Welcome to Saturday night, folks! We’ve got our first Bruins game of the calendar year. Time to start fresh and all of that good stuff…except maybe not, as it’d be nice to see the B’s replicate their last performance of 2025. The Canucks are not a good hockey team, so this game should be there […]

First things first: The Buffalo Sabres aren't trading anyone coming off the highs of their just completed 10-game winning streak. But... There's a big piece of internal business that does need to get done by new GM Jarmo Kekalainen, or there could be a big change by the trade deadline. Alex Tuch's pending unrestricted free agency is still hanging over the team, and while it hasn't affected them—or him—recently, if the two sides can't agree on an extension, a trade is certainly in the off...

Denver Barkey is on the board.
The Philadelphia Flyers rookie has provided some energy and solid two-way play in his short time in the NHL, but he only had two assists — both recorded in his debut at Madison Square Garden — to show for it. That changed on Saturday afternoon in Edmonton.
After some early pressure by the Oilers, it was Barkey who settled things down and opened the scoring in Edmonton.
The 20-year-old winger started the breakout in his own end and dashed down the c...
