sent Panarin to the Blue Jackets.
The @BlueJacketsNHL held on to @9Artemi at the #NHLTradeDeadline, and this #StanleyCup Playoffs run is showing why.
Game 3 at 7:00 ET on @NHLonNBCSports and @Sportsnet

Most fans have never heard of Willie O’Ree, but a recent documentary is shedding light on the NHL’s first black player. O’Ree did not play for a long time and was not a superstar like pioneers in other sports, playing in just 45 games, and this documentary looks to make his contributions more well known.
Willie O'Ree is a hockey legend who overcame much to open doors for others. The new documentary "Willie" is the story of his life, which is a lesson in both hockey and history.
We spoke with O'Ree about the doc, hockey, race and Jackie Robinson. https://t.co/uiFD8Ay0m7
