Meet the beagle repping Tampa Bay in the "Stanley Pup"
State of play: The "Stanley Pup," a friendly competition featuring adoptable rescue dogs, is returning for the second year.
The show will premiere at 5:30pm ET June 6 on TruTV.
Zoom in: Donning a Bolts jersey will be Brayden Pointer, a 9-week-old beagle mix who can smell a treat from 3.8 miles away.
His name, of course, is a nod to Bolts center Brayden Point.
How it works: During the 90-minute television special, the pups will play a canine version of hockey on synthetic ice.
Dog-loving celebrities Jamie Lee Curtis, Nikki Glaser, Paula Abdul and Michael Bublé will appear, representing a shelter of their choice.
What they're saying:"There's no need to purchase a puppy when you can open up your heart and home to give a wonderful life to a puppy that needs one," executive producer Michael Levitt tells Axios.

Alex Ovechkin partners with a Russian technology company to make a movie about his career
Alex Ovechkin has partnered with a Russian technology company to produce a movie, series or documentary about his NHL career. Yandex and its streaming platform, Kinopoisk, announced the agreement Tuesday. Ovechkin this past spring broke Wayne Gretzky's career goals record and has scored 897 going into the final season of his contract with the Washington Capitals. Ovechkin, who turns 40 next month, has along with his representatives granted the rights to adapt his career to Yandex's production label, Plus Studio. The Moscow native who began his professional career in the Russian league, now the KHL, is expected to take part in commercials and serve as a Yandex ambassador as part of the deal. Ovechkin has played his entire career with Washington since the Capitals drafted him with the first pick in 2004 and he debuted in 2005. He has been the face of the franchise since, served as their captain since January 2010 and was playoff MVP in 2018 when he led them to their first Stanley Cup championship.
