The latest NHL rumors suggest that the Pittsburgh Penguins may be exploring a contract extension for goaltender Tristan Jarry. After a season marked by ups and downs, Jarry's performance will be crucial as the Penguins aim to solidify their position in the Eastern Conference. Team management is reportedly impressed with his skills, particularly his ability to handle pressure situations, which could lead to a significant deal as they look to build a competitive roster for the upcoming season.

Meanwhile, the Toronto Maple Leafs are considering a reunion with forward Michael Bunting. After his departure, Bunting made quite an impact with his offensive contributions and physical play. There's a growing sentiment among fans and analysts that bringing him back could provide depth and energy to the Leafs’ lineup, especially as they prepare for another playoff push.

In other news, the Montreal Canadiens are rumored to be exploring trades to bolster their roster. With a blend of young talent and experienced players, they are aiming to strike a balance that allows them to be competitive in the tough Atlantic Division. The addition of skilled forwards could be on the agenda as they look to improve their standing in the league.

Lastly, the Edmonton Oilers have been keeping an eye on the performance of goaltender Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen from the Buffalo Sabres. With their own goaltending situation in flux, the Oilers might be looking to acquire Luukkonen if he can maintain his impressive form, which could provide them with a solid option moving forward as they vie for a deep playoff run.
