| 5/12/2013 | Jaroslav Halak, G | St. Louis Blues coach Ken Hitchcock said it was no big deal that he and goalie Jaroslav Halak argued about playing time during the playoffs, calling it an "everyday occurrence."

Halak didn't play in the playoffs after recovering from a groin injury late in the season.
