After I clocked out for the week from my full time gig, I decided to spend a bit of time looking to see what the likelihood is the Winnipeg Jets will use their final 14 remaining games to move up or down in the standings.
The recent losses to the Nashville Predators and Boston Bruins have made a playoff bid even more unlikely, yet the True Northers are still only 5 points back of the Los Angeles Kings for the Western Conference’s final wildcard spot. However, with three more clubs between...

At the end of Thursday evening, Matvei Michkov buried a shot behind Kings netminder Darcy Kuemper that few would’ve had a chance of stopping. He did a quiet celebration resembling a vintage Danny Briere, but knew the Flyers at least could live to fight another day. The Philadelphia Flyers winger then scored the shootout-deciding goal that gave his team the required two points . Considering just how hard he got rocked by Kings defenseman Drew Doughty in the third period, it was incredible that ...

Friend and Predators reporter Alex Daugherty is back to talk about Vladimir Orszagh, a Slovakian import who was undervalued as an Islander but was instrumental to establishing Nashville’s – and Alex’s – love for hockey. The late 1990’s were a terrible time for the Islanders. The loses were many and prospects had little support in […]

*The West Coast trip continues, and the Flyers delivered perhaps their most Flyers After Dark performance possible on the way to the shootout win over the Kings last night (or, you know, earlier today). RECAP: [ BSH ]
*The Flyers were without Sean Couturier for that one, as he’s out with an upper-body injury. No update yet as far as his timeline is concerned, but that’s something to keep an eye on. [ BSH ]

The Flyers closed out their back-to-back tonight in Los Angeles, and despite having to battle through a little bit of fatigue and a whole lot of depletion in their lineup, they were able to deliver a gutsy effort on the way to a shootout win, keeping their desperate push to stay in the playoff race alive.
The Basics
First period: 19:31- Quinton Byfield (Moore, Laferriere) Second period: :26- Travis Konecny (Ristolainen, Bump), :47- Anze Kopitar (Clarke, Panarin), 4:12- Noah Cates (Mi...

A season of struggle only gets worse for Sean Couturier, as he’ll miss tonight’s game against the Kings with an undisclosed upper-body injury, according to Rick Tocchet.
The Flyers captain has looked a step slower this season, only producing seven goals and 22 points throughout his 66 games, and being relegated to fourth line duties at five-on-five as of late. However, nothing about his performance against Anaheim on the first night of the Flyers’ west coast back-to-back suggested t...

The Flyers are back in action tonight, looking to close out the back-to-back well and head into the final game of the roadtrip on Saturday on a high note. They’re riding high after a huge win over that budding rival Ducks team, but the next challenge will be to avoid any hangover from that win, as they head to Los Angeles to face off against the Kings.

The Philadelphia Flyers are loaded on the wing, but have a lack of center depth at the NHL level. They have several pivots occupying their top 10 prospects list, but for immediate help at the NHL level, the team will have to look elsewhere. That has prompted Philly insider and Daily Faceoff writer Anthony Di Marco to propose four trade targets for the team to go after this summer. Robert Thomas, St. Louis Blues Thomas was the biggest name out there at the trade deadline, but the Blues ne...

It sounds like Jonathan Marchessault is having a little 'buyer's remorse' when it comes to his buying in on the Nashville Predators in free agency two summers ago. While his name was buzzing around the rumor mill as the trade deadline approached earlier this month, word is that Marchessault wanted out. And has for some time, according to insider Frank Seravalli, speaking on the Halford & Baugh podcast . Jonathan Marchessault has been trying to get out of Nashville for more than a c...

The Islanders kicked off an important mini-homestand with their second loss to the Los Angeles Kings in eight days.

The Islanders are back home for a back-to-back, starting with what will hopefully be a vengeance match against the Los Angeles Kings. Coach Patrick Roy has made some line adjustments, putting newcomer Brayden Schenn with Mathew Barzal instead of with Calum Ritchie, the center who his arrival bumped to the wing. Personally, it’s the Palat-Schenn […]

The math still says they aren’t eliminated, but this game was pretty emblematic of all the Devils problems this season, and is probably enough to even snuff out the hope of even the most optimistic of fan.

When forward Artemi Panarin signed in New York, he was one of the premier free agents in 2019. Leaving the Columbus Blue Jackets after sweeping the Tampa Bay Lightning in the first-round, he was highly coveted, and he chose to seek greener pastures after all was said and done. His friend Sergei Bobrovsky would exercise his rights to escape to Florida. The difference between the two is that Bobrovsky has two Stanley Cups to his name, while Panarin has nothing but disappointment to ...

We had heard in the days leading up to the trade deadline that pending unrestricted free agent Corey Perry wanted to stay in L.A. He did not want to be a trade deadline casualty and was willing and hoping to sign an extension for next season. The Kings seemed to be on board with that. But then, seemingly out of the blue, Perry was traded at the 11th hour, just before the deadline hit last Friday, to the Tampa Bay Lightning . So what happened? According to insider David Pagnot...
