The New York Rangers are in a bad way. After starting the 2024-25 season 12-4-1 and again looking like a President’s Trophy contender, the Blueshirts have lost six of seven dating back to November 21.

The Boston Bruins have already made one big change this season, firing Jim Montgomery and replacing him with Joe Sacco on an interim basis. And the front office isn’t done, with the next move to come on the ice — at least according to The Fourth Period’s Dennis Bernstein. “They’re looking for offence… they’ve been […]

The St. Louis Blues have already made a major change in leadership in the last week, terminating head coach Drew Bannister after former assistant coach Jim Montgomery became available.

The Detroit Red Wings are off to a rough start to another season. With 20 points in 21 games, Detroit’s playoff chances are dwindling with every loss.

The Philadelphia Flyers have begun to turn their season around after a brutal start to the 2024-25 campaign — but they still project to be sellers ahead of the March 7 NHL Trade Deadline. And the roster is filled with young forwards who could get a change of scenery between now and then, reported Daily […]

Are the Philadelphia Flyers getting ready to unload defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen? During a recent segment of TSN’s Insider Trading, Darren Dreger stated that Flyers GM Daniel Briere could be looking to move on from the defensemen despite a handful of years remaining on his contract, via Philly Hockey Now. “Danny Briere is one of the […]

The Ottawa Senators are off to a slow start to the 2024-25 season. Carrying a franchise record seven-season playoff drought, the expectations are mounting for their young core.

The Carolina Hurricanes are one of the premier teams in the National Hockey League in 2024-25, but the goaltending luck has been just brutal. Frederik Andersen is out for 8-12 weeks after undergoing knee surgery, while Pyotr Kochetkov is in concussion protocol and out indefinitely after colliding with a teammate on Saturday night. And with […]

The Ottawa Senators are in the bottom half of the league as the month of November nears an end. Ottawa entered the 2024-25 campaign with renewed hopes to make a playoff push. However, they have not had the greatest start to the season this year. And with Artem Zub going down with injury, the team […]

The New York Rangers got off to a blistering start to the 2024-25 NHL season. After a President’s Trophy season last year, they started 6-1-1 this year.

The Minnesota Wild are off to a solid start to the 2024-25 season. With 29 points through 19 games, they are firmly entrenched in the Western Conference playoff conversation.

Morgan Frost has been one of the biggest disappointments on the Philadelphia Flyers’ roster in 2024-25. Despite being given a top-six role and exposure to the top powerplay unit, the 25-year-old continues to struggle, managing just one goal and six points in 16 games. Frost is in head coach John Tortorella’s dog house — he’s […]

Lukas Dostal has been phenomenal between the pipes for the Anaheim Ducks in 2024-25, and due to the youngster’s breakout, veteran John Gibson could finally be traded after years of rumors. Gibson has two more years remaining on a contract that’s paying the American $6.4 million AAV — and that could be the reason he […]

The Montreal Canadiens continue to struggle mightily in 2024-25, and despite not making a playoff appearance since 2021, it doesn’t look like the roster as currently constructed has a chance to rectify that this season. That means a couple of veterans could be on their way out the door before the March 7th NHL Trade […]

No National Hockey League team in history has gotten off to a better start than the 2024-25 Winnipeg Jets — and general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff could be looking to make the team even better. Although The Fourth Period’s David Pagnotta reports that the GM won’t make “any bold moves now that may ruin the flow […]

It’s no secret that the Boston Bruins aren’t playing anywhere near the prolific level of hockey fans have gotten used to over the last few seasons. The 2024-25 Bruins are back to .500 at 8-8-2 and reeling after a 7-2 shellacking at the hands of the Dallas Stars on Thursday night. It makes sense that […]

The St Louis Blues are off to a rough start to the 2024-25 NHL season. They have 15 points from 17 games and are headed toward a rebuild. There are a few players who could bring in a solid package at the NHL trade deadline but goaltenders are always valuable. James Murphy of Responsible Gambler […]

The Montreal Canadiens have been brutal to start the 2024-25 NHL season. They are in last place in the entire league despite Cole Caufield leading the league with 12 goals. The 4 Nations Face-Off is just around the corner and the Wisconsin native is hoping to make the American team. TSN’s Pierre LeBrun reported that […]

Although the Calgary Flames have cooled off after a red hot start to the 2024-25 campaign, general manager Craig Conroy is reportedly not planning to transition into a full rebuild this season.

The Pittsburgh Penguins are off to a rough start to the 2024 season. They have lost four of their last five games entering Thursday and have just 15 points out of 18 games.

The Anaheim Ducks are off to another miserable start in 2024-25, and a couple of longtime veterans could be getting a change of scenery before next March’s trade deadline because of it. That includes Cam Fowler, who has been a heart and soul player for the team since being drafted 12th overall back in 2010. […]

The Boston Bruins continue to struggle early on in the 2024-25 NHL season. The B’s are sitting right at .500 through 16 games, putting together a pedestrian 7-7-2 record in that span. The offense has been particularly futile, and that includes veteran forward Trent Frederic. Frederic’s name has been swirling in trade rumors since former […]

The Vancouver Canucks have been patiently waiting for the return of Thatcher Demko in 2024-25 — and they may not be without their star netminder much longer. Demko could be back in the lineup later in November, Daily Faceoff’s Frank Seravalli reported on Friday. “There’s a growing hope that Thatcher Demko will be back for […]

For the second straight season, the Edmonton Oilers are struggling out of the gate.

The New York Islanders are all kinds of banged up right now, with multiple key players unavailable due to injury. The list of walking wounded includes forward Matt Barzal (out for four to six weeks) and defenseman Adam Pelech (also out for four to six weeks). Pelech was felled when the puck he was attempting […]

The Montreal Canadiens are off to a decent if unspectacular start in 2024-25, getting back to .500 after back-to-back victories over the St. Louis Blues and Philadelphia Flyers this weekend. As the 4-4-1 Habs continue to hang around the Eastern Conference playoff picture in the early going, general manager Kent Hughes wants to make the […]

It’s been an abysmal start to the season for John Tortorella’s Philadelphia Flyers in 2024-25 — but the veteran head coach’s job is safe for now, according to Daily Faceoff’s Frank Seravalli. “He isn’t going anywhere,” the hockey insider asserted on Friday. “Tortorella has the complete and total support of the organization, despite a scuffling […]

Despite several additions in the 2024 offseason, the Chicago Blackhawks remain near the bottom of the NHL’s Central Division.

Both the Montreal Canadiens and Utah Hockey Club have been hit hard by injuries early on in the 2024-25 NHL season, and the general managers of both cross-conference clubs are not standing pat.

The Calgary Flames have been one of the most surprising teams of the first month of the NHL season. After trading Jacob Markstrom to the New Jersey Devils, no one expected them to be good this year. With five wins in their first six games, expectations have changed. Now, Flames general manager Craig Conroy tells […]

The Nashville Predators probably could not have envisioned a worse start to the 2024-25 season, especially considering the moves general manager Barry Trotz made this summer. Through six games, the Preds are dead last in National Hockey League standings with an abysmal 1-5 record — and the GM is already making moves to rectify the […]

Tyler Johnson joined the Boston Bruins on a PTO ahead of training camp, and the veteran forward continues to wait patiently for a potential contract with the club, TSN’s Chris Johnston confirmed on the latest episode of Insider Trading. “[Johnson] still remains in Boston.

While the Colorado Avalanche have managed to rebound somewhat with two straight wins after initially starting the 2024-25 season with a stunning 0-4 record, one matter of business that management has turned their attention to is a new contract for star forward Mikko Rantanen.
