The bulk of Patrick Kane’s goals came when he was one of the league’s top players with the Chicago Blackhawks, but that didn’t make hitting the 500-career milestone any less special on Thursday night for the Detroit Red Wings. Kane scored his second of the game and 500th of his career into an empty net […]

The night turned into another milestone moment for Sidney Crosby, whose second assist gave him 1,087 career assists with Pittsburgh, tying Wayne Gretzky for […]

The New York Islanders have played good hockey as of late, and part of their positive play is thanks to Islanders rookie Matthew Schaefer. Schaefer has made an immediate impact at the NHL level since his debut. However, it’s important to remember that he is a rookie. And he learned a valuable lesson on Thursday […]

The Ottawa Senators have been without goaltender Linus Ullmark since the end of December. He took a personal leave away from the team, and it’s unclear when the veteran netminder will return to the ice. Unfortunately, his absence created some rather unfortunate online discussion. And the Senators were none too pleased to see these rumors […]

The Detroit Red Wings re-signed Patrick Kane this summer, knowing an important milestone was on the horizon.

Kane scored in […]

It’s been a miserable campaign for the Winnipeg Jets, who have followed up their President’s Trophy-winning 2024-25 season by sitting 15-21-5 and dead last in National Hockey League standings through 41 games. It’s been a remarkable fall from grace for a roster that was once again hoping to compete for the Stanley Cup come April. […]

The New Jersey Devils are in the middle of a disastrous stretch of their season. They just lost 9-0 to the New York Islanders, and fans are clamoring for a change.

Team Finland’s Olympic roster reveal didn’t have the same hype, considering their best player, Aleksander Barkov, will miss the tournament while recovering from a knee injury. The Finnish squads always show up at International tournaments, but depth is a concern. With their top center and likely captain missing, things get even more concerning for the […]

It’s hard to justify what a “snub” is when it comes to Team Canada’s Olympic roster. The definition of a snub is when someone doesn’t see a player as an option in favor of a lesser talent. There is no shortage of talent in Canada’s player pool, and all 25 players on the team’s roster […]

NHL players are heading to the Olympics for the first time since 2014.

The Florida Panthers just played host to the 2026 Winter Classic. It was the first time the Panthers played in an outdoor game, and despite temperatures being in the lower 60s, the ice was solid.

Hall of Fame goaltender Glenn Hall, whose remarkable streak of 502 consecutive regular-season games remains one of the most enduring records in professional sports, died Wednesday at a hospital in Stony Plain, Alberta, at the age of 94.

The Edmonton Oilers announced Wednesday that veteran forward Adam Henrique has been placed on injured reserve and is not expected to return until after the NHL’s Olympic break.

The Florida Panthers are coming off a 4-1 loss on the road at the hands of the Toronto Maple Leafs on Tuesday, but that’s not the only concern for the reigning Stanley Cup champions.

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. Fleury slid hard into the end boards in the first period of […]

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 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.

However, Duclair made sure […]

The Winnipeg Jets are hoping to get back on track as they take on the Vegas Golden Knights on Tuesday.
