The NHL season may be over, but there are still some big hits being doled out over the offseason… albeit unintentionally.
The New Jersey Devils’ mascot NJ Devil broke a large glass window while faux-running away from kids at a children’s birthday party. The video was shared Sunday night by the Devils.
“You good, @NJDevil00,” the Devils’ Twitter account tweeted.

The Columbus Blue Jackets beat the Boston Bruins 7-4 Tuesday night but had an embarrassing screwup late in the second period that could have cost them the game.
During a faceoff in the defensive zone, the Blue Jackets only put four players out on the ice for a five-on-five even-strength shift.
Two seconds later, they paid for it.
Carl Hagelin is playing another solid game for the Capitals, but that doesn’t mean he hasn’t had Moments.
For instance, during the second period, Hagelin went for a line change.
Except he couldn’t make it over the boards.

The Washington Capitals have recently struggled to hold on to leads in six-on-five, empty-net situations.
That was not a problem on Friday night, when New York’s Josh Bailey beefed it hardcore, scoring an own-goal that will haunt his dreams until his dying day. Probably.

José Mourinho is a legendary soccer coach.
Monday, that legend got a little dinged as the former Manchester United manager fell on his tuchus after dropping the puck before the Avangard Omsk and SKA Saint Petersburg game.
Former Detroit Red Wings forward Pavel Datsyuk and Evgeny Medvedev were at center ice for the ceremony.
Things have been rough for the Blues this season, and Tuesday was another bad night–however, not for the Blues, just for referee Tim Peel.
In the first period of the Blues’ 4-3 win over the Florida Panthers, St. Louis had their first goal of the game disallowed when a Robert Bortuzzo dump-in nailed Peel in his family jewels.
The puck then ricocheted towards the net and dribbled past Panthers’ goaltender Roberto Luongo.

The Washington Capitals and Columbus Blue Jackets need two overtimes to decide Game Three.
Since everyone’s blood pressure is currently through the roof, let me indulge you with two very stupid GIFs.
One night after arguably the best goal of the season was scored by Sidney Crosby, Cam Ward scored maybe the strangest goal of the season. On, um, himself.
Thursday night, Cam Ward summarized the goaltending of the 2017-18 Carolina Hurricanes in a single play.
Late in the third period, Jakub Vrana went on a free skate, but it didn’t end well.
Taking the puck out of the defensive zone, Vrana lost his edge and fell over face first in the neutral zone like he was wearing figure skates.
The Washington Capitals fell behind 2-0 early against the Philadelphia Flyers. Coming out of the All-Star Break, the Metropolitan Division’s first-place team looked out of sorts to start the game. With only five games in 19 days, the unevenness is understandable.
What isn’t understandable is why Matt Niskanen forced his way into the penalty box when he wasn’t actually called for a penalty.
