The Montreal Canadiens announced a three-year contract extension Tuesday with head coach Dominique Ducharme, who had been the interim coach since taking over in late February after Claude Julien was fired.

Ducharme took the Canadiens all the way to the Stanley Cup Final, where they lost to the defending champion Tampa Bay Lightning 4 games to 1.

 

Predators' Rinne To Retire

Nashville Predators goalie Pekka Rinne announced Tuesday that he’s retiring after 15 seasons, all of them with Nashville.

The 38-year-old Rinne, who’s a native of Finland, won the NHL’s Vezina Trophy in 2018 as best goaltender. He also had three 40-win seasons, tied for second most in NHL history, and is one of just seven goalies to reach that mark.
