Ryan McDonagh wants to see his team be a bit more patient in the Boston Bruins' zone.
"You see them, they're pretty good at waiting for help, waiting for guys to come into the zone," McDonagh said, "and I think we can use that, too, wait for second or third guys to come into the zone, and look for guys as opposed to throwing it to an area and try to skate onto it." The Rangers are down 3-0 in their second-round series and have only scored five goals in that span.

Alain Vigneault hopes to find a new coaching gig in the NHL.
Vigneault was fired by the Vancouver Canucks on Wednesday. "I am a career coach and it is what I love to do," Vigneault said. He has a 422-288-35-61 record as a coach and will probably enter the 2013-14 campaign as another team's bench boss. The Dallas Stars and Colorado Avalanche are two possibilities, but other options might present themselves.

Canucks GM Mike Gillis has fired Alain Vigneault "after a thorough review."
Gillis cited the Canucks' lack of playoff success as the primary reason they decided to make a change. Vancouver has been great in the regular season, but endured fast exits from the 2012 and 2013 playoffs. He didn't want to give any hints as to who the next head coach might be, but he did say that the problems went beyond their now former coach. "Everyone will be addressed," Gillis said. This might be an eventful summer for Vancouver.

Beau Bennett will play in Game 4 on Wednesday.
Bennett has been a healthy scratch since May 5. He is projected to start the game on Pittsburgh's fourth line.

Jussi Jokinen has been inserted into the Penguins' lineup.
Jokinen is capable of being an offensive force, but he's projected to start the game on Pittsburgh's fourth line. He has two assists in four postseason contests.
