The Edmonton Oilers have two of the best players in the world on two of the biggest contracts in the league.

The Toronto Maple Leafs are having an uncharacteristically quiet season. They have bought in on Craig Berube’s defense-first coaching style and are in second place in the Atlantic Division.

The New York Islanders are fresh off a seven-game winning streak that has them back in the playoff race. Part of the resurgence has been thanks to Brock Nelson. He has scored five of his 15 goals since January 1, pushing for a fourth straight 30-goal season. Nelson has been a hot name ahead of […]

At this point of the season, it is clear that the New York Islanders will likely not win the Metropolitan division.

The Colorado Avalanche stunned the hockey world on Friday night, making one of the biggest blockbuster trades of the 21st century that sent superstar forward Mikko Rantanen to the Carolina Hurricanes.

Logan Thompson has emerged into one of the National Hockey League’s premier goaltenders in 2024-25, and the offseason trade that sent him to the Washington Capitals was undoubtedly one of the deals of the summer.

The Chicago Blackhawks continue to struggle in the 2024-25 NHL season, finding themselves in the very last spot in the standings. Management clearly had higher expectations in 2023 first-round draft pick Connor Bedard’s sophomore season, and it resulted in the firing of head coach Luke Richardson in early December. One player that the club is […]

Jonathan Toews hasn’t played a National Hockey League game since April of 2023, but the three-time Stanley Cup champion could be eyeing a return to the game in 2024-25.

The Edmonton Oilers have already made a key signing to bolster their back end, signing veteran Swedish defenseman John Klingberg to a one-year, pro-rated contract for the remainder of the 2024-25 NHL season.
