His contract with the Blues includes performance bonuses, according to TVA. - - NHL legend Gordie Howe suffered another major stroke on Monday and is in intensive care, his son, Mark, told the Detroit Free Press. The 86-year-old Howe had a series of mini-strokes starting in the summer and a more severe stroke on Oct. 26, but he had since regained some movement on his right side before the latest setback. - - The NHL fined the Los Angeles Kings $100,000 for violating the terms of defenseman Slava Voynov's suspension.
