It turns out Tim Thomas meant what he said about taking a year off. The former Boston Bruins goaltender could be on his way back to the NHL next season, after his agent - Bill Zito - tweeted "Tim Thomas has asked me to explore possible options for next season." Thomas took a year-long break from his NHL career over the 2012-13 season after a tumultuous 2011-12 in Boston. The 39-year-old was a media favourite during his last NHL campaign, often finding the spotlight for expressing his personal political beliefs on Facebook. He stated his intention to take a year-long break from hockey mid-way through the 2011-12 season and confirmed his intention to take a year off in June of 2012. The Bruins would suspend Thomas for not reporting to training camp in 2013 and would later trade his rights were traded in the middle of the 2012-13 season to the New York Islanders for a conditional draft pick. Because Thomas was over 35, the final year of his contract still counted towards the Bruins salary cap, leaving Boston on the hook for the $5 million cap hit he would have carried in 2012-13. He is slated to become an unrestricted free agent on July 5. Thomas was originally selected in the ninth round (217th overall) of the NHL Entry Draft by the Quebec Nordiques. He has appeared in 378 career games, all with the Bruins. He has a 196-121-45-31 career record with a .921 save percentage and a 2.48 goals against average. A four-time NHL All-Star, Thomas won the Vezina Trophy in 2009 and 2011. He backstopped the Bruins to the 2011 Stanley Cup, winning the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP.

Montreal hopes to get back on track on home ice, where the Canadiens will play two straight and six of their next seven games. The Habs own a perfect 4-0 mark at the Bell Centre this season. The Canadiens did well to earn a point from Thursdays tilt in B.C. Vancouver led 2-0 after Brad Richardson tallied early in the third period, but Alex Galchenyuk and Max Pacioretty both scored in the final 10 minutes of regulation to send the game to OT.

Johnny Gaudreau scored the deciding goal for the Flames, who used three third- period tallies to fuel a 4-3 comeback victory over the Predators.dddddddddddd Calgary trailed 2-1 after 40 minutes, but Jiri Hudler, T.J. Brodie and Gaudreau all scored in the first seven minutes of the third period to give the Flames control of the game. Hudler tied the game at 2:36 of the third period and Brodie put the Flames in front with a power-play tally less than two minutes later. Gaudreau made it 4-2 Calgary at the 6:37 mark, notching the eventual game-winner before Nashvilles James Neal made it a one-goal game with 9:13 remaining. Tonight was a great job by our guys. Its about momentum, Flames head coach Bob Hartley said. Whenever you can control the puck, that is the best defense. You make plays, youre creative. We encourage everyone on the team to play like this. Sean Monahan and Gaudreau each tallied a goal and an assist for the Flames, while Jonas Hiller made 28 saves for the victory. Hiller stopped 13-of-14 shots in the all-important third period. After becoming the first Flames netminder to start consecutive games in 2014-15 on Friday, Hiller could get the start over Karri Ramo again tonight. Hiller is 2-1-3 with a 2.37 GAA in six career outings against the Canadiens, while Ramo is 1-1-1 with a 3.75 GAA versus Montreal. The Flames recalled Sve Baertschi before the game on Sunday.
