The quest to secure a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference just got exponentially harder for the New York Rangers, as they’ll have to make due without two of the most important players on the roster in Adam Fox and Igor Shesterkin for the foreseeable future.

The Winnipeg Jets are in the midst of an abysmal 10-game losing streak after falling 4-3 to the Vegas Golden Knights on home ice on Tuesday — but they’re dealing with something bigger than hockey after a scary injury to defenseman Haydn Fleury.

The Washington Capitals have been in the middle of a major slump in play. They have lost nine of their last 13 games overall, but did secure a win on Monday against the Anaheim Ducks, 7-4.

The Toronto Maple Leafs have begun to turn things around after a brutal stretch at the beginning of December, picking up a point in each of their last seven games — and winning five of them.

In the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs, the Florida Panthers eliminated the Toronto Maple Leafs in the second round.

The Philadelphia Flyers traded for Trevor Zegras in a deal with the Anaheim Ducks over the summer. The trade represented a fresh start for Zegras after some injury-riddled campaigns in Orange County.

The New York Islanders smoked the New Jersey Devils 9-0 on Tuesday. That is tied for the largest win in franchise history and the most goals they have scored in a game in over a decade. On top of it all, Islanders goalie Ilya Sorokin set a franchise record on Tuesday with his 24th career […]

One of the most surprising omissions from Team Canada’s Olympics roster was Florida Panthers forward Sam Bennett. Bennett played a key role in last year’s 4 Nations Face-Off victory, won back-to-back Stanley Cups with the Florida Panthers, and was last season’s Conn Smythe Trophy winner. It’s hard to find a forward more worthy of a […]

There was no shortage of storylines heading into the Carolina Hurricanes and Dallas Stars matchup on Tuesday night.

The Philadelphia Flyers are surprisingly in win-now mode in Rick Tocchet’s first year as head coach. The expectation was that it’d still be another year of rebuilding before they really competed. However, after the successful acquisition of Trevor Zegras in the offseason, the Flyers are already knocking on the door. While the Flyers aren’t in […]

The New York Rangers are having another disastrous season, sitting last in the Eastern Conference by points percentage.

TSN’s Chris Johnston has […]

The 2026 Olympics will feature NHL players for the first time since 2014, and Team USA is looking for the Gold Medal.

Justin Sourdif is quickly becoming a fan favorite for the Washington Capitals. It took a while for the former third-round pick of the Florida Panthers to find a place in the NHL, but now that he has, it doesn’t look like he plans to give it up. While Alex Ovechkin is still stealing headlines with […]

The Utah Mammoth knew that it was time for a fresh start for one of their struggling defensemen. Juuso Valimaki was a former first-round pick in 2016 by the Calgary Flames, but his NHL career never fully flourished, which made him a perfect option for the Carolina Hurricanes. Carolina’s front office thoroughly enjoys buying low […]

It isn’t time for the Ottawa Senators and head coach Travis Green to start panicking just yet. Green’s team sits last in the Atlantic Division standings, but just two points stand between them and the fourth-place team in the division.

The Winnipeg Jets’ struggles this season are difficult to understand. The group fell short in last year’s playoffs, but they took home the President’s Trophy for the NHL’s best regular season team, and also had the league’s MVP in net with Connor Hellebuyck.

Goaltender Philipp Grubauer turned in one of his strongest performances of the season, stopping 41 shots and anchoring a victory that pushed Seattle’s point […]

Washington Capitals star Alex Ovechkin is an ageless wonder who is showing little-to-no signs of slowing down.

The Philadelphia Flyers signed Christian Dvorak to a one-year contract in NHL Free Agency last summer. They needed depth down the middle and hoped he could become an important part of the team.

The Toronto Maple Leafs are still near the basement of the Eastern Conference as 2026 continues.

The Maple Leafs have dealt with a ton of injuries this season, including one to defenseman Chris Tanev. […]

The New York Islanders are in second place in the Metropolitan Division with 50 points in 42 games. They weathered the storm in recent weeks with multiple injuries impacting the team.
