The Detroit Red Wings will retire Red Kelly's No. 4 prior to Friday night's game against the Toronto Maple Leafs.

"Amazing, isn't it?" the 91-year-old said. "I fought against having it, but it seemed to work out well in the end. Very well."

The Red Wings are the second team to ensure no one ever wears Kelly's No. 4. The Maple Leafs retired that number on Oct. 13, 2016.

"It's nice that they are doing this on a night both those teams are playing against each other," Kelly said. "All for a number I was reluctant to get."

Tuukka Rask could return to the Boston Bruins on Thursday night against the Philadelphia Flyers.

The goalie practiced Wednesday for the first time since sustaining a concussion in a collision with New York Rangers forward Filip Chytil on Jan. 19.

"Yeah, I feel good today," Rask said. "So we'll see what tomorrow brings and go from there."

Rask's next win will be the 253rd of his NHL career and give him sole possession of first place on the Bruins all-time list, breaking a tie with Tiny Thompson.

Austin Watson has been suspended indefinitely and admitted into Stage 2 of the NHL's substance abuse and behavioral health program.

The suspension is "related exclusively to his ongoing issues with alcohol abuse," the NHL and NHLPA announced in a joint statement.

Watson had been suspended for the preseason and the first 18 games of the regular season after pleading no contest to domestic abuse this summer.

He had seven goals and six assists in 34 games for the Nashville Predators this season.

The Pittsburgh Penguins have traded defenseman Jamie Oleksiak back to the Dallas Stars.

The Penguins will receive a fourth-round pick in 2019.

The Stars had traded Oleksiak to the Penguins last season, also for a fourth-round pick.

The Toronto Maple Leafs have acquired defenseman Jake Muzzin from the Los Angeles Kings in exchange for a first-round pick and two prospects.

The Kings get forward Carl Grundstrom and the rights to unsigned defenseman Sean Durzi in the deal.

Muzzin is signed through next season at a salary cap hit of $4 million.

The Carolina Hurricanes have agreed to terms on a two-year, $4 million contract extension with forward Jordan Martinook.

The extension will kick in for the 2019-20 season.

Martinook, 26, has 10 goals and three assists in 50 games while leading the team with 125 hits and blocking 28 shots -- the most by a Carolina forward.

Artemi Panarin has no plans to discuss a possible contract extension with the Columbus Blue Jackets during the season.

On Monday, Panarin's agent Daniel Milstein put out a statement: "We have informed the team that we are willing to discuss Artemi's future after the season. Our priority now is to focus on the rest of the season, trying to win a Stanley Cup for the CBJ & their fans. No additional comments will be made."

Panarin is in the final year of a two-year contract, earning $6 million this season.

Henrik Lundqvist knows the New York Rangers will engage in roster turnover as they continue to rebuild, but doesn't want to see Mats Zuccarello among those dealt.

The NHL trade deadline is Feb. 25.

"You don't really want to go there mentally to think about [Zuccarello] being gone," Lundqvist said. "I think, first of all, he's a close friend now. He's been such a big part of this team for so many years. I appreciate him as a player, as a person and as a teammate."

Zuccarello has played his entire NHL career with the Rangers.

"But at the same time, we all understand how this world works," Lundqvist added. "It's a business, and [there's] a lot of planning going into trading with teams. We're in a unique position right now, so we'll see what happens, but obviously I hope he'll stick around for many reasons."

The NHL has announced that the Nashville Predators and Dallas Stars will play in the 2020 Winter Classic.

The game will be held at the Cotton Bowl.

The Winter Classic is entering its 12th year. It will mark the first appearance for both franchises.

Gary Bettman also announced that the Los Angeles Kings will play the Colorado Avalanche at the 2020 Stadium Series on Feb. 15, which will be held at U.S. Air Force Academy's Falcon Stadium in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Sidney Crosby had two goals and three assists, and Henrik Lundqvist pitched a first-half shutout to lead the Metropolitan Division to a 10-5 victory over the Central Division in the championship round of the NHL All-Star Game Saturday night.

Selected the MVP, Crosby finished the night with four goals and four assists in two games on the same ice where he won the Conn Smythe Trophy and Stanley Cup three years ago for Pittsburgh.
