NHL Wraparound Short Shifts - Hiller Out in LA and Statements by Backup Goaltenders Mar. 2, 2026

The second coaching of the season took place on Sunday when Jim Hiller was replaced by DJ Smith - a day after a win.

Also, who made a bigger statement over the weekend: The Buffalo Sabres completing a road sweep out of the break in Tampa or backup goaltenders on Sunday?

Let's not forget the trade deadline is Friday at 3pm et. Is speculation really that much fun?
