The Calgary Flames are struggling through another difficult season. This has led to rumors of the Flames selling players, such as Nazem Kadri and Rasmus Andersson. Kadri and Andersson are likely to cost a lot to acquire, but another solid option, at a potentially lower cost, is Blake Coleman. According to James Murphy of RG, […]

The Los Angeles Kings are having a really hard time scoring goals in 2025-26. After sitting in the upper echelon of the National Hockey League with an average of 3.04 goals per game last season, it’s been a much more sobering narrative this time around. Through 27 games, the Kings are producing just 2.56 goals […]

Gary Bettman’s legacy as NHL Commissioner will be his growth of the sport in the USA through expansion and relocation. Since joining the league in 1993, Bettman has put new teams in Florida, Anaheim, Nashville, Atlanta, Minnesota, Columbus, and, most recently, Las Vegas and Seattle. He also helped relocate Minnesota to Dallas (before returning to […]

The Ottawa Senators finally returned to the playoffs last season, which raised their expectations heading into this season.

The Vancouver Canucks are stuck in the basement of the NHL standings as December continues.

According to Pierre LeBrun, the Montreal Canadiens, Dallas Stars, and Minnesota Wild are all asking about Sherwood. “More than […]

The Nashville Predators and Steven Stamkos haven’t had a great relationship since he signed a four-year deal in the 2024 offseason. Barry Trotz’s roster revamp has been a colossal failure, and it looks like the former Tampa Bay Lightning captain could be on the move as early as this season. Stamkos holds an $8 million […]

The Vancouver Canucks are in the throes of another tough season, a situation all the more frustrating for themselves and their fans considering they’re only two seasons removed from being the top team in the Pacific Division. They haven’t adjusted as well to the new coaching methods of Adam Foote, who is in his first […]

The Montreal Canadiens recently made a splashy move on their blue line, with the Habs signing defenseman Mike Matheson to a five-year contract extension worth $30 million. The signing came just over a month after Montreal inked reigning Calder Trophy winner Lane Hutson to a massive eight-year, $70.8 million extension. Given the pair of moves […]

The Dallas Stars are on a roll as the calendar shifts to the month of December. The final month of 2025 should officially determine which teams are contenders and which are looking forward to the 2026 NHL Draft in June. Dallas, however, is already firmly in the contender camp. And they could further establish themselves […]

The New York Islanders were one of the feel-good stories of the NHL season after a 6-1 road trip in early November. They were in second place in the Eastern Conference for a quick moment.

It isn’t just Edmonton Oilers fans hoping their goaltending nightmare will soon end.

The Vegas Golden Knights continue to ride Akira Schmid and Carl Lindbom in the injury absence of starter Adin Hill — but that dynamic could be changing very soon. As TSN hockey insider Chris Johnston reported on Tuesday night’s episode of Insider Trading, it’s only a matter of time until Carter Hart gets his shot […]

It’s once again been a struggle for the Vancouver Canucks to find consistency, as they’re currently in seventh place in the Pacific Division with a subpar record of 9-12-2 through the first 23 games of the 2025-26 NHL campaign. Naturally, as a team struggles as the Canucks are, there are going to be trade rumors […]

The Toronto Maple Leafs are off to a dreadful start to the 2025-26 NHL season, with a 9-10-3 record. They are last in the Eastern Conference and will not have their first-round pick in June’s draft if it lands outside the top five. That is because the Maple Leafs traded for Brandon Carlo, who struggled […]

The Nashville Predators are off to a dreadful start to the 2025-26 season, leading to a lot of trade rumors. Ever since signing Steven Stamkos, Jonathan Marchessault, and Brady Skjei before last season, the Predators have been disastrous.

After narrowly missing the playoffs last season, many expected the Vancouver Canucks to make another run at the postseason this year. Unfortunately, the Canucks have stumbled to a 9-12-2 start to begin the 2025-26 campaign. If this current dip in form continues, Vancouver could look to deal multiple players ahead of the March trade deadline. […]

The Montreal Canadiens started the season hot, but have struggled as of late. They are 2-4-3 in their last nine games, but did defeat the Toronto Maple Leafs 5-2 on Saturday night. This had led to speculation that the Canadiens are making trade calls. Now, it is being reported that the team is clearly looking […]

The Vancouver Canucks are currently one of the worst teams in the NHL. If the season ended today, they would finish with the fourth-best odds of winning the NHL Draft lottery. It’s a far fall from grace for a team that won the Pacific Division a few years back, thanks to a Norris Trophy performance […]

It’s rare to see a team roll with three goaltenders for an entire season, and it looks like the Buffalo Sabres might not try to change that trend in the 2025-26 season. With Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen out of the lineup with an injury in training camp, the Sabres claimed Colten Ellis on waivers from the St. […]

The career of Boston Bruins defenseman Charlie McAvoy has been an unfortunate one with respect to injuries. Whenever McAvoy seems to be playing his best and getting back into form, he is hit with another setback. The most recent one came in last Saturday night’s rivalry game against the Montreal Canadiens, when he was hit […]

The Chicago Blackhawks gave one of their young players, Lukas Reichel, a fresh start when they traded him to the Vancouver Canucks earlier this season.

The Ottawa Senators are on a vital West Coast trip, with matchups against the San Jose Sharks and Los Angeles Kings coming up. They are still without Brady Tkachuk, although the captain is expected back soon. But that isn’t stopping the front office from scouring the market. Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman reported that the Senators are […]

It has been an interesting career for Brad Lambert with the Winnipeg Jets. He burst onto the scene with 55 points in 64 games in his rookie AHL season.

The team is dealing with a plethora of long-term injuries, with Kirby Dach and Alex Newhook recently joining Kaiden Guhle and Patrik Laine on the shelf. The Habs are paper thin at […]

At 39, he wasn’t supposed to look like this. Evgeni Malkin is playing at a level that has surprised even the Pittsburgh Penguins, and it has pushed trade rumors and contract questions back into the spotlight. He leads the team in scoring. He’s creating chances on tired legs. And he’s beating Father Time in real […]

The Buffalo Sabres and Alex Tuch have become the focus of a growing debate, with tension climbing over a potential extension as both sides face one sizable gap in contract talks.

The Anaheim Ducks are surging under new head coach Joel Quenneville to start the 2025-26 season. They are 13-6-1, atop the Pacific Division, but not everyone is happy in Southern California. Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman reported that Ducks defenseman Pavel Mintyukov is asking for a trade as his playing time diminishes. “After back-to-back healthy scratches, word […]

The four-year association between David Kampf and the Toronto Maple Leafs came to an end this week when the team gave the 30-year-old center his unconditional release.

The St. Louis Blues could have a lot of things happening between now and the trade deadline if they don’t turn things around. It has been a disappointing start for last year’s surprise playoff team, as the shine of new head coach Jim Montgomery slowly starts to wear off. While General Manager Doug Armstrong won’t […]

The recent influx of contract extensions in the NHL would’ve led everyone to believe that the Los Angeles Kings and Adrian Kempe would reach a deal in short order. There’s no reason why Kempe wouldn’t want to keep playing hockey in Los Angeles, and the other extensions served as a starting point for a potential […]

The Nashville Predators aren’t where they wanted to be in the second year of their all-in strategy. Steven Stamkos’ first year in Nashville was a flop, as he, Jonathan Marchessault, and Brady Skjei signed a couple of big contracts before the 2024-25 season, which ultimately led to them being one of the worst teams in […]

The Calgary Flames are off to a hugely disappointing start in 2025-26, winning just four of their first 15 games and currently sitting dead last in league standings ahead of a home matchup with the Chicago Blackhawks on Friday night.

It has been a brutal start for the St. Louis Blues and they are going to need a major turnaround if they are going to have a chance to earn a spot in the Western Conference playoff structure this season. After 15 games, the Blues have a troubling 5-8-2 record and they are in 15th […]

The Nashville Predators were one of the most disappointing teams of the 2024-25 campaign.

It’s been a struggle in the early goings of the 2025-26 NHL season for the St. Louis Blues, who are in last place in the Central Division with a 5-8-2 record.

The Carolina Hurricanes’ ongoing search for a high-impact forward has led them to the Calgary Flames’ Nazem Kadri, but a significant obstacle stands in the way. Carolina has been actively pursuing a top-line player since missing out on Mikko Rantanen and Mitch Marner last season. Yet Kadri, one of the most experienced centers on the […]
