As the 2024-25 campaign continues to go off the rails for the Philadelphia Flyers, they’ll have to play at least a couple of their last 12 regular-season games without key defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen. “Injury update: Flyers defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen is week-to-week with an upper-body injury,” the team’s official X account wrote on Thursday.

The 25-35-8 record for the Nashville Predators isn’t what the doctor ordered. It’s certainly not what head coach Andrew Brunette expected either.

The duo, along with Filip Forsberg were supposed […]

The Tampa Bay Lightning were another team that didn’t have much salary cap space to make a move at the trade deadline.

The Pittsburgh Penguins were relatively quiet at the NHL trade deadline. Their big move, sending Marcus Pettersson and Drew O’Connor to the Vancouver Canucks for a first-rounder, happened well before March 7. They made some moves around the perimeter but kept their core, namely Erik Karlsson and Rickard Rackell. That should concern Penguins fans, as […]

This has been a remarkable season for the Washington Capitals. At the start of the year, most observers thought the Capitals would battle the Pittsburgh Penguins for a Wild Card spot in the playoffs.

Out of the four true Central Division contenders — the Minnesota Wild, Colorado Avalanche, Dallas Stars and Winnipeg Jets — only one didn’t improve significantly at the 2025 NHL trade deadline.

The Winnipeg Jets weren’t as active at the NHL trade deadline as fans would’ve liked.

General manager Kent Hughes told Daily FaceOff’s […]

The Vegas Golden Knights had little room to be active at the trade deadline.

The Seattle Kraken are well out of the playoff picture as April pulls into view. But fans of the NHL’s newest teams should still be happy about one part of this season.

Tyler Seguin was one of the Dallas Stars’ best players in 2024-25 before suffering an injury that led to hip surgery, managing 20 points in 19 games along with a plus-14 rating. The 33-year-old underwent surgery at the beginning of December to repair a left side femoroacetabular impingement and the hip labrum, and was given […]

The Ottawa Senators made an intriguing trade for Fabian Zetterlund at the 2025 NHL Trade Deadline. Ottawa wanted to bolster its offense for the stretch run after the deadline.
