Flames coach Bill Peters acknowledged in a letter of apology on Wednesday that he used offensive language in dealing with a Nigerian-born player 10 years ago in the minors.
GM Brad Treliving confirmed receipt of the letter, which was first posted on Twitter by TSN, a Canadian sports cable network, during the third period of Calgary's 3-2 overtime victory at Buffalo. Treliving would only say the Flames are reviewing the letter as part of their continuing investigation into Peters, and that the GM could have an update as early as Thursday.

Patrick Kane scored his 12th goal of the season in the Blackhawks' 3-0 win over the Stars on Tuesday, extending his point streak to 13 games.
"It seems like he always finds a way to score a big goal in a big game," Blackhawks goaltender Corey Crawford said. "He's obviously one of the best players in the league and can change a game at any time. It's nice that he's on our team."
Kane has nine goals and 13 assists in this span, and he kept the league's longest active streak alive with a power-play wrist shot.

The Lightning have acquired defenseman Devante Stephens from the Sabres in exchange for defenseman Matthew Spencer, vice president and general manager Julien BriseBois announced today.

New Maple Leafs coach Sheldon Keefe spent a decent chunk of a 30-minute morning skate Thursday teaching instead of running drills.
The 39-year-old Keefe is now in charge of the Maple Leafs after veteran coach Mike Babcock was fired Wednesday with the team mired in a six-game losing streak. That streak was snapped Thursday, with the Leafs posting a 3-1 win over the Coyotes in Keefe's debut.
Hours earlier, Keefe was officially introduced as the 31st head coach in the franchise's history. He has a long history with general manager Kyle Dubas, who hopes Keefe is the right choice to help Toronto bounce back from a disappointing 9-10-4 start.
"We've got a lot of talent and the ability to make life hard on the other team in a lot of ways," he said. "Focusing on that, we believe, will produce positive results. Because the players are good enough for that to happen."
