The St. Louis Blues could be without one of their best players for an undisclosed period after Pavel Buchnevich was on the receiving end of a massive hit from Seattle Kraken defenseman Jamie Oleksiak on Saturday night. The Russian left the game shortly after with an upper-body injury and did not return. The 28-year-old played […]

The Columbus Blue Jackets skated away with a 5-3 win over the New York Rangers in their last game. A win over a team as skilled as the Rangers inherently comes with a confidence boost. As a result, Columbus expected to carry that newfound confidence into their Monday night showdown with their neighbors to the […]

In their season opener, the New Jersey Devils faced a rather undisciplined Detroit Red Wings team. New Jersey won the game 4-3 while the Red Wings took six penalties. It seems as if the discipline issues rubbed off on the Devils, however, if their last two games are any indication. The Devils played the Arizona […]

The Toronto Maple Leafs entered their clash with the Chicago Blackhawks on Monday riding high. Toronto won their first two games of the season rather emphatically. And they were led by superstar Auston Matthews, who recorded hat tricks in both games. However, they ran into a wall against the Blackhawks. Toronto fell in front of […]

Chicago Blackhawks forward Connor Bedard entered his rookie season with a ton of hype around him. We all saw this coming given how hyped he was heading into the 2023 NHL Draft. However, perhaps the level of hype and coverage for the 18-year-old has reached a level we didn’t expect. Bedard seems to have an […]

Chicago Blackhawks rookie center Connor Bedard is slowly getting the feel of the NHL game. Bedard was obviously a nervous wreck when television cameras captured him forgetting his stick prior to his NHL debut. Fast forward to their game against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Monday, Bedard has shown emotion on the ice. He slammed […]

The Columbus Blue Jackets finished near the bottom of the NHL standings in 2022-23. It was a rather disappointing turn of events given the hype around the team heading into the season. Columbus had a very promising top line led by Johnny Gaudreau and Patrik Laine. And the team had some interesting young players to […]

Fresh off a surprising playoff berth last season the Seattle Kraken are struggling to start the new campaign. Zero wins and one point in three games has put the Kraken on the metaphorical back foot for the season. They suffer an even bigger setback with the news that Brandon Tanev will miss at least four […]

The Minnesota Wild scored six goals in their first two games en route to a 1-1 record. They’ll be without one of their best players for a couple of weeks though as forward Matt Boldy will miss some time with an upper-body injury, according to Michael Russo. Boldy recorded a point in each of the […]

The Minnesota Wild suffered a 7-4 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday, and Alex Goligoski’s unsportsmanlike conduct penalty in the third bothered head coach Dean Evason so much that he specifically called it out after the game. “Momentum was clearly in our direction, and then obviously they get a power play,” Evason said, […]

Pierre-Luc Dubois is a big part of the future of the Los Angeles Kings after the team acquired him last offseason, but he has caught a lot of criticism from fans for requesting for a trade twice in his career in his time with the Columbus Blue Jackets and the Winnipeg Jets. Dubois spoke about […]

Toronto Maple Leafs forward William Nylander has impressed so far this season, putting up three goals and five points in Toronto’s two games, and head coach Sheldon Keefe recently gave him his flowers. “He’s continuing to progress and taking charge,” Sheldon Keefe said, according to Kayla Douglas of theScore. “His confidence is at an all-time […]

What an incredible feeling to be back watching NHL hockey on a daily basis. And what a thrilling first six days of a new season, with multiple noteworthy feats being seen across the league. Arranging the second edition of the NHL Power Rankings was a tricky affair, as some teams have three contests under their […]

Don’t expect to see Montreal Canadiens center Kirby Dach on the ice for several games, with Eric Engels of Sportsnet reporting that Dach suffered an injury that will keep him out long-term. “Kirby Dach has a significant injury. He’s out long-term. Still being diagnosed, more coming in the next few hours or days–according to Habs,” […]

Auston Matthews is a man on a mission for the Toronto Maple Leafs this season.

He’s the fifth player in NHL history to accomplish the feat, and first to do so since Alex Ovechkin put together […]

The Anaheim Ducks didn’t have the greatest start to their 2023-24 NHL season. Anaheim lost to the defending Stanley Cup champion Vegas Golden Knights in their season opener. Heading home for a Sunday night clash with the Carolina Hurricanes, Greg Cronin and the Ducks hoped to turn things around. And they did just that, emphatically […]

The Carolina Hurricanes started off the season with two victories in their first two games. They looked to make it three wins in three games Sunday night against the Anaheim Ducks. However, things did not go their way at all. Consequently, at the end of the night, the Ducks skated away with a convincing 6-3 […]

The Philadelphia Flyers are not expected to contend for a spot in the Stanley Cup Playoffs this season. Many expect general manager Daniel Briere to act as a seller around the NHL trade deadline. However, the Flyers could get into the trade market rather early on. And they could benefit greatly from doing so. Briere […]

The Chicago Blackhawks did not have forward Taylor Hall on the ice during their previous game on Saturday. Chicago fell to the Montreal Canadiens 3-2 during that game, so perhaps he could have made a difference. Thankfully for Chicago, they may not have to wait too much longer to get the former Hart Trophy winner […]

The Detroit Red Wings are hoping to make progress this upcoming season. Progress can come in a number of ways. One way comes through the points a team earns throughout the season. Another deals with individual players raising their performances during any one season. For a team like Detroit, these should go hand in hand. […]

The Toronto Maple Leafs have been one of the NHL’s top regular season teams for the last seven years. While that success has not translated into any postseason success — with the exception of a first-round triumph over the Tampa Bay Lightning last year — there is little doubt that the Maple Leafs have one […]

The Ottawa Senators are on the cusp of competing for a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. After a scintillating run to the ECF in 2017, the Sens haven’t seen postseason competition since. But now with a new owner, a vastly improved young core and a new starting goaltender, the belief around Canada’s capital is […]

The Ottawa Senators are adding a familiar face to the front office, hiring legend Daniel Alfredsson in a coaching and player development role, the team announced. “Great, without a question, to be back in the fire,” Alfredsson said on Friday, according to NHL.com’s Dan Rosen. “I got a taste of it last year just helping […]

Logan Cooley got the first two points of his National Hockey League career out of the way early, registering two assists as the Arizona Coyotes kicked off their 2023-24 campaign with a 4-3 shootout win over the New Jersey Devils on Friday night. Cooley stepped out onto the ice alone for his customary rookie lap […]

The Pittsburgh Penguins skated away with their first victory of the 2023-24 NHL season on Friday night. Pittsburgh went into the nation’s capital and defeated the Washington Capitals 4-0. They controlled the game from the get-go, holding Washington to just 19 shots on goal. It’s a nice bounceback from a brutal collapse against the Chicago […]

The Washington Capitals finally got their season underway Friday night in front of their home fans. They welcomed one of their hated division rivals, the Pittsburgh Penguins, to town for the first time. However, things did not go how the Capitals nor their fans hoped for or envisioned. Washington fell 4-0 in the nation’s capital […]

The Winnipeg Jets faced questions all summer long regarding the futures of forward Mark Scheifele and goalie Connor Hellebuyck. Both entered the 2023-24 season on expiring contracts. And both are coming off strong seasons. Hellebuyck turned in another elite performance in goal, while Schiefele scored a career-high 42 goals. Many expected Winnipeg to explore trades […]

Death, taxes, and Sidney Crosby being a thorn in the side of the Washington Capitals; those three have consistently been a part of life ever since the Pittsburgh Penguins drafted the talented Canadian center with the first overall pick of the 2005 NHL Draft. And on Friday night during the Penguins’ 2023-24 season opener, which […]

The Detroit Red Wings began their 2023-24 NHL season on the road against the New Jersey Devils. The game began in Detroit’s favor. Detroit enjoyed the majority of the scoring chances in the first period and essentially controlled the game. However, the Red Wings could not maintain that level of play, losing 4-3. There were […]

When it comes to the Chicago Blackhawks this season, there appears to be only one story. Actually there may be many stories, but every single one of them has a connection to sensational rookie Connor Bedard. The most important of those stories may be Bedard’s ability to become a breakout star. He certainly has all […]

The Edmonton Oilers had an opening night to forget as the Vancouver Canucks took it to them on Wednesday night for an 8-1 win. The Canucks scored the first four goals of the game, three of them from Brock Boeser. The Oilers finally got on the board in the second period thanks to Leon Draisaitl, […]
